What kind of Small Business Phone System is right for you?

There is no 'one size fits all' phone system for small companies. One small business could have extremely different telecoms needs to another, so you require to consider how you will be utilizing your phone system. Once you recognise your small business needs, you can find a phone system to meet them. For that reason, it is important that you as the customer are aware of the kinds of phone systems readily available and what they can do for your service.

There are two kinds of small company phone system services readily available to you:

Hybrid IP PBX System

A Hybrid phone system uses traditional digital or IP handsets with the most recent IP innovation; enabling you to make the most of VoIP and SIP. Like standard phone systems, the "brains" of a Hybrid Phone System are located in a box in your workplace, and all the handsets link back to this box.

Hybrid Phone Systems work over both the conventional copper phone network or the internet. This suggests whether or not you have enough bandwidth to make the most of VoIP & SIP innovation today, Hybrid Systems are 100% NBN prepared. Hybrid Phone Systems likewise enable you to add features and users as required.

Another terrific feature of the Hybrid IP system is the ease of use for home/remote users. A Hybrid IP handset can be plugged into the web at a 2nd place, and will automatically link back to the head office phone system. This permits seamless interaction, with the remote user able to work as if they remained in the workplace. The Hybrid system likewise has a cell phone app (similar to Skype/Whatsapp) that connects you to the office from your individual smart phone, any place you are.

SpringCom Hosted System

A SpringCom hosted system, likewise referred to as a Cloud PBX phone system is an IP phone system where all the telephone call are used the web. Good bandwidth was typically something just big companies could access, however the NBN rollout has actually opened many chances for our consumers, especially when it concerns small business phone systems.

The "brains" of a SpringCom hosted phone system reside in the cloud, so each handset only needs to be connected to the internet to be part of the phone system. Hosted phone systems are function loaded, and whether you have 1 handset or 1000, you get precisely the same features. A lot of our small business clients have found them to be really cost effective solutions because they reference do not need much, if any upfront investment in hardware.

A excellent function of a hosted system is that as long as an web connection is available the area of the handsets is not important. Remote and home users can call from anywhere, using the exact same phone number as though they remained in the main office.

How will the NBN affect my Small Business Phone System?

NBN voice is the procedure of running VoIP over an NBN web connection. VoIP has been around nearly a years, and it runs calls over the internet, just like Skype. To utilise NBN voice you can either utilize a Hybrid PBX, using SIP trunking or a cloud based phone system, which uses cloud innovation to make VoIP calls. VoIP calls can run on NBN and other Fiber connections, and in some cases over ADSL for a little office.

The big modification with the move to the NBN for little office phone systems is that you will only require a single web connection to make and get calls. All of your interactions, consisting of phone calls, will run over the web ( through VoIP and SIP) instead of analogue copper phone lines.

Lots of consumers have actually been informed that they will be needed to completely upgrade and revamp their existing analogue phone systems. This is not true. NBN voice can work on older style phone systems - you simply require to buy an analogue telephone adapter (ATA) to enable this. The ATA adapter sits in between the old phone system and the brand-new NBN internet connection, transforming the data so that your organization can run NBN voice.

Speak to our friendly specialists if you have any concerns about how the NBN will impact your small company phone system.

Just how much are Phone Systems?

The cost of a small business phone system truly depends upon the type of system, brand and the number of handsets. With Infiniti you can purchase outright, rent or lease. If you're getting a Hybrid service then a 4 handset system might start as low as $20-30 each week depending on the brand name.

This expense would consist of installation, setup and user training. An 8 handset system may cost $30-40 each week. So twice the size doesn't equate to twice the cost. Alternatively, hosted solutions can be a lot more affordable as there is no costly physical phone system to buy and can start from just $15 each month.

What kind of phone lines should I have?

There is nobody finest phone line for every single person. Although many consumers talk about VoIP and SIP as a way to save cash, the situation differs from workplace to office. The money conserving aspect of VoIP actually depends upon how many phone lines you have and the type of telephone call you generally make. With a Hybrid system, you can have a mix of copper and VoIP lines. With a Cloud PBX system, all your calls run over the internet so you just require an web connection to make VoIP calls.

If the NBN is available in your area, then transferring to a Cloud Based PBX and utilizing VoIP to make your calls is the way foward for your service. If the NBN is not offered a Hybrid option utilizing traditional copper phone lines might be the best alternative for now, and you can easily migrate to the NBN when it rolls out in your location.

How many phone lines should my small business have?

The variety of phone lines that your small business needs will differ. Think about how many concurrent phone calls you wish to have the ability to make/receive.

For small businesses where everyone isn't on the phone at the same time, then we typically follow a guide of 3 to one - three handsets, one line, six handsets, two lines, and so on. For small companies which require to make a great deal of calls concurrently, such as property agents, then each user needs their own line.

If your small company has a lot of inbound call traffic then we recommend getting more phone lines than handsets. Unlike a typical house phone that uses Telstra's call waiting service, small business phone systems do not have this function as requirement. Envision that you have two personnel and just 2 phone lines. Now, if both personnel are presently making/receiving calls and another call comes through, the call is going to get through to an engaged tone. If you have three lines, the call will go through to the voicemail on the other line. By having a minimum of 2 lines you have the capability to not miss out on a call.

With standard copper phone lines each line offers you the ability to make/receive another call. With a VoIP/SIP Hybrid or Hosted Phone System all your calls will run through a single web connection making it hard to comprehend what constitutes a phone line. Put simply, each phone line in your phone system is a SIP license, and to get more phone lines you simply require to add more SIP licenses to the phone system. These licenses enable you, the consumer, to have concurrent VoIP calls.

Should I have IP phone handsets or digital ones?

The primary distinction between a digital and IP handset is that a digital handset is a fraction more affordable than an IP handset. Both handsets have similar functions, with IP handsets offering a little extra functionality.

Once again, the ideal phone for you depends upon your organization needs. If you have a number of individuals working from another location, or personnel tend to move the handsets around the workplace, then IP handsets are right for you, as they instantly re-register back into the system when plugged in. With digital handsets, the handset sockets and places need to be programmed into the system by a specialist.

As traditional desk phones there are likewise cordless phones, however, if they were not created specifically for your phone system then they will have really minimal performance, which is not perfect for organization! However there is another solution - soft phone apps. A soft phone app is an app comparable to Skype that can be installed on your computer. Soft phone apps have all the performance of premium handsets without the need for hardware.

With all of these alternatives getting the right handsets for your small company phone system can be confusing so give us a call to discuss your requirements!
