Benefits of Mobile VOIP

It seems that nobody ever goes anywhere anymore without their mobile phone.  Whether at work or play the mobile phone seems to be an extension of who we are.  One of the characteristics our colleagues and friends will use to describe us is by the type of mobile  phone we have – perhaps we are an iPhone user or android user.  We use our smart phones for a multitude of purposes -- to place and receive phone calls, read and answer email, check our Facebook status and send and receive text messages.

Up until now our cell phone and work desk phone have been separate – with each serving a unique and distinct purpose.  Our cell phone was for personal use – and when it was used for work purposes, minutes were needlessly eaten up from our personal mobile plan.   Our work phone (desk phone), on the other hand, was for, well, work.  Up until now, the work phone was the only phone capable of displaying the company ID when making outbound calls.  The work phone also was the only phone capable of extension-to-extension dialing.

Technology is quickly changing, however.  Evolving technology has allowed mobile to become fully integrated into an organization's business phone system.  With Mobile VOIP there are no longer limitations on our mobile phones such as not being able to display company ID on outbound calls or not being able to perform extension-to-extension dialing.

With  summer just around the corner – and vacation plans plentiful – we wanted to highlight the advantages of a mobile VOIP solution.  Mobile VOIP allows one to stay connected everywhere – even when you are nowhere near your desk phone.

Mobile VoIP Features and Benefits

Specific features one gets with a mobile VOIP solution can vary.  It depends to a large degree on the SIP Client or mobile phone used.  Having said that, however, the following are typical benefits received from a mobile VOIP solution:

• Make and receive calls without depleting your mobile minutes
• Display your company ID when making outbound calls
• Make and receive calls over Wi-Fi and your 3G or 4G Network
• Extension-to-extension dialing

As you can tell, mobile VOIP is a great solution for executives and team members who are traveling for business, meeting with clients or even those taking advantage of a nice, summer day.  With mobile VOIP you will no longer be out of the loop to take care of your important business.
