Buying A Used Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) System

By Kirby Whitehall

Since the advent of the internet, new and exciting ways to conduct business have been cropping up all over the place. The burgeoning technology of modern business is ever growing and it's important to keep up with the latest technologies. VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol is one of the biggest advances to hit, as of late. Perhaps it's time for you and your business to purchase a VoIP system and all the perks that come with it.

VoIP has been evolving over the past 15 years or so. It wasn't until about 2004, however, that it began to see wide use in the business world. VoIP allows you to use the internet to make calls, saving tons of money. VoIP is also hailed for freeing people up to work remotely from home and with a hybrid system you can get the reliability of traditional systems with the benefits of VoIP.

VoIP hybrid systems operate both over the internet and though traditional methods. This adds extra security, because if your internet crashes you can still use your phones. Hybrid systems are widely popular for this very reason, sometimes you just can't afford to totally lose the use of your phone system, something that could happen with a strictly VoIP system. The simple and easy solution is to listen to all the businesses satisfied with VoIP hybrid systems and make the switch yourself.

Oh, VoIP can be so expensive to purchase, though, you may say. True enough, but what if you could get a second hand system? Used VoIP systems offer everything a new VoIP system offers but at a lower price. As with buying anything used, though, it's very important to choose a company that offers a great safety net. While used VoIP systems are in great shape if they're being resold, sometimes accident happen. I would advise finding somebody offering a great warranty on used VoIP systems, nobody wants the hassle of having to spend the money on another system if something happens to your used VoIP system, with a steady warranty you'll be safe and secure.

One of the most popular VoIP compatible systems for small businesses is the Alcatel OmniPCX. Offering some of the most technologically advanced features at a very affordable price, it's no wonder this system is so ell received. Alcatel offers great freebies like free voicemail and day/night greetings because they understand how difficult running a small business can be sometimes. The freebies coupled with a VoIP PBX hybrid network means phenomenal savings passed on to you.

Another awesome VoIP compatible system for small businesses is the Avaya IP500 system. Hailed as the number one phone system in the world, Avaya has certainly earned this prestigious honor. With a great combination of features, warranty and amazing quality, you'd be remiss to find a better phone system anywhere. The VoIP compatible Avaya IP500 is a great system perfect for the small business owner who wants more bang for their buck.

The final system we'll look at today is the Samsung Officeserv 7100 phone system. Coveted by many for its simplicity, this system still comes packed with wonderful features including free voicemail, free day and night greetings and, of course, VoIP compatibility. This system is one of the most customizable systems I've yet to see though it remains user friendly, no matter what. For the small business owner who needs simplicity and affordability, the Officeserv 7100 is the best option.

VoIP has proven that it is here to stay. While it will continue to change and evolve, it's already reached a stage where the benefits of getting a VoIP system far outweigh any reservations you may have. Used VoIP systems help pile on even more savings and in today's economy saving money is the name of the game. With some great warranties out there and plenty of systems to choose from, I suggest switching to a used VoIP system right away.
