We see a lot of myths floating around about VoIP systems, and whilst they’re not true, they unfortunately cause concern and can put businesses off using a system that would be beneficial to their business. To help you separate VoIP fact from fiction, we’ve busted the top three myths about VoIP!

Myth number 1: VoIP is hard to install

Just because VoIP is new technology, it doesn’t mean that it is difficult to set up or integrate into your business. In fact, it’s the opposite! It is fairly quick to install and easy to use, plus if you choose a hosted system, your provider will handle installation and set-up, giving you one less thing to worry about. At Equations, we’re here to hold your hand every step of the way and can provide you with all the best suggestions from choosing a system, to getting it set up, to using it.

Myth number 2: VoIP is expensive

VoIP comes with so many benefits that many automatically assume it will be expensive, however the opposite is true! VoIP phone systems are cheaper than conventional telephone systems because they are software-based, and don’t require expensive hardware. Plus, it’s an easily scalable system so if your business needs change a VoIP system is flexible enough to easily meet them.

Myth number 3: VoIP is not secure

Whilst there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect system, as long as your internal network protocol is secure, then your phone system can be too. If you’re using a recognised VoIP network the risk of falling victim to hacking or cybercrime is small. Additionally, there are a number of ways you can make your phone system even more secure.
