]]> Comment on How to use your phone system to grow your business by Terry Stringer http://phoneworx.com/how-to-use-your-phone-system-to-grow-your-business/#comment-27 Terry Stringer Tue, 19 Jul 2011 12:49:25 +0000 http://phoneworx.com/how-to-use-your-phone-system-to-grow-your-business/#comment-27 I think music-on-hold is a must because it supports and helps to build brands. Auto-attendants on the other hand CAN get out of hand. I thinks it's always good to actually speak to your customers. An auto-attendant is great for greetings but then, talk to your customers! Don't rely on a machine to build relationships. I think music-on-hold is a must because it supports and helps to build brands. Auto-attendants on the other hand CAN get out of hand.

I totally agree that having professional greetings via auto-attendant and music-on-hold is very beneficial for business. But I have to ask: do you think that there is also a risk of over-relying/misusing these features? Hi, Terry!

]]> Comment on Phones 101: So what exactly is VoIP Anyway?? by Phone System http://phoneworx.com/phones-101-so-what-exactly-is-voip-anyway/#comment-25 Phone System Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:59:26 +0000 http://phoneworx.com/phones-101-so-what-exactly-is-voip-anyway/#comment-25 Megan, I totally laughed when you said "what?" at that definition of VoIP, because I agree that it is totally incomprehensible to an ordinary person. Your explanation of VoIP and its benefits is definitely more effective. More power to you guys!

At Phoneworx, the options we provide (Allworx and certain Cisco products) do include these features. However, there are systems out there that may not. As a result, these other systems may require extra costs to "add on" certain features which may not be built-in to one particular business phone system versus another. I hope that helps to provide some additional clarification. Hello again,

The business phone systems that we provide to clients include a phone server. By having the business telephone server right in a company's office, they have control over the entire system and there are no residual fees unless they chose to add on additional phones or needed to place and in depth service call (if they chose not to make the changes themselves). The VoIP providers you are speaking of likely provide a "Hosted Solution" for clients. One example is <a href="http://www.onsip.com/pricing-signup" rel="nofollow">OnSIP</a>. With a hosted solution, the server is housed/managed by an outside party, rather than the business itself, leading to additional fees. If you'd like to know more about owning a business phone system vs. utilizing a hosted solution, I encourage you to read our Blog "<a href="http://phoneworx.com/category/hosted-systems/" rel="nofollow">The dirty lowdown of hosted phone systems</a>." Obviously, we don't believe this is the best choice for businesses due to the long term costs, but some individuals do choose to go this route. Good question.

Thank you for clarifying that point; it's much appreciated. :) I'm excited to see how a full-on VoIP business world would work in the future. Ah, so it’s not WHO uses it, but HOW one uses it!
