What are the benefits of VoIP?

The single largest benefit of VoIP is in cost savings. For customers, that will mean significant savings on their telephone bill - from line rental to national, international and mobile calling. For Internet Service Providers and System Integrators it will mean the ability to offer all the benefits of VoIP to the vast majority of Australian businesses including:

• Convergence of voice and data
  By carrying voice and data on the same network, not only do you have a more efficient, cost-effective communications network, but it is simplified and provided by one carrier. The offer of bundled services and packages also saves customers time and money by bringing all of their telecommunication needs under one banner and in one bill.
  
  
• VoIP Wide-area network (WAN) with free on-net calling
  Companies with multiple sites can easily set up a VoIP Virtual Private Network (VPN) and link all of their offices' voice and data, allowing for a closed-circuit network with shared data and free on-net calling.
  
  
• Remote access to main offices
  Employees can now communicate from home (and on the road with a soft-phone) back to the head office and to other remote employees for no cost.
  
  
• IP PBX
  With features such as:
  • Unified messaging (e.g. voice mail to email)
  • Call forwarding/call following
  • Enhanced conference calling
  • Scalability and mobility
