VoIP vs. Traditional Phone Systems: What’s the Difference?
Not sure what makes VoIP different from a traditional landline system? Here’s how the tech has evolved and what that means for your business.
Top Features to Look for in a Business VoIP System
Choosing a phone system shouldn’t be overwhelming. Here’s what to look for to get the most value and flexibility from your VoIP setup.
What SIP Trunking Means for Your Business
SIP Trunking gives your business a smarter way to handle calls, reducing costs, improving reliability, and making it easier to scale your phone system as you grow.
Not sure where to start? These are the kinds of questions we hear from business owners every day. Whether you're new to VoIP or just tired of dropped calls and confusing setups, this is your guide.
-
Traditional phone systems rely on physical copper wiring, which is expensive to maintain and actively being phased out by major telecom carriers like AT&T across Louisiana and Mississippi. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) uses your high-speed internet connection to route calls instead.
Switching to VoIP significantly reduces monthly telecom bills while giving your business modern capabilities like automated virtual attendants, voicemail-to-email, call recording, and seamless mobile app integration for staff on the go.
-
Yes. With a properly configured network, VoIP delivers higher reliability and better audio quality than legacy landlines.
For businesses across New Orleans, Metairie, Baton Rouge, and Coastal Mississippi, VoIP also provides crucial disaster resiliency. If a severe storm, power outage, or local fiber cut affects your office, incoming calls automatically reroute to employee cell phones or softphone apps so your clients can always reach you.
-
Small and mid-sized businesses benefit most from auto-attendant receptionists, flexible call routing, ring groups, voicemail-to-email delivery, and mobile smartphone applications.
These tools project a professional enterprise image, ensure customer calls are never missed, and allow staff to transfer calls effortlessly between departments, whether working in the office or in the field.
-
VoIP systems use softphone software and mobile applications that turn laptops, tablets, and smartphones into extension desk phones.
When employees make outbound calls through the business app, clients see your main company office line on caller ID rather than an employee's personal cell phone number. Remote staff can answer office calls, check shared voicemails, and hold conference calls from anywhere with internet access.
-
Hosted cloud VoIP stores phone system software off-site in secure data centers, eliminating bulky equipment closets and reducing upfront capital costs. It is flexible, easy to scale, and maintained remotely by BeneCom.
An on-premise PBX system uses physical server hardware located directly in your facility, which can be ideal for hotels, schools, or industrial sites with specialized extension wiring. BeneCom evaluates your physical layout and budget to install and support whichever architecture fits best.
-
Commercial VoIP replaces unpredictable landline contracts and legacy maintenance fees with a flat, predictable monthly rate per user. Most businesses save between 30% and 50% on their overall monthly telecom expenses after switching.
BeneCom provides transparent line-item pricing with no hidden fees, helping you budget accurately for desk phones, user licenses, and ongoing local technical support.
-
While employees can make calls using computer software or mobile apps, most office teams prefer physical desk phones. BeneCom supplies and installs high-definition IP desk phones, including popular models from Yealink, featuring built-in speakerphones and programmable speed dials.
Before installation, our local technicians perform a site survey to test network bandwidth and power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches, ensuring your network infrastructure is fully optimized for clear voice calls.
-
Yes. BeneCom manages the entire number porting process so you retain all main business numbers, direct extension lines, and toll-free lines.
We schedule the line transfer behind the scenes to guarantee zero phone downtime and zero missed client calls. Our local team sets up your hardware, configures your call routing, and trains your team before the official cutover takes place.
