- About VOIP:
- VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol: An established industry-standard for Internet-based telephony.
- Many of our clients are aware of VOIP and it’s advantages, but aren’t sure how to proceed; Let us help you navigate the challenges of migrating to VOIP telephone service.
- The major benefits of VOIP phone service are:
- Save on long distance:
Calls are sent over the Internet where there are no long-distance charges. You’re only paying for per-minute use of Internet-to-phone systems on the far end. If you make a lot of calls to a certain part of the world, you might also consider purchasing a local number in that area, so all incoming and outgoing calls to contacts in that region are seen as “local” calls, providing further savings for both parties.
- Enhanced calling features:
Caller ID, call waiting, conference calling, enhanced voicemail, voicemail to email, improved call audio quality, etc.
- In order to build an effective phone system, there are a few other issues to consider:
- Continuity of service:
Battery backup for your handsets, base stations, switches, router, and Internet connection.
- Getting the Right Gear:
Even when our clients are clear on their phone system needs, many aren’t sure how to proceed with ordering their new gear. Let us help you by researching, sourcing, ordering, and procuring the right parts.

- Moving from Analogue Phone Service to a VOIP Carrier:
If you’re primarily interested in reducing your phone bills, there are many companies in the Canadian VOIP telecom sphere who can replace your existing local phone service, and/or long-distance carriers too. Their offerings are usually based on monthly minutes, unlimited minutes, and long distance calling zones. They also usually sell you an Analogue Telephony Adapter (ATA) which enables the connection between your current household phones and your broadband Internet modem/router. You can usually keep or transfer your existing phone number to their system too! Let us help you find the right solution for your transition to VOIP.
