- The biggest advantage of Hosted PBX is that it is highly money saving and cuts down on fixed capital expenses greatly. As there is no equipment to buy, monitor, maintain or upgrade, the total cost of ownership is drastically reduced. Many business enterprises save thousands of dollars on long distance calling by going for Hosted VOIP-PBX. Many service providers offer free of cost local calls and very low international rates, so that you can call as much as you want at flat rates. For companies having multiple office branches Hosted PBX is a great low cost alternative to communicate. Many Hosted VOIP-PBX service providers allow you to choose an area code that is different from your geographical area. This means if you live in Alaska and have office in New York, then you can get a virtual number with an area code of New York to enjoy free business calls from your home. The very cheap international rates offered by most service providers help you cut down on capital expenses due to long distance calling. Thus Hosted PBX systems do save 90% expenses on your phone bills.
- You're confusing VoIP with Business Phone Systems. They are two distinct products. True, VoIP trunks and unlimited calling can "save" monthly charges, but that doesn't mean the desk set has to be a VoIP or SIP phone. When you get down to it, you'll find that non-telco lines and trunks can reduce your costs, primarily because there's less regulation (and reliablility) in those products. In .our state, we pay $8.19 per line in Frontierland for the "poor and downtrodden". In CenturyLink, that number is about $15. Along comes the calbe or VoIP company and eliminates those charges. Let the Government start taxing it at the same rate and it's not so attractive. I'm not even going to mention the sound quality and the fact that you have to buy a better internet connection to make it work.
- What is my opinion? VoIP is a feature of some phone systems like hosted or virtual PBX.
- not quite sure that you would be saving 90% - your monthly bill would have to be quite high to save that much... most offices are already wired up for computer networking, so the phones could be connected to the existing CAT5 wiring and jacks - however it is recommended to put the VoIP phones on its own network - which is an expense of installing new wiring, jacks, patch panel, router and switch... (which still should end up costing less than a new installation of an analog PBX phone system... then you are going to want to ensure that you have battery back up... (another possible expense, unless your network closet already has back up power) then it would be recommended to have redundant internet connections - so this actually will increase your monthly internet costs... but, IP phones normally come with unlimited lines, so you do not need to pay for (lets just say) 50 lines per month, if they are not always being used... you pay per phone, or per extension with VoIP - which should save you money compared to POTS... cost is not the only factor to consider when switching from a POTS system to VoIP - sure the cost is something that is going to be a major motivating factor - but you are going to want to design your VoIP system with redundancy so that their is no single point of failure that will take out all of your phones, which is possible with VoIP, but unlikely with POTS... integration with your PCs - dialing from outlook, lower hardware costs, lower maintenance costs, lower labor costs (only need to maintain an IP infrastructure...) OPX (off premise extensions) are another benefit to VoIP - while this is possible with POTS, it is easier, and cheaper to implement with VoIP... i would recommend VoIP if properly implemented...
- hosted virtual PBX integrates telephone and internet technologies to create a phone system with minimum hardware and software requirements. Thus making the system very cost effective.Some of the features of the system like internet fax- a web based technology that eliminates long distance charges, others like VOIP, desktop call control system unify all communication devices.
- VoIP and other hosted phone system provider sometimes offer unlimited local calls, free minutes for overseas calls, discounted and low call rates.
