The modern world gives us a lot of helpful technologies. You may hear about IP telephony or VoIP and its great positive impact on business activities. However, most people do not really understand why they need to use this service, what problems it can help to solve, and finally, who is the best provider of it.

We have a simple answer to the last question because it is a HotTelecom. What about others – let’s go into the matter.

What is a VoIP?

If we try to set aside intricate technical details and put it in layman’s terms, VoIP also known as IP telephony is a technology that allows sending voice signals by packet switching. Work of such service doesn’t demand some additional equipment and skills.

One thing you need is a stable Internet connection separate from regular phones and the bandwidth of over 100 kb/s. You can see the theory of VoIP operation in the picture below.

Who and how can use VoIP?

VoIP is a vital tech for businesses with multiple locations (and no odds in one country or several) and organizations with remote and\or home workers. One closed communication system creates an impression that everybody is in one office. It helps to speed up workflow and ease business processes. Also, enterprises save money on long-distance calls. 

In addition, there are several types of VoIP for some specific tasks not only for businesses:

• SMS and disposable phone numbers are useful when you need to register on some website to receive some service and you wish to protect your private data and minimize internal spam;
• toll-free numbers are a great option for businesses who want to have a hotline;
• landline phone numbers can sound crazy in the context of internet telephony but sometimes you need to have one and VoIP allows you to change place without changing your corded phone number.

We hope this information would assure you that VoIP by HotTelecom suits all your needs!
