How to Choose the Best VoIP Phone System For Your Business

When choosing a VoIP solution for your next business phone system you don’t want to go for the cheapest monthly fee and set yourself up at a disadvantage.

Here is a quick checklist of questions to ask and things to consider when looking at a new Cloud VoIP solution for your next phone system. Knowing what questions to ask and what to consider will benefit you today and also in the future.

  1. Can employees bring their VoIP phone with them or are they tied down to your office with it?
  2. Local support. If you have issues, who do you call and where are they located?
  3. Features – What’s included? Do you have to pay extra for auto attendants, music on hold, queueing, ring groups, paging etc?
  4. Mobility – Does the provider have a mobile app and is it included?
  5. Is there a contract? What’s the cost to add or remove users?
  6. Can a single user have 2 phones? Being able to share one user among multiple phones (home, office etc,) and not paying additional user fees is beneficial.
  7. Will the phones work with another provider?
  8. Can you keep your current phone numbers? Can you order new and toll free numbers?
  9. What support is there for analog devices (fax machine, credit card machines, security systems etc. ?

Ask the right questions and choose a system that will benefit you today and also the future. If you have questions contact us!
