Basically, a VoIP service uses the Internet to make phone calls, instead of the old-fashioned phone network (known as the PSTN, publicly switched telephone network).

At Insightconxs, we take security and toll fraud very seriously, therefore as part of your monthly package at no extra cost or engineering cost, we update your phones, firmware, and network so that you can be comfortable in the knowledge that you are safe.

Internet protocol is what allows you to access web sites and the Internet. It allows you to exchange data with other sites on the web. VoIP converts your voice into data and then sends and receives this data on the Internet.

VoIP converts the sound of your voice into data and uses Internet Protocol to send that data over a Broadband / Fibre circuits.

You need a high-speed internet connection, an IP phone and a VoIP Service Provider. You can use a softphone, which is a computer application that allows you to make VoIP calls from your computer.

The same way you would use any Phone previously, just pick up the phone and dial the number you’d like to call. You do have to sign up with a VoIP provider first in order to get service. If you’re using a softphone, you will have to open the program on your computer, then you can dial the number you want to call.

In the same way as you use your current phone, except the calls are being delivered to you over your internet connection.

Anyone with a phone number. You can also conference call more easily and call internationally for much less than using a non-VoIP service.

We’re happy to say that call quality, overall, has vastly improved and is now as good as or better than call quality on a land line. Most call quality issues are caused by poor or incorrectly sized network connectivity.  Both VoIP providers and customers now have access to better, faster Internet networks. This means that calls sound better.

Yes, a VoIP service will work from any location with internet access.  As your numbers are managed by a VoIP provider, calls can be delivered to any physical location with internet access allows the IP Phones to register phones with the service.

No. With most VoIP service providers, you do not need a computer to use VoIP. You can just use an IP Phone. You do need a computer if you are going to be using a softphone — because a softphone uses your computer as a phone.

For extra flexibility or if you would like access reporting suites, computer for these would be required.

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a term used to describe technologies that use the IP protocol to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information, traditionally carried over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The call travels in the form of packets, over a Local Area Network (LAN), or the Internet, avoiding PSTN tolls.

SIP trunks are specific telephone line trunks delivered over IP using the SIP protocol. Using this standard protocol, telecom service (VoIP) providers connect one or more channels to a customer’s existing PBX. Phone numbers and DIDs are linked to the SIP trunk. In many cases numbers can be ported to the SIP trunk.

A Hosted PBX is a private branch exchange (PBX) delivered as a hosted service. It’s also known as a Virtual PBX and the advantages companies that use it experience are the elimination of installation, operation and maintenance costs of their VoIP PBX as their VoIP service provider hosts their PBX for them.

A Hosted PBX still allows companies to utilise and take complete advantage of their phone system’s feature set such as voicemail, faxing, automated greetings, conferences and so on.

Companies that offer Hosted PBX’s as a service to their customers handle the call routing or switching as well as all maintenance involved in the hosted PBX service.

There are three ways that a hosted PBX works; either over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) over the Internet (hosted IP PBX via Internet Telephony or Voice Over IP, VoIP) or with a combination of the two.

The biggest benefits are the cost and the network issues that arise when a small company wants to install a Unified Communications solution. Small companies don’t have the bandwidth to put VoIP and UC on their internal networks so suddenly, they will need to worry about quality of service. Hosted VOIP Providers eliminate this headache for businesses. The Hosted VOIP Provider still must be managed by the business but they will not need to hire a dedicated person to do so.

For small companies with 5 to 10 connections hosted PBXs are ideal as they do not have any

in-house administration to worry about and neither are they involved in the phone system.

As with any service provider, it’s up to the customer to do their research and compare hosted VoIP/PBX providers to find the one that best fits their needs.
Initially companies must look at finding a hosted PBX provider that supports mobile initiatives. It’s important for the desktop phone system to be able to interact with smartphones or other mobile devices to forward calls, but there are also in-depth applications available from some vendors that will essentially give the user a full desktop client on their mobile device. This is particularly helpful for companies that embrace bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and want to give users the ability to use mobile VoIP/PBX clients.

It’s also important to find a provider that the company feels that they can trust and that can provide them with personalized customer service.

Hosted Telephony, or Cloud Telephony is a service that delivers all the features and more of a traditional PBX but as a hosted service. Many advantages companies that use it experience are the elimination of installation, operation and maintenance costs of their on-premise VoIP PBX

A Hosted PBX still allows companies to utilise and take complete advantage of their phone system’s feature set such as voicemail, faxing, automated greetings, conferences and so on.

Companies that offer Hosted PBX’s as a service to their customers handle the call routing or switching as well as all maintenance involved in the hosted PBX service.

There are three ways that a hosted service works; either over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) over the Internet (hosted IP Service via Internet Telephony or Voice Over IP, VoIP) or with a combination of the two.

Most companies have moved or are moving to a Hosted IP Service, as this brings significant benefits to an organisation. Supporting mobility of staff, use of collaborative tools for messaging, video etc.  typically, most customers see a reduction on their IT spend due to the flexibility of being able to scale the service up or down as the business needs to.

Analog telephones communicate with one another over traditional copper wires while IP phones transfer information via the internet over a broadband internet connection to another phone where the stream of voice data is reassembled into its original form.

The same way you would with an ordinary telephone. The only difference is that you use an IP phone that is plugged into an Ethernet connection the same as your computer uses instead of a phone jack because the call is made digitally over the internet.

Yes, we can port existing numbers to the new service, ensuring you stay in touch with your customers with no disruption

Initial and Ongoing cost savings – there’s no need for a large investment before installing your phone system and the maintenance cost of your phone system is much lower as you don’t need to hire someone in-house to operate and maintain your PBX.

Eliminate office boundaries – employees can work from anywhere with a virtual office phone system. Ideal for home-workers and salespeople who are constantly on the move.

Boost of corporate image – by using a hosted phone system a small business can still give the impression of being a large organization with a professional phone system.

Scalability – with a virtual phone system, businesses can add or remove lines and extensions as they grow.

Easy to use – since there’s no end-user management involved with a virtual PBX, it’s easier to use than a traditional phone system.

Auto-Attendant (or automated attendant) is a term commonly used in telephony to describe a voice menu system that allows callers to be transferred to an extension without going through a telephone operator or receptionist. The auto-attendant is also known as a digital receptionist.

In an IVR system, callers are given the choice to select options by pressing digits. The press of the digit on the telephone keypad sends a DTMF tone to the company host system which then selects the appropriate action / response according to the digit pressed. IVR systems normally handle and service high volumes of phone calls. With an Interactive Voice Response system, businesses can reduce costs and improve customer’s experience as Interactive Voice Response systems allow callers to get the information required 24 hours a day without the need of costly human agents.

SIP, short for Session Initiation Protocol is an IP telephony signalling protocol used to establish, modify and terminate VoIP telephone calls.

Unified Communications (UC) is defined as the process in which all means of communication, communication devices and media are integrated, allowing users to be in touch with anyone, wherever they are, and in real time.

Fax to Email is widely used by many businesses worldwide as it’s a fantastic way to receive faxes when you’re on the go.

Insightconxs converts the received fax and simply forwards it to your email.
