Why should you go VoIP? Because it's awesome.
If we are to make it real simple, VoIP is the delivery of voice communications (phone calls) and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. What does that mean? Basically, VoIP is a way of using your internet connection to make phone calls - the great thing here is that there are large savings to be made!
Switching your business away from a traditional telephone system or what the Analogue folks call (PSTN or ISDN) there are great advantages to moving to vtalk and VoIP. The first and most obvious is the savings you will make on both line rental and call charges. vtalk is carrier agnostic meaning you can choose the VoIP/SIP provider that suits you and your business. Moving away from PSTN/ISDN will save your business generally 60% on line rental per month and 40% on call costs, depending on your carrier and package*
What is SIP? SIP Trunking is a business grade voice solution that ensures only the necessary amount of simultaneous calls can be made or received for your business, which eliminates those rental costs on unused copper lines (PSTN/ISDN). You’ll save even more with all your day-to-day business calls being charged at much cheaper VOIP rates.
The National Broadband Network (NBN) now in its rollout phase internet services are becoming faster & more reliable. In fact vtalk is the business test platform Internode are using for their first NBN VoIP calls!
With broadband now reaching more locations Australia wide businesses are able to take advantage of this infrastructure at a relatively low cost. For a growing number of vtalk customers, a Naked ADSL 2+ Business connection can suffice for an office of up to 10 people.This means that there is no need to pay line rental, just your ADSL 2+ data charges and your SIP service.

Who does the vtalk suit: If your a business with under 100 staff looking for a simple to use, flexible telephone system then thats a great start. We find that the sweet spot is an Australian based small business with between 5 & 25 staff. It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, from what we hear day to day here are a couple of things our customers have in common. under 25 users, offices in more than one location, staff who work from home (teleworkers), mobile staff who are constantly out on the road & need the flexibility to grow and have a platform that is flexible as their needs change.
