Has the time come to pull the plug on your telephone’s landline? Unlock the list of benefits only found when switching to VoIP Business Phones!
How Did VoIP Business Phones Become Necessary?
The modern workplace has seen well-established businesses and organizations fully embrace a remote workforce. But for so many smaller companies, the mobile workforce has been eye-opening. Regardless of how each got there, the number one problem is staying connected with staff, customers, and partners. The solution? VoIP business phones.
These hosted devices give you and your team an easy way to access work lines, no matter what device is on hand or your physical location. That’s precisely how VoIP technology works. Essentially, VoIP is short for voice over internet protocol. That means you can call or receive incoming calls over the internet. Now, your staff members have access to their work line from any device or location when actively connecting to the internet.
How do VoIP business phones operate?
Instead of using a landline, VoIP business phones use the internet. Being hosted in the cloud, you avoid complex hardware maintenance. It’s a straightforward system; once set up, it can ring on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or that old, outdated desktop phone. Here’s what your team members can do:
- If they’re working from home, they can access their work line and any extensions.
- Get voicemails to their email if they missed any calls.
- Co-workers can have calls forwarded or transferred to them.
- Multiple people can be on a conference call.
- Record and save calls and meetings.
- And much, much more.
Simply put, VoIP phones allow your staff office mobility a traditional phone can’t provide. It also puts access to enterprise-grade features in their hands at a fraction of the cost.

How will my sales team benefit from VoIP business phones?
A considerable benefit for your sales team is how a VoIP business phone gives them the option to customize your phone number.
