Chicago (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) May 2, 2006 A VOIP phone system is a real necessity, with gas prices soaring and commutes increasing. The phones can free people to work from home with no loss in productivity and no down time.A VOIP phone system stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and enables any office to become virtual. With high-speed internet access available almost everywhere and VOIP technology, it becomes possible to answer a phone from anywhere. All VOIP phone system features can be accessed from intercom, to dialing out from your system lines and transferring calls. VOIP phones enable transparent communications to and from remote locations.
Some VOIP Phone Systems, like the Avaya IP Office, even allow for Soft Phones that can be loaded onto your PC. With a wireless USB headset you can work from home or go down to your local Starbucks and connect back to the office.VOIP is not the same thing as working from your cell phone. VOIP is working transparently. Customers don't know employees are fielding calls while they are out of the office or work from home.Cutting down on travel even one day a week makes a huge difference in reducing gas costs, cutting travel time and contributing to fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Other advantages are obvious like working more relaxed environments and letting employees telecommute as they work from home.
Imagine working without fighting through endless traffic jams?Other advantages to a VOIP phone system can be real business savers. Take the New York and Denver transit strikes. During the labor disruptions, companies were much less affected when they had VOIP technology. The company phone lines can still be answered remotely and employees can still be productive as they work from home.Now more then ever is the time to implement VOIP in to your business. From adding VOIP to a current phone system to installing a new system with Soft Phones, unified messaging, and the ability to network other locations Telcom & Data can point the way.For more information on integrating a VOIP phone system, contact Thomas Annerino of Telcom & Data, Inc.
He is proof the systems are valuable. He is able to work from home 3-4 days a week and reports that his family loves it and his sense of well being has increased.Contact:Ricardo TrinidadTelcom & Data800-335-0229.

VoIP Providers
In the legacy system, the cost of maintaining the infrastructure is high, forcing call costs, such as long?distance calls, to be high. Hence, the services are dominated by large telecommunications companies like as AT&T. Small companies, such as local exchange carriers, find the cost of installing legacy systems prohibitive. Hence, they are restricted to local geography.
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is an open architecture that can be seamlessly upgraded and can have new best-in-class products easily built-in, unlike legacy systems where the structure is locked with limited chances of upgrading or upgrading at huge costs. As such, major telecom players and small carriers who want to upgrade their services and enter into voice services are deploying VoIP systems and applications.
The VoIP market has, therefore, become highly competitive.
VoIP service is not a stand-alone opportunity. For the end customer, there is just one face to VoIP service,...
