So, this quarter I’m writing an article about VoIP phone systems for our newsletter — which goes out to almost 7,500 business people that DE has come to know at some point during the past several years. In general, people who are either “in the know” or really want to be. And so, they read our newsletter for information.
Needless to say, writing on a subject you know NOTHING about requires 1) a certain degree of madness, 2) much determination, and 3) somewhat credible resources. For this particular project, I got to spend some quality time with one of consultants, Trevor, a task which met at least two of the aforementioned criteria.
Here’s what I learned in a nutshell:
- The phone that sits on my desk is, in fact, a VoIP phone.
- VoIP phones don’t use regular phone lines because they run off the internet.
- You can hook up a sweet VoIP system for a lot cheaper than traditional phones.
- This is why they’re outselling the old systems by a good margin these days.
- If you want a lot of bells and whistles, VoIP is the way to go.
- It probably won’t be long before the regular phones become obsolete.
Today, I’ll be calling a representative from Dalcon — one of the leaders in VoIP technology to get some more useful information for the article. So far, it’s just a fancy version of what you just read. But I can’t give you everything right now, or else it will ruin the surprise.
That’s all for now.
