If you are feeling puzzled about what changes are happening with the telephone network- relax! We are here to help. BT has announced the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) that has been around for decades will be turned off by 2025.
End of an era
Landline phones will be phased out and will be replaced by digital phones. The PSTN works by connecting calls through copper wires from network to network. With the analogue calls being transferred across copper wires, each call required its exclusive wire to connect a call. With every passing day maintaining the PSTN is becoming difficult. The coming up of newer technologies like VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems has led to the PSTN seeming obsolete and unsustainable.
What does this mean for your small business?
The transition from your landline to a VoIP phone may seem like a headache, but trust me, it is not!
The switching off of PSTN is happening soon. So, it is better to make the transition at the earliest to future proof your business. The VoIP phone system transfers voice conversations over the internet rather than through cable wires. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a smartphone or laptop and you are good to go for a VoIP phone. As compared to a traditional PSTN phone, a VoIP phone is inexpensive, easy to set up and has truckloads of remarkable features.
Installing a VoIP phone for your small business means clearer calls, no downtime and cost savings. VoIP eliminates the need to install a separate device whenever you want to add a user. The freedom to access your business number and answer calls from anywhere make the VoIP phone the best phone system for a small business owner.
Why choose VoIP?
The VoIP phone will no longer be an option for businesses but rather become a necessity. Remember, it's not just a phone but an all-inclusive deal. In addition to voice calls, it offers HD video calls, call conferencing, voicemail to email, call recording, business and holiday hours setup, and call queues, all on one device. Striking the right chord between personal and professional life becomes more manageable when you are not notified about calls post business hours or during holiday hours.
With less hassle, a noticeable difference can be seen in employee productivity and customer satisfaction after the installation of a VoIP phone.
