How Can I Use VoIP?

Large enterprises and even the US Military have used VoIP for many years now. VoIP started to become commercially viable in early 1997. Ever since, VoIP has been evolving into a mainstream method to communicate by even the most technically laidback individual.

Gone are the days of VoIP service requiring expensive, custom hardware. VoIP equipment has become an open technology with standardization and multiple generations of advancement from real-world usage. This advancement in technology has made it far easier to deploy, use and maintain.

One of the biggest benefits to deploying a VoIP-based telephone system is cost. Once you have acquired the IP Phone or Analog Telephone Adapter, your costs to make and receive telephone calls are drastically reduced. There are even certain circumstances your telephone calls won't cost 'per-minute' any more. Our Getting Started With SIP Whitepaper provides specific details on deploying various 'free' VoIP service providers.

With the advancement of VoIP, Internet and Cellular technologies came a need for a smarter telephone system. Many have more than one telephone number they can be contacted at any given time. Being an active and on-the-move society, having more than one point of contact for those that need to make contact with you can be a frustrating process, especially if you have periods of time where you would rather not be disturbed, unless it is very important.

Using a VoIP-enabled system, you can add relevance to the calls that you receive. The Iotum Relevance Engine™ in conjunction with NuFone VoIP Service provides the necessary intelligence to determine when, how and where you receive your telephone calls without any noticeable difference to the person that is calling you.

For those looking to start a small business, a VoIP-based solution is perfect. With a minimal investment you can get a toll-free number or perhaps a number in New York or San Francisco then have calls automatically answered with a friendly greeting and options to route calls to the specific person and provide Voicemail if the call cannot be answered.

All it takes to get started is a VoIP telephone or Analog Telephone Adapter either of which can be acquired for less than $100.
