Many
small business owners worry that, because Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) phone systems are so advanced and useful, they will not be able
to meet the requirements needed to get connected. Luckily, Internet
phone is very easy to set up and has far fewer requirements than the
standard private branch exchange service most businesses use. In fact,
you probably already have most of the necessary equipment already. Here
is everything you need to get started:
- A computer – This is necessary to install the VoIP software, which gives you extra call features
like live call recording, audio marketing and virtual faxing. All
future updates to the phone system will be software based and (if you
sign up with Chicago Business VoIP) 100% free.
- A phone
– The phone you use is the most specialized piece of equipment needed.
Not every phone can be used over your existing Internet connection.
Luckily, there are fantastic handsets available through companies like
Cisco Systems (our favorite). These devices deliver crystal clear call
quality and enhance the VoIP experience with interfaces that are
easy-to-use and loaded with features.
- A data source
– Internet phones can be used through any existing broadband Internet
service, whether it be cable, DSL or a T1 connection. All you have to
do is plug your phone directly into your modem and your computer and
then you’re ready to go. If your small business needs to connect
multiple users to the network, you could always purchase a VoIP router,
which can cost less than $100.
- A VoIP line – The last thing you need is an activated line for each phone in your business. When you choose Chicago Business VoIP,
we provide can provide you with each line for only $49.99 a month. This
plan offers you unlimited local and long distance calling and 50 advanced features that could cost you thousands of dollars extra with a regular phone line.
As
you can see, there is very little that you need to get your small
business connected to an Internet phone service. The low cost, ease of
setup, and value of the included extra features cannot be overstated.
If you have been looking for an easy way to give your company a
competitive edge in Chicago, Illinois, VoIP may be just what you are looking for.
