Do more with an Internet phone system
Improve the way you communicate and experience a more efficient business with the help of an Internet phone system.
An Internet phone system is a communication solution ideal for businesses and offices, enabling even startups to project a professional image to its customers without having to pay an expensive monthly bill. By moving communications from the traditional phone lines to the World Wide Web, Internet phone systems equip businesses with functions which are otherwise inaccessible from an analog network. Through the development of the virtual phone system, a comprehensive and fully capable communications suite can now easily be afforded by startups, home businesses and mobile professionals.
One of the reasons why it is very affordable is the platform that it uses. Internet phone services are hosted by providers, and therefore do not require users to install and maintain expensive equipment and phone lines. Instead, subscribers can use all of their existing phone numbers and equipment and unify them through a single virtual phone number. Their phone lines are “in the clouds” and are maintained by the service provider. With a minimal monthly fee, subscribers are able to maximize features that are mainly Internet-driven.
Aside from the affordability, virtual phone systems also improve the efficiency of businesses. Features such as call forwarding and answering rules, for instance, enable businesses to set how calls will be answered. For example, calls during office hours will automatically be routed to the company’s local line, while those made during after hours will be routed to voicemail.
Other features include professional greetings read by an auto-attendant which promptly answers and routes each and every call 24 hours a day and seven days a week. This permits users to only answer calls that are intended for them, and eliminates the need to answer every call and forward it to the correct extension.
Similarly intelligent features help both the subscriber and their contacts to have an easier way of communicating with each other. For instance, Internet fax replaces the fax machine by transmitting all documents through email. RingCentral, the industry leader in virtual phone systems, even has an iPhone application which lets users view their received faxes as soon as they arrive in the mailbox. Moreover, the iPhone app also lets users receive and make calls using their business phone number through their iPhone. This way, business owners and mobile professionals can always receive calls even when they are out of the office.
An Internet phone system from RingCentral also allows calls to be answered automatically, so that no caller will ever hear a busy signal. Users do not have to stand by the phone all day answering calls. Instead, the auto attendant picks up the phone and routes callers to the correct extension or destination.
