Switching from PSTN to VoIP by 2025
Dear UK Businesses, the world of telecommunications is changing rapidly, and it’s important for you to stay informed. We are witnessing a shift from the traditional phone network (PSTN) to a more modern system called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
As a leading telecommunications provider in the northwest UK, we want to guide you through this transition. In this blog, we’ll explain why this shift is happening, highlight the benefits of VoIP for your business, and address the challenges you may encounter during the switch in 2025.
Understanding the Change: Why Switch to VoIP?
PSTN, which has been around for a long time, is an older analog system that doesn’t meet today’s digital needs. VoIP, on the other hand, uses the internet to transmit calls, making it more efficient and flexible. It eliminates the need for separate phone lines and can be easily integrated with other communication services.
Benefits of VoIP: Improving Business Telephony
a. Cost Savings: VoIP can help you save money on communication expenses, especially for long-distance and international calls, as it uses existing internet infrastructure.
b. Flexibility and Scalability: VoIP is highly flexible and can adapt to your changing communication needs. It’s easy to add or remove phone lines, making it perfect for businesses that grow or have fluctuating communication requirements.
c. Enhanced Features and Integration: VoIP offers advanced features like call forwarding, voicemail transcription, video conferencing, and unified communications. It can also integrate with other applications and systems, such as CRM platforms, to streamline your communication workflows.
d. Mobility and Remote Work: With VoIP, your employees can make and receive calls from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility is particularly valuable for businesses with remote workers or distributed teams.
