  1. Migrating to VoIP Phone Systems for Small Business UK Short Summary Moving your business to a new phone system can seem challenging, but with our checklist, you can make the transition to VoIP a lot easier for you. Businesses are increasingly embracing VoIP phone systems for small business UK as a way to overcome the limitations of landlines, take advantage of low-cost calls, and increase productivity. However, at first, moving can seem like a big task if you're trying to switch to a new and improved corporate phone system. With our handy checklist, you won't have to worry about switching to a VoIP phone system. It doesn't have to be this way. Thing to Know Before Using VoIP Phone Systems for Small Business 1. Determine the VoIP Phone Features Your Company Needs

  2. Each organization will have a variety of requirements, from those that must operate across multiple locations to those that must be able to funnel calls to specific departments at different times. Start by making a list of the requirements your company will require for the telephone system. Don't just think about what you might need during business hours; Also keep in mind that clients may call hours after your office closes. Voicemail to email, conference calling, IVR, on-demand call routing, and other capabilities are provided by the relevant VoIP provider. These VoIP phone system features should work to simplify your daily business operations. 2. Assess Your Phone Requirements Once you've determined which features you require from your phone system, it's time to consider your device's needs. Will VoIP phones be required? If that's the case, you'll need a business VoIP phone service that won't force you to just use their hardware line. When choosing VoIP devices, consider how busy your company is in general because some phones are better suited to handling more lines and busier settings. See our full range of phones at voipexperts.co.uk to get a better understanding of the different styles that are offered. You may need a phone system that supports VoIP applications or smartphones if you are running a multi-location business or promoting remote work for more flexibility. 3. Ensure That Your Network and Bandwidth Can Accommodate the VoIP Phone System VoIP simply needs an upload and download speed of 80 kbps per simultaneous call. That's definitely not a lot of bandwidth. Much less than streaming Netflix, but you may want to wait until your lunch hour for that. If you have a large office with a lot of simultaneous conversations, consider if you have the bandwidth to support them to get high quality connections. You can take a broadband speed test online for peace of mind. 4. Review Previous Phone Bills A quick look at your previous phone bills. You can calculate your monthly usage and expenses using your previous bills. When comparing expenses to VoIP phone systems for small businesses, this will be helpful. Make a note of any additional installation expenses as they may affect the final cost as not all VoIP services charge installation fees. Be sure to include any maintenance costs for your current business phone system. With VoIP, you pay primarily for the service, and therefore installation and maintenance costs should be significantly reduced.

  3. 5. Search the Transfer of Phone Numbers Find out if your phone number can be transferred before switching to a new VoIP phone system. If your company already has a phone number, this will come in handy. Make sure you are aware of portability of your phone numbers beforehand. Find out if there are any additional expenses involved and when the transfer will take place. On our website, you may get a summary of the normal procedures for transferring the number. 6. Check Multiple VoIP Vendors. Before switching to VoIP, be sure to test it. Inquire about the availability of a free VoIP trial and whether it supports more than one trial user. Get a few office mates to sample for the biggest effects. The experience will allow you to test all the features and get a strong sense of the reliability and standard of the service. This is a great opportunity to get to know the system before anyone else. 7. Don't Forget to Onboard Your Workers Employees should discover VoIP functions much in the same way as their current phone system, but they could be surprised by the improvement in call quality and extra services that are available. Staff members may need to be instructed on how to park calls, transfer calls, check voicemails, and, if necessary, configure softphone apps.
