There are certain aspects of VoIP that are very attractive depending on you (the client). Let us give you a few things to ponder about within your own business to decide if VoIP might be a savvy strategy for your company or a waste of money.

First of all what does the typical VoIP plan look like? Most of the VoIP companies are going to charge you a per phone monthly cost of between $20 and $50 per month. Inside of that cost is usually bundled with all of your features and long distance. You still need to purchase the VoIP handset which can range from $80 to $700 with the average phone being a $250 onetime charge. On top of that you need an internet service provider for your phones to work–DSL, Cable, internet T1, etc.

Add up all the costs to go VoIP. You will quickly figure out that only in certain cases does VoIP truly make sense. What are those scenarios? We’d love to discuss that with you, please feel free to contact us to see if your company fits into one of our money saving VoIP scenarios.
