Company employees just need a calling device with a stable internet connection. This makes for a lot more efficient (and cost-effective) data sending over the internet.īut behind all this complicated technology, what businesses need to know is that a virtual phone is as reliable as an analog one but a lot more flexible. This means that instead of being sent all the time both ways, as over a traditional wire landline, the data is just sent when needed. Unlike the analog telephone service, VoIP also uses so-called 'packet switching' for data.
Via the telephone system provider, this digital signal is sent over the internet and received by the person you’re calling. Briefly, a VoIP system uses a digital signal instead of an analog audio signal. The technology behind a virtual phone service (also called VoIP for ‘Voice over IP’) is centered around the digital capabilities brought along with the internet.
