FEW THINGS TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER GETTING VOIP PHONES • Determine Your Needs: Before finalizing your decision, be sure to have an idea about your unique needs. You can now find different vendors offering VoIP phones with varying features. You may not need certain features, so you do not have to cough up extra money to get those features. A better understanding of your unique needs will make it much easier to decide which phone system will work best for you. Similarly, you need to pay attention to exactly how many employees will be using the system. You will also have to consider what hardware you already have available in your office. Getting information about your needs will also help you determine whether you need 1000 monthly minutes or you can handle your business needs with fewer minutes.
