Question: What Benefits Does VoIP Provide?
Why should I or my company consider using VoIP? How will it help mobile professionals?
Answer: VoIP can work on any computer with broadband Internet access. It is less expensive for long distance calls than traditional phone plans. With some VoIP plans you can choose your own area code, so that it makes it cheaper while traveling. You can have other numbers and even email routed to your VoIP account. Most VoIP plans offer additional programs or applications that would cost you extra with traditional phone packages. These include conference calling, 3-way calling, voice email and voice fax.
