What is VoIP and why should you use it for your business in Kenya?

In a nutshell, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the technology that allows you to make phone calls over the internet. This means that, unlike traditional landlines, you don’t need a public-switched telephone network (PSTN) to make a call—you can make and receive calls from anywhere as long as you have internet. It also works with cloud PBX technology, which helps businesses manage incoming phone calls by routing them to the appropriate person or department. Together, VoIP and cloud PBX form what is known as the modern VoIP phone system, which, unlike traditional on-premise systems, does not require expensive equipment and hardware to install and use.

Beyond cost savings, modern VoIP phone service providers for small businesses have evolved into a complete unified communications system, which means they can combine VoIP’s ability to allow you to make calls from anywhere with cloud PBX’s ability to route incoming calls with other communications and collaboration features such as:

• Video conferencing,
• Business SMS
• Virtual Faxing
• Team Messaging
