Phoning someone through the internet isn’t a new concept. Thanks to apps like Skype, Discord, and WhatsApp, people have been able to communicate internationally for years.
However, using these platforms for your business doesn’t look professional.
With Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls having to be planned in advance… what should you do when you need to ring someone in an emergency? We recommend investing in a VoIP subscription.
What is a VoIP Subscription?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) combines your internet with a telephone service, meaning you can have a second number registered on one mobile phone. It allows business owners and account managers to avoid handing out their personal details to customers, while also allowing them to contact people at a moment’s notice.
What are the Benefits of a VoIP Subscription?
The VoIP provider we use at Keytech is user-friendly; allowing you to deactivate your business number after your office hours. In cases where you need to be ‘always on’ (but still want a little bit of peace!), you can set the app up to divert calls to voicemail or forward important messages to a different mobile number – saving you from missing important contact requests.
Why Should I Use VoIP and Not WhatsApp?
Let’s face it. VoIP is pretty similar to WhatsApp, allowing you to text and call people through the internet in order to avoid costly international fees. However, most people will also use their WhatsApp to contact their friends and family. A VoIP subscription allows you to avoid mixing business and pleasure, giving you some downtime when you need it.
Where Can I Purchase a VoIP Subscription?
You’re in luck! Keytech, an IT and Telecom provider based in the United Kingdom, can help set you up with a VoIP subscription and your shiny new business number. We’ll teach you how to use the app and establish all your preferred settings. Contact us today for more information.
