The way the VOIP network has been built by the network carriers has made the management of the voice network much cheaper to install and run, thus the costs are significantly lower. On average companies save 50% due to the line rental being at least half the price per month compared to their Standard/ISDN lines as well as the call rates themselves being a significantly cheaper than the rates on ISDN and Analogue.
With call costs for UK National and Local at 1.5p/min, UK Mobile calls just 5p/min and International calls from just 1.5p/min, its clear to see why migrating your business telephony to Hosted Voice is a choice that doesn’t really need too much thinking about.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a type of technology that allows its users to make calls using the broadband Internet rather than the conventional or analog phone system. VoIP works by converting sound into digital voice communication and then transferring it through Internet broadband. So if you are using a VoIP telephone system, you are basically using the Internet to make phone calls. Using a VoIP system has several benefits for many businesses.
The cost of using a VoIP telephone is much cheaper than using a conventional phone. With Hosts Voice, Local and National calls in the UK cost just 1.5p per minute. Calls to UK Mobiles just 5p per minute. Making International calls with Host Voice are very low cost too, most countries cost the same as a UK National or Local Call.
The convenience and comfort provided by a VoIP telephone system is available all over the world. Using any broadband connection, you can plug in your VoIP telephone, and you will get a dial tone. Regardless of where you are, if you have Internet access, there’s no issues in terms of costs and connections. Let’s say an employee want’s to work from home. As long as they have broadband, they simply plug their company phone into their internet connection and the have the same number and extension numbers as they did in the office. What’s more, calls between the employees home and the office are totally free – it’s as if they were still in the office – you can even transfer calls to and from their phone. VoIP systems are also accessible via mobile Apps. When you are traveling, simply smartphone with you (having installed the VOIP APP of course, you can contact staff or clients with a low cost call just like you would as if you were at your desk.

Hosted PBX phone systems have an array of benefits for businesses of all sizes. So, if you want the latest technology at a fraction of the price of a traditional telephone system, or you don’t want the expense of paying maintenance to subcontracted engineers then perhaps it’s time to move your phone system to the cloud. Below is our top five benefits of a hosted PBX phone system:
A Hosted PBX is likely to have fewer expenses for repairs than a traditional PBX because Hosted PBXs are managed by a third-party vendor. In addition, hosted telephony requires little or no complex infrastructure to purchase or set up as it uses an Internet connection to deliver your telecommunications.
A hosted PBX enables your communication requirements to grow seamlessly with your business. In fact, the hosted solution enables businesses to add phone lines, extensions and even connect to mobile devices without facing the limitations imposed by “old style” phone systems’ hardware.
A hosted PBX system can be counted on to connect every call without lagging response times, delays or lapses in call quality. You can count on the clear reception of each call, as Internet-based telephony is touted for its improved quality over that of traditional PSTN connection.
The up-keep of a hosted PBX system is managed by the phone system provider in an off-site location, so you don’t have to dedicate in-house staff, time and money to keeping an on-premises system up and running. Your company will experience more uptime because the hosted PBX system doesn’t have to be taken offline for maintenance, updating, or repairs.
Often, the first thing that “goes down” in the case of an unforeseen event such as a storm, fire or power outage is your telephone’s connection. That is, if you’re still using a legacy system. This disruption can bring productivity to a screeching halt, which affects your bottom line and external communications with important vendors and clients, for instance. A hosted PBX can solve this problem as your infrastructure is protected in a hosted environment. As such, your flow of communications can continue even in an emergency.
