Hosted VoIP
Hosted Voice over IP (VoIP)
At risk of oversimplifying, VoIP has become a big deal for small businesses because phone conversations only take 100Kb (0.1Mb) of bandwidth. Compared to the fact that most minimum available internet circuits are now 100Mb x 10Mb, that provides bandwidth for 100 concurrent calls on Spectrum’s minimum internet circuit. Now add in that the cost of a standard telephone line (also good for 1 concurrent call) these days is at least $45.00/month and in most cases, they are north of $50.00/month. Sounds like a pretty good solution.
With a Hosted Solution, You Can…
But Beware!
Sound like the perfect solution? VoIP is an easy sell and can be a great product.
Unfortunately, that product can come with headaches. Some people can spend 3 days without phone service and then 4 days stuck troubleshooting with their national carrier responsible for the outage. Phone outages mean lost leads, sales, and revenue.
We’re living in a world full of fly by night VoIP companies, all with deals that sound too good to be true. What’s more, they all have 100-page terms and conditions forms that you don’t have time to read but that you sign because you need an affordable phone option now.
The K&J Communications Difference
K&J Communications takes a different approach to Hosted VoIP, because we’ve been doing VoIP since it was invented (literally). We pre-qualify your site to make sure your network can handle it, we’re hands on during the installation and cut-over, we provide ongoing support, and we use a local Hosted VoIP Provider to provide the service. Something about seeing your provider’s management team on a regular basis and knowing where their office is gets you better support.
