The Top Ten Business VoIP Telephone Providers Announced by VoIP-Catalog.com
(PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- The flood of US businesses switching their office communications system to Voice over Internet Protocol, or simply “VoIP”, has also brought on hundreds of VoIP service providers to meet the growing demand. The next-generation technology is cheaper, cleaner, and clearer because it compresses digital voice packets and sends them over the Internet instead of transmitting them through thousands of miles of copper land-lines. Although business VoIP systems have undergone a decade-long vetting process before being adopted into large-scale use, many of the service providers have not. To help consumers plow through the increasing number of VoIP companies, the telecom experts at VoIP-Catalog have compared the prices, features, and service ratings of dozens of providers nationwide to announce “The Top Ten Business VoIP Telephone Providers.”
