VoIP phone
So, more on the stress portion of consolidated technology systems. I often think about all the cell phones that are coming to market now. Before, my first phone was just a Nokia, a very simple one. Just a certain range of ring tones, some images, a phone book, calculator, alarm clock, and that's it. Now, all the mobile phones have mp3 players in them, fancy internet access programs, etc, etc, etc. I honestly do not like that. To me, I feel that I am actually using a cell phone when it looks and functions like a cell phone only, nothing else. Ok, it might have some advanced graphics and polytone ring tones…that sounds and looks better, I admit, but no fancy gadgets embedded into it. However, when it comes to the pbx phone systems, I actually feel that I like them, as opposed to having a phone and a computer separately. I mean, even if I were to get the softphone, I would still not give up my cell phone, just because I obviously do not want to carry the computer around with me all the time to be able to communicate with someone. But, at home, especially when making long-distance calls, I think that benefits of IP telephony are great! VoIP systems are reliable, secure and easy to use. One of the major benefits of these business telephone systems for me is the highest quality of voice over IP, so that I can actually feel that I am kind of in the same room with the person with whom I am speaking. I have heard that the VoIP security is unsurpassable and a lot of customers have actually switched to Unified communications, one of the IP telephony providers, just because of the supreme quality of calls. So, in my opinion, it definitely depends whether or not someone would want to switch to these business phone systems, or just stay with what he or she already has. I guess that consolidating the landline with the computer is more efficient than consolidating a cell phone with the computer…unless it's already a phone that combines a computer and telephony in it.
