business phone systems
I just picked up a night job to supplement my income while I am here at school. Unfortunately, the only job that really suited my schedule with flexibility of hours and schedule was a telemarketing job. I have always hated telemarketers when they call me and I am not a really pushy person, so I am not sure how far I can go in this job. In any case, I have worked a few nights being trained so far, and I am just amazed at their phone system.
Apparently, they use what is called an SIP phone system. To my understanding, this is a system by which your phone is channeled through your computer and uses it to make phone calls. I have seen many business phone systems in the past, but never one that worked like this one. The manager told me that the system is very reliable, and on top of that extremely cost efficient. Since, all telemarketers do is call people all over the US all the time, they found that this system was the best way to keep costs low.
I found this system so interesting, that I had to find out more about. It seems that this is the new wave of phone technology. You actually use a device to wire your landline phone through your computer and for a flat fee (no extra charges or long distance charges) you connect to other people using a broadband connection. No worries, the phone you are calling does not have to be an SIP phone, it can be a cell phone or even a landline phone. It doesn't matter. You receive a similar phone service to that of a landline phone with no additional charges. With the right carrier, your service can be just as reliable with this type of system as it is on your current landline phone. All this for less than half the price of what your current carrier is charging. Sometimes, it seems that technology changes so fast, it is nearly impossible to keep up with the newest and latest advancements. I am just glad that I learned about this service. Now, I can switch my home phone and give it a try. It is a minimal investment to switch and I guess if it really doesn't work out, I can switch back with no problems. I don't really see that happening though.
