So as you guys might have already known, I am making a phone system. Currently, I have connected my desk phone to it. Most of the cousins are connected but I am still working on getting Angel connected. Every extension or phone number in the system has it’s own voicemail. That is pretty cool since you can send voicemails. I am also thinking of adding a Yealink T19 E2 IP Phone to the system so I can lend it to one of my cousins that need it to use the system (such as cousins that don’t have a mobile device). As of now when I have it, I will just use it as a downstairs phone. Now, I will be telling you why a VoIP Phone System is good for a small household or a family-run business. VoIP allows multiple calls, including conference and group calls, which is an important advantage to many businesses. This makes it easier for employees, management, and business associates to collaborate with each other and to communicate with clients. It’s also faster for clients to connect with customer support. Look, you might be thinking: “How is a VoIP system good? I’ve seen it cost hundreds of dollars!” Well, you are right. Let’s take my dad’s company, CMG, for an example. Their office uses Cisco IP Phones. A brand new Cisco IP phone would cost around $130 USD. That’s a lot to start with only one phone. Also, Cisco phones cannot use 3RD Party Call Management systems, such as 3CX which allows for VoIP Phones to work. Instead, you need to buy 3PCC compatible Cisco phones, which are NOT cheap. So, what do you do now? Well, other great VoIP Phone brands that support 3PCC are: Yealink (which is what I use), Fanvil, Polycom, Toshiba (not recommended and old), etc. I got my Yealink phone for only $69 dollars! I’ve even seen IP Phones listed as $29 dollars brand new! So consider getting one, it might be harder to set up, but it’s worth it for a business.
