The Hidden Benefits of VoIP
Some benefits of VoIP are well hidden - or hidden enough that you might not be aware of them.
- Email alerts: for new voicemails (remember voicemail is included) that you can listen to right from your email without dialing into the voicemail system.
- Auto-Forward: In case of service or power outage, you can have all calls forwarded to another number, such as your cell phone, your office phone or a landline phone.
- SoftPhone: most if not all providers include free SoftPhone capability. This software based application lets you make calls from your PC or laptop without the phone. Many carriers have free downloads for this which can be programmed as point and click calling. Get for on the road!
- Virtual Numbers: carriers now offer virtual numbers as low as $5 a month that can be accessible from any valid area code. By using an area code local to your family, for instance, they can call you free of charge just as if it were a local call. Also great for business presence in other cities.
- Web Access: no more "on hold" moments with customer service. Login, change any account settings, order new lines, change service, add features...a true time saver!
These are just a few of the hidden benefits that VoIP can give you. Are you Ready!?
