Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems are cheaper and more efficient than regular phones, and businesses are quickly adopting it. However, transitioning without a plan can cause a range of issues that can catch business owners by surprise.

When it comes to saving money for small businesses, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is one solution that is all the rage. But not all VoIP systems are built the same. So when you’re ready to install this new technology for your business, here are some common VoIP pitfalls to be aware of.

When considering a VoIP solution, many small business owners have a lot of reservations. What if the call quality is unsuitable? What if your staff struggles with the technology? What if you have to deal with the headache of installing an additional network? All these assumptions can prevent business owners from giving VoIP a try, but are they legitimate? Absolutely not.

When a technology is released on the market that promises to cut the expense of your old technology in half, it certainly can raise some eyebrows. We all know, when a deal sounds too good to be true it usually is. So when it comes to VoIP, and its wild claims of radically reducing phone costs, what’s the catch? For many business owners who jumped into a VoIP system without a plan or chose the wrong service provider, there can be a big one.
