5 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Hosted VOIP Solutions
Are you tired of paying expensive phone bills for your small business? Or are you running your business independently—or with 15 or less employees and want a reliable and inexpensive phone system that is scalable and allows you and your employees to work while on the go?
In this article I’ll be sharing some information about Hosted VOIP Solutions and how they can benefit your business.
Now that internet services have become more affordable, a growing number of small businesses are ditching old land line systems for newer and more advanced systems like hosted VOIP solutions.
On last year, a survey from Software Advice showed that more than half of small businesses are making an investment in VOIP solutions.
What is a Hosted VOIP Solution?
Hosted VOIP Solutions like RingCentral are phone systems that operate in the cloud. This simply means that the equipment that runs your actual phone system is off-site.

Glad that you asked… I have been using RingCentral– a leader in the hosted VOIP space since 2010 and cannot rave about them enough.
