Remote workers and VoIP
VoIP & Remote Workers

Sales, techs and other remote workers often spend long amounts of time away from their desk. This could often see them missing important calls, emails and meetings while on the road.

With the use of a number of popular VoIP features, remote workers are able to carry out their usual activities between site visits and take or return calls anywhere at any time.

Softphone – All features in your pocket

Remote workers often have multiple contact numbers available at different times, and this can cause a lot of confusion and time wasted trying to get in touch with the one person.

VoIP softphones allow you to consolidate all devices to one number and one extension so wherever you are, you’re easily accessible. Apps are also usually available for little to no cost, providing majority of features found on the desktop version, so you’re never really missing out.

Voicemail Features

When on the road or working with clients remotely, it’s not always possible to catch every phone call. Voicemail to email allows remote workers to easily check their missed calls and messages and respond right away.

Voicemail to text is another quick way of receiving missed calls and messages, allowing you to scan the message for important information quicker than listening to a voicemail recording.

SIP Forking

As mentioned before, combining all devices into one number saves time and hassle for those on the other end – and hassle for yourself having to remember many different numbers.

The SIP Forking feature is the ability for a single extension to be registered on multiple devices and is one of the most highlighted features of any VoIP suite. Read more about SIP forking here.

As more people continue working remotely, either on the road or at home, VoIP is increasingly becoming a bigger part of businesses around the country.
