Although voice over internet protocol, or VOIP, has been around for years, more businesses in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties are replacing their traditional landline telephone systems with a VOIP phone system.

A VOIP phone system allows you to use an ordinary phone but connects through the internet, rather than into a wall jack. VOIP phone systems employ a box, much like digital television, that connects to your phone and the internet. Your voice is digitized and routed through the internet.

VOIP phone systems also can be upgraded with many features such as conference calling, call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding and voicemail. If you prefer, you can have a dedicated VOIP phone, or you can use your computer microphone, speaker or headset.

In order to transmit without noticeable delays, broadband internet capability, such as DSL or cable, is required. A VOIP phone system can even be extended to employees'laptop computers. Calls can be made from anywhere, just like a cell phone, but at a fraction of the cost.

VOIP Phone Systems are Money Savers

Businesses are finding VOIP phone technology is an alternative to costlier landline systems that literally pays benefits immediately. With a VOIP phone system, there is a minimal or no charge for long distance calling, meaning a savings of up to 80 percent on phone bills. That is the primary reason the technology has grown in popularity the last several years. Industry observers have stated that up to one-third of all telephone systems will be VOIP within five years.

Features common to landline systems such as caller ID, conference calls, voicemail and auto-forwarding are also available. There is no separate phone system wiring and no IT staff to maintain the company's phone network.
