What is VoIP?
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a cloud-based phone system. VoIP systems are a flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional telephone systems, delivered via a private branch exchange (PBX) located on your business premises.
A VoIP phone uses your existing internet connection to make phone calls without the need for costly on-site hardware.
