Why Voip?

So many small businesses use their personal cellphones when making business-related phone calls. Some may even be using traditional landlines for their calling needs. While it makes sense to use your cellphone, and it can be scary to make a change, owning a business in the 21st century may require an upgrade We want to be your choice!

The alternative to personal cellphones and landlines is VoIP, or Voice over IP, which will give you and your company a more professional feel and a competitive edge. You should be looking into separating your personal phone from business, but you aren’t sure if it’s the best decision, look no further Vetstelecom is here for you, We’ll review some of the reasons why you’ve made the right choice.

The Traditional Way: Get a Separate Line

Once you’ve decided to stop using your personal phone for your business, the traditional way to get a new number was to simply get a separate line. That means contacting the phone company, asking them to run a new line to your house (which usually includes a setup fee), and then paying extra every month for the new line—you’ll pay $20-30 per month on the low end for a residential line, and in the $60+ range per month for a business line. This is still an option, but the problem is that now your business phone number is tied to your house or office location, and can only be answered if you’re physically there. Even if you’re able to get a cheap landline, this option lacks convenience.

Since it’s 2020 and more people have cell phones without even owning a landline, your second option is to simply get a second phone and carry that around with you. Tons of small business owners do this, carrying around two iPhones and constantly switching between them. This solution does work and allows you to answer the business phone line from anywhere, but it’s not the cheapest way of doing business. The cost of an expensive phone plus the money for the extra line adds up really fast—for instance, a $699 iPhone plus around $30 per month for an extra line ends up being over $1000 over a year. Not the best way to go. Let Vetstelecom show you how we can save you a ton of money join the 100’s of customers already using our service.

The Best Way: Voice over IP, or VoIP

Now that we’re in the days of always-connected internet access from every device, you no longer need to use the traditional phone networks anymore. We can make phone calls over the internet that are not only cheaper and unlimited but actually sound clearer than a traditional phone, so you can better understand what your customers are saying.

VoIP can not only be used to power physical phones sitting on your desk, but can also be used as an app on your current phone that allows you to place and receive calls from any existing phone, and all for a fraction of the cost or you can use a follow me feature on most VoIP service providers.

Need more than one phone line for your business? It’s not a problem with VoIP, you just upgrade your plan and plug in extra phones into your network, or set up the apps on your computer or phone.

And if you’re upgrading your business from a landline or cell phone number, you can usually port your current number to the VoIP system so your contacts will be able to reach you We do this Free of Charge for you! You will simply have to sign a LOA ( letter of Authorization ) allowing us to act on your behalf.

VoIP Has Huge Advantages Over Traditional Phones

The cost is the biggest reason that people choose to switch to VoIP, but it’s not the only thing to consider—there are also great features that will save you time and money, and simply aren’t possible with the traditional phone line options available for small businesses.

Large corporations have the budget to set up and maintain a complex PBX system with a receptionist and extensions for each desk. But you don’t need to bother with all that by using VoIP, which has those features and a lot more, built right into a low monthly fee. We also offer a Channel Service which saves you even more money by allowing more flow to each number and you not having to buy rollover numbers.

Choosing a good business Phone Plan.

Now that you know all about the advantages of VoIP, it’s time to choose a business phone plan, and that’s where it gets tricky because there’s a lot of solutions out there, and none of them are necessarily right for everybody. But luckily we’ve got experience running a business, so here’s our recommendations based on what we know.

If you work for a very large corporation, you’re probably going to end up with a solution from a large company like Cisco or Avaya, but those systems don’t work for everybody, and certainly aren’t usually a good choice for a small business.
