Internet Telephony

When a PC is connected via broadband to the internet all day, a very cheap way of making telephone calls is via services like Skype. Not only can voice and video calls be made for free to fellow users. Skype even offers the facility to share the PC's screen, so that software problems, features, diagrams, etc. can be shared between the callers. All at no cost.
So for an SME with a large telephone bill, Internet Telephone is a way to significantly reduce those costs and improve the call experience with video and product demo's etc.

Using VOIP

Still using a standard telephone whilst sitting at your computer?

One of my kids started at Uni. recently and in the Halls of Residence they have internet access and a Freewire telephone.

Freewire is basically a VOIP telephone service that allows calls to be made over the internet free of charge. We've made calls lasting over an hour at absolutely NO cost.

So if you have remote workers or clients/contacts that you call daily, look to installing VOIP at both ends and use you PC's and internet connection to reduce your phone bill.

We have found the sound and transmission quality to be just like a normal phone. No delay and not voice distortion.

So give it a go - what have you got to lose - only a phone bill!
