Give Your Phone the VoIP Treatment

If your business is paying a lot of money for a feature-rich phone service, then you better sit down for this. Imagine a local phone number that followed you anywhere. You call back East to the home office from your hotel in San Francisco, and it's a local call. They call you, same thing. Or imagine getting your phone messages forwarded to your laptop as e-mail attachments. Think of how helpful it would be to archive phone messages and conversations as electronic files on your computer. And consider if this came with great features like call waiting/forwarding, voicemail and three-way calling at no extra charge. Wish your phone could do that? It can with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service available at BestBuy.com or at your local Best Buy store.

We haven't even told you the best part yet: you may be able to get rid of your traditional phone line. You don't need a phone line with VoIP, because the phone connects directly to your high-speed Internet connection. No monthly phone line charges, no local and long-distance packages with changing rates and hidden fees. You pay one monthly price for the VoIP service and receive unlimited calling in the U.S. and Canada. Nothing else changes: you can keep your current phone, your current phone number and everything works just the same as before (rings, dial tones). There's no compromise in sound quality either; it's what you'd expect from wireless phones and traditional phones but without cellular's tendency to drop out during the call.

So how does VoIP work? We're glad you asked. Think of it as two cans tied together with a 'virtual' string. By converting your voice into digital data through a special adapter, VoIP can carry your calls over the Internet. Incoming calls are likewise converted to digital data, which means they can be forwarded to your computer as e-mail attachments. It turns your laptop or PDA into a traveling answering machine that can store messages and entire phone conversations as .WAV files. With VoIP service, you can even take your local number with you because it's stored in the special adapter provided with the service. Just hook up the adapter to a phone and your Internet-connected computer, and you can make local calls from your hotel room without paying any expensive surcharges. The VOIP service also includes plenty of free features that phone companies usually charge a premium for: call waiting/forwarding, voicemail and three-way calling.

So now that you know what VoIP can do, has your phone lost some of its luster? Then give it a new lease on life with the VOIP service available from Best Buy. Our Business Pros will be happy to explain how VoIP can help your small business save money, keep the same number through office changes and eliminate long-distance calls on the road. If you're tired of the same old line from phone companies about changing fees and costly features, check out our complete selection of VoIP products and services or drop by your local Best Buy store and give your home or business the VoIP treatment.
