Voice over internet protocol, commonly known as voice over IP or VoIP, is another popular service offered by the experts at F8 Tech. VoIP enables voice communications and multimedia sessions to be delivered over IP networks; in other words, VoIP brings your phone system into the modern age!
F8 Tech can provide you with the perfect VoIP setup to meet your needs, along with ongoing tech support to keep your new VoIP system running smoothly for the long term.
Out with the Old, in with the New
In the old days, a business would install an on-premise telephone system and then pay for phone service through their local telephone company, paying added fees for long distance service and for multiple in-house lines or extensions, depending on the number of employees and the needs of the business. If the business expanded and opened new branches, each new branch would get its own on-premise phone system, with a new telephone service again being purchased through the local phone company and all of the associated fees being tacked on. The more a company expanded and the more branches were added, the more telephone costs grew.
Today, thanks to VoIP, that phone system disparity between branches of a company has been eliminated. Now, one phone system can be implemented company-wide for one monthly cost!
One Company, One Phone System
F8 Tech specializes in hosted VoIP, which enables internet-based phone service that is hosted in a secure environment. Now, a client can have one centralized phone system for their entire business, regardless of how many branches their company has spread out over a geographical distance. If John at the Houston branch wants to talk to Sally at the Temple branch, for instance, all he has to do is dial her extension—no need to place an external call.
VoIP options available through F8 Tech offer unlimited, 24/7 phone service at one monthly cost—no more paying for additional phone lines, additional extensions, additional locations or long-distance service. Phone-related expenses are lowered significantly while uptime is increased. Additionally, on F8’s managed care platform, F8 Tech takes care of all maintenance related to your VoIP system, including transferring phone lines when employees move to a new office or new branch. If an employee is relocating to a new office or branch, F8 Tech will move their phone line and other IT so all they have to do is sit down, log in and get to work.
F8 Tech can also port over existing phone numbers, further reducing any inconvenience that could be associated with upgrading one’s phone system. F8 offers VoIP options to meet each individual client’s needs and can get creative with call routing as a client needs it, setting up specialized routing for different departments within a company or whatever the customer requires.
In addition to reducing costs and increasing efficiency and uptime, VoIP systems can help eliminate issues with phone outages. If the internet or power goes down at one branch of a company, for instance, calls are automatically routed to another branch so the business isn’t cut off from its customers during the outage.
F8 additionally offers e-fax service, which is very popular among our clients. E-fax is email-linked, and, in most cases, existing fax numbers can be ported over.
Satisfied Client
An example of VoIP to the rescue occurred with a dental office client of ours. A nearby explosion knocked out the dental office’s phone system, and the high cost to replace the in-house phone system wasn’t justifiable. So, F8 Tech was able to set them up on a VoIP system that costed less than they had previously been paying for their phone bill alone!
Now, the dental office has unlimited phone service—no more paying for multiple phone lines or long distance costs. The main VoIP provider we partner with also offers free telephones on a three-year contract, so we were able to get free phones for the dental office as part of the package.
