Business phone system FAQs

Is business VoIP cheaper than landlines?

Cloud-based phone systems tend to be 60% less expensive than traditional landlines.

This is especially true for small businesses because many advanced features cost more than the local telephone company. VoIP offers premium features like call queues, hold music, and voicemail transcription at a fraction of the cost.

With RealmConnect’s phone system, business communications will be much easier (with better uptime). In addition, phone calls, text messages, and video conferencing create a better customer experience.

International calling is up to 90% cheaper with business VoIP. You’re in total control, so you can restrict which users or ring groups can dial international phone numbers. Likewise, if you travel globally, you’ll avoid costly toll charges for dialing the U.S.

It also works better than traditional phone lines. It connects through PSTN with its own cloud-based Private Branch Exchange (PBX). Calls are cheaper using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), saving small business owners hundreds of dollars using analog equipment.

Can I keep my existing phone numbers?

Yes, you can use any phone number with RealmConnect. You can move your business phone numbers, including landline, toll-free, cell phone, and VoIP numbers.

This process, known as porting, is free with every account. We’ll guide you through every step to successfully assign numbers to each phone line.

To get a new business phone number, choose one during account setup. RealmConnect accounts also get a toll-free phone number with its VoIP phone system.

Am I charged per user or per line?

Each user who can place or receive calls is considered one line of service. You are charged for the maximum number of users you can create for your account. This means your business phone service grows with you — never pay more than you have to.

Also, some standard taxes and fees apply to each small business VoIP line on an account. For more information or tax details by state, click here.

How many phone lines do I need?

We recommend selecting the number of lines you plan to use within the next year. Offering dedicated lines for your salesforce, customer support, and remote employees is a good idea.

Don’t forget about providing business phone lines for meeting rooms, private offices, and common areas like kitchens.

What does cloud-based VoIP mean?

Cloud-based VoIP provides telephone service through the internet instead of a private branch exchange (PBX) or a traditional phone solution.

VoIP service providers like RealmConnect host and manage the office phone system with advanced functionality like IVR call routing, voicemail to email, and call queues.

The best part is the price. It saves businesses up to 60% off analog desk phones — only a desktop app or mobile phone app is needed.

How does RealmConnect help companies work remotely?

RealmConnect offers a complete platform that enables people to work from home with its cloud-based phone system.

Since 2008, the company has equipped over 100,000 companies of all sizes to grow their workforce in their office and abroad.

Here are some ways RealmConnect’s small business phone system helps people work from anywhere:

Cloud PBX — Manage your company’s telephone system over the internet while keeping your staff connected. RealmConnect’s nationwide unlimited calling lets you call anyone in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
Conference calling — Dial in to connect multiple people over a phone line to participate in a conference call, so you can hold essential meetings even when people are working remotely.
Video conferencing — There is no need to travel when you can connect face-to-face, using one-to-one HD video calls with other RealmConnectONE App users.
Team chat messaging — You don’t need a cell phone or desk phone when you can message or call from your business line directly from the smartphone app.

Tips for choosing the best phone system for your business:

Let’s start at the beginning

Selecting the right phone system can feel confusing. There are countless advanced features to consider along with aligning its functionality to your business needs. The great news is that with a cloud PBX system, you don’t need to plan that far ahead. In fact, with softphones (mobile apps and desktop apps), your team can place voice calls in minutes without any additional hardware.

You got this. Here are several recommendations to help you pick the best small business phone system.

Identify your needs for a VoIP phone system

To find the phone system for your small business, consider your current business needs and the challenges in the future, such as hiring and customer growth.

Next, take a closer look at how you want to communicate across channels:

Voice calls High-definition phone calls between users, customers, prospects, and partners
Video meetings Real-time video conferencing with your team members
Text messaging Send and receive text messages (SMS) through your business phone numbers
Auto attendants Deliver useful messages and provide an easy way for customers to reach the right department with a touch-tone-based IVR
Call forwarding Never miss an important call again with automatic call forwarding to any team member or mobile phone
Toll-free number Pick a non-local business phone number for a professional and consistent customer experience
Contact center Serve customers using a call center (voice calls) or a multi-channel contact center — and you want it integrated with your PBX system
Business integrations Connecting your company’s phone system to CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, etc.) and email (Microsoft Outlook and Gmail) applications improve workflows throughout the office. You can also integrate with business applications like Zendesk, Five9, and Microsoft Teams.

The next area to consider is your technology needs. Do you occupy an office, or are you fully remote? Either option works great with small business VoIP. As long as you have a strong internet connection (at least 1 Mbps per user), you’ll enjoy unlimited calls in HD quality. Not sure, take a quick VoIP speed test.

Differences between analog and cloud-based phone systems

Many business owners are familiar with traditional landline phone systems. They are provided by your phone company and carry additional costs, including on-premises PBX equipment maintained by your IT team and copper wiring to connect your phones to the telephone service provider.

Analog phone lines have a reputation for reliability. Usually, they carry a clear sound, but storms or wiring problems cause downtime. Also, because they require on-premises systems, they can be complicated to scale. You will have to work with the provider’s schedule if you want to add new phone lines or change system features. And calling fees can be high, especially for long-distance.

Unsurprisingly, traditional landline phone systems are declining in popularity due to their costs and lack of flexibility, especially with the rise of working from home.

Cloud-based phone systems (also known as Voice over IP or VoIP), on the other hand, offer the highest degree of flexibility and scalability. VoIP phones are created for employees who work from home or on the road since the phone number is not limited to a physical location. Plus, you’ll typically save on the cost of calling plans, especially if you’re making long-distance calls.

At the end of the day, cloud phone systems offer more advanced features like unified communications to support the needs of every employee — and they cost less.

Types of cloud phone solutions on the market

Moving forward with a cloud-based phone system is an important step. Now, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the different types of cloud solutions on the market.

Cloud-based phone systems are available in two different models: on-premises or cloud-hosted.

On-premises VoIP phone systems use your high-speed internet connection as the exclusive medium for calling and give you access and control over phone system features and settings. But, all the equipment and phone system maintenance resides with your team. So, depending on the size of your small business team, this might not be the best phone solution for you.

Cloud-hosted VoIP solutions, on the other hand, shift the burden to your cloud phone system provider. Your company only needs a high-speed internet connection. In most cases, the VoIP phone provider will give you the comparable IP phones you need and a mobile app to receive calls from any mobile device.

Unlike on-premises VoIP or landline systems, cloud-hosted phone systems won’t carry much in the way of upfront costs. Instead, you’ll pay a monthly fee per user, plus extra costs if you request special add-ons like AI-powered virtual receptionists.

Choose a top VoIP provider with the latest technology

Top VoIP providers can outfit your business with dedicated technology, including phones, headsets, mobile apps, and more. Top VoIP phone system providers will also give you the dashboards and technical tools to seamlessly view every customer conversation in a single place, regardless of whether it happens by phone, email, or text messaging (SMS).

RealmConnect offers the best value for small businesses and enterprises. With its superior reliability, advanced functionality, system feature choices, ease of use, and customer service tools, no other provider comes close. RealmConnect also includes live customer support 24/7. It might not seem like a big deal now, but getting real customer support from your phone service provider is priceless.
