Apart from rather rigid call rates, you will need to invest in phones and cables, and if you have to run a large call center, the hardware requirements increase. With a VoIP system, most of the crucial technology is software based so you need less gear. Always choose the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewvoip.com\/customer-support\/which-is-better-phone-support-or-live-chat\/\">best VoIP company<\/a> that caters to your business segment so you always enjoy prompt and quality support.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VoIP_is_Scalable\"><\/span>VoIP is Scalable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As businesses get larger, the communications also increase.

Since most of the elements are software based, the expansion would comprise of additional call agent login IDs, installation of a tool and some minor hardware investment like a headset. You can handle the scaling up (or down) yourself. With traditional telephony, adding a phone slot would mean calling the phone company and getting a major installation done.<\/p>\n<p>With most businesses being conducted over the internet, geography is not a limitation anymore. You can have an office in New York while servicing customers in Omaha. However, your telephony also needs to reflect that. With VoIP, you can buy virtual numbers that reflect different area codes so your customers have a local number to reach you. This would encourage more calls coming in and help your business grow while also giving you points in customer service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_more_Features\"><\/span>Some more Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>VoIP allows you a fair bit of customization.
