Allowing individuals to connect at a moment\u2019s notice, almost anywhere in the world, mobile devices have helped people across the world come a bit closer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These devices have also helped the business world, with every businessperson now connected to every other through their mobile phones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the introduction of the smartphone, the industry underwent another revolution. No longer were mobile devices only capable of calling other devices, but they allowed for new mediums of communication\u2014text, email, video, and social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Internet was in the palm of the hands of everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fast progress shunned people away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/voip-vs-landline\/\"><strong>traditional telephone system<\/strong><\/a>. Take a peek around your house. Do you still own a landline? If you do, when was the last time you used it to make a call?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same has become the story for businesses as well. With an email machine right in the hands of businesspersons, the utility of a phone system seems outdated. However, from a business perspective, phone systems are still highly beneficial to standard operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us look at why:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2>New age systems are cost-effective<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When mobile phones were introduced, businesses were taken in by their features and ease of access. Shortly thereafter, they began to see a negligible difference in the costs of a phone system and a mobile device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, industries began to lobby for mobile phones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/voip-phone-service\/\"><strong>VoIP systems<\/strong><\/a> offer services for a fraction of the cost of legacy phone systems. Travelling across the Internet, VoIP has often been dubbed as the \u201cfuture of communications\u201d by leading industry experts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2>Built with specific features for specific functions<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While smartphones offer a wide range of features to an individual user, businesses have different requirements from their communication devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/cloud-phone-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cloud-based phone systems<\/a><\/strong> now offer features specifically tailored to businesses of all sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you a small business and need an auto-attendant to receive calling customers? Thinking of expanding your business to other locations while retaining the same number?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or are you an enterprise aiming to reduce costs by experimenting with automated communications?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New-age Voip phone systems offer features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/what-is-ivr-number\/\">IVR number<\/a>, detailed analytics, and multi-channel solutions to cater to all these and many more requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2>VoIP phone systems ensure high-end security<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every business demands security on all fronts, especially communications. Steve Jobs had famously called the iPhone project \u2018Purple\u2019 to prevent leaks. It wouldn\u2019t be farfetched to say organisations are paranoid about breaches in their communication systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With widespread movements against phone giants like Apple over privacy concerns, a <strong><a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/business-phone-system-complete-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business phone system<\/a><\/strong> is built for trust and security. Taking advantage of the cloud, service providers offer guaranteed protection to all your communications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just that, they carry out regular security and patch upgrades to ensure Business phone systems remain immune to the threats of data theft and system breach events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some standard security measures that organisations can rely on include end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, role-based authorisation, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2>VoIP phone systems are now mobile!<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main concern with traditional systems was their inflexibility. Office floors were covered in seemingly never-ending wires, and yet working away from the desk was unimaginable\u2014keeping employees confined to their office premises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who had field jobs struggled too, owing to the lack of a portable communication system. All these factors led to a rise in the popularity of mobile devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, modern business phone systems are now accessible on the go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the cloud, businesses can now access their phone system portals on smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops from anywhere in the world. All they need is an Internet connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Summing up<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world has truly gone mobile. The good news is that so have VoIP phone systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, replacing one with the other is not ideal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the adage, \u201cYou should always keep your personal and professional life separate\u201d, so should you keep your personal and VoIP phone system separate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, with specialised business features on modern-day VoIP-based phone systems, smartphones are losing the race for business communication dominance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of communications has come a long way since Alexander Graham Bell whispered \u201chello\u201d into his first telephone prototype.\u00a0 Today, everyone has a mobile device in their hands, so much so that the total number of cellular mobile phones has surpassed the Earth\u2019s total population.\u00a0 No doubt, mobile technology has revolutionised the cloud communications [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":26248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[145,139],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phone-system","8":"category-voip-phone-service"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5655"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25969,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5655\/revisions\/25969"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
