Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows people to make voice calls using an Internet connection instead of a traditional analogue phone line.
VoIP allows users to make phone calls using computers, smartphones, or dedicated VoIP devices. It offers cost-effective, flexible, and scalable communication solutions, making it popular for personal and business use.
Cloud-Based Telephony (VoIP)
Analogue phone lines are being switched off across the UK in 2025 and VoIP services continue to be a smart choice for businesses.
Other VoIP services benefits include a significant reduction in the cost of voice calls, especially for long-distance and international calls. As VoIP telephony is cloud-based, users also benefit from scalability, services can scale up or down based on business needs. Adding or removing users and features is straightforward to accommodate business growth or downsizing.
