The Death of the Landline: Why VOIP is the New Standard
If your business phone is plugged into a wall socket, you are tethered to the past. The copper landline network is being shut down globally, but that's not the only reason to switch. Digital Voice (VOIP) isn't just a replacement; it's an upgrade.
What is VOIP?
Voice Over IP means your calls travel over the internet, not a wire. This liberates your number from a physical location. You can answer your business line on your mobile, your laptop, or let an AI answer it in the cloud.
The "Smart Phone" Advantage
Switching to a Seglo digital line gives you superpowers:
- Caller ID Lookup: The system identifies the client before you pick up.
- Call Recording: Automatically record and transcribe calls for training and dispute resolution.
- Analytics: Know exactly when your peak call times are so you can staff appropriately.
Porting is Easy
As we covered in our Porting Guide, you keep your number. You just cut the cord.
Key Takeaways
- Go mobile: Take your business line anywhere.
- Get data: Understand your call volume and patterns.
- Future-proof: The landline network is dying; don't get left behind.
