Many ways of communicating each other have been a convenience due to the developing technology that we have. The tendency for this is that it would only grow further and be better. For businesses and also residential owners, they have been utilizing this technology for their varied daily needs and for them to be able to cut expenses.

These residences and businesses can try many options to cut their expenses on some utilities especially for communication. Phone systems Dallas has a lot of advantages but also some disadvantages depending on the scale of use they are. So this is highly dependent on how the owner wants to use this utility.

VoIP has been one of the leading alternatives for making calls. This stands for Voice over Internet Protocol which means that the communication between two or a number of parties is done over the internet. This medium is entirely different from the traditional landline and mobile phones.

There are some software or programs that are made for residential uses where they can have video and audio chats which is still considered a VoIP as long as there is the right speed and the equipment like a microphone and headset or speakers. But in a larger scale for business purposes, it would not be that efficient. That is why there are providers for VoIP in different telecommunications that can give this for commercial use.

For starters, telephone systems have a PBX or a Private Branch Exchange which automatically directs various calls to their destinations, therefore it is called an automatic switchboard system. So basically, if any telephone system that runs in this manner is called a PBX. A lot of businesses moved this kind due to prevent the hassle of installing a number of direct lines for each employee, since this can do multiple connections in one line.

With VoIP it has the ability to switch between two lines from the Public Switched Telephone Network to the PBX. The PSTN is a collection of many other telephone companies that are operating lines such as fiber optics, cellular, regular lines, satellites, and even undersea cables. This is one of the advantages of VoIP.

There is a certain difference between regular PBX lines and with the VoIP. Basically, VoIP is a kind of PBX, but it can deliver more advantages that the PBX is limited to. It uses the internet instead of TDM or Time Division Multiplexing which is used by PBX. A provider may also give this and it is the same for PSTN, too.

Businesses have widely spread the use for this kind of technology because of how flexible it is and how easy it can be integrated and included in other types of systems in their establishments. This makes it easy for them to make necessary changes or developments to improve their systems. This makes the expenses for these changes and developments to cost lesser and to increase productivity as well.

Basic features of this would include Auto Attendant, Direct Dialing, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call transfers, Call Forwards, Three way calling, Call park, Call pickup, Voicemail, Conference calling, Remote or Virtual Extensions, web based management, and application integration. It can also queue calls, record and monitor, and initialize reports. More features would only add up to the existing ones since these are just the basics. So being able to have this integrated in your business would deliver various benefits and cost effectivity.
