VoIP Telephones

How many people out there are interested in it?  Do you know what VoIP (or VOIP / Voice over Internet Protocol) is, what it does, or how it can help you reduce business (or even home) overhead?  VoIP is a form of internet phone (to put it simply).  Instead of your calls going across the regular phone lines, they travel across the internet, and when they reach a local switchboard (where you are placing the call to), they are then transferred to the local telephone lines.  This is far more cost effective for the providers, because every call is like a local call, and those savings are passed on to you and your business.  Most home users would pay an average of $53 dollars a month (with tax) for unlimited nationwide calling for a regular phone line (Call waiting, voicemail, caller ID, etc).  Many VoIP solutions can offer the same service to home users (Vonage anyone?) for $32 a month (also with tax), some going as low as free lifetime use after you purchase the equipment (Ooma).

This type of service only scratches the surface of what there is out there, and we here at TH2 are working to provide our clients with viable solutions, and even give them the option to keep their existing phone systems and numbers in place.  We have taken a few clients phone bills and matched services for them with quotes.  One company would save $900 a month, all while keeping their current configuration.  This was very important to them, as they had spent quite a lot of money on a very complex phone system and phones.

If you would just like to see that you can save by switching to a VoIP phone system, give us a call!  We would be happy to get you a quote.
