Many businesses have shifted to remote work. Even with your employees working from home, they still need to have a reliable way of communicating with customers and fellow employees. VoIP Business Phone Systems are one of the most popular telecommunications options for the office. Can you still use it at home? Fortunately, most VoIP systems are cloud-based, which means they can be used anywhere.
Remote Working
With VoIP, you can bring home your desk phone as long as it is tied to your office’s VoIP based system. This is extremely advantageous because you can still use all of your VoIP based features when working from home. For example, you can use call recording, call routing, and advanced voicemail features without being in the office. Best of all, you can still use your business number.
Softphone
Another way to use VoIP when working from home is through a softphone. This is a way to make and receive calls through your computer, smartphone, or tablet. This way you don’t have to bring your desk phone home with you. Instead, you simply install the softphone application on the device of your choosing. Softphones are great because they still offer all of the same features you are used to. You can also still use your business number.
WiFi
When working from home with VoIP, you will require an internet connection. Fortunately, most homes have WiFi connections. When working from home with VoIP, all you have to do is hook up your system to the WiFi connection. When doing this though, you have to keep in mind that your connection is likely not as powerful as the one you use in the office. Fortuitously, VoIP is adaptable; VoIP encryptions are built not to leak unwanted data between routers.
