Have not had a land line since 98, good-bye BT line rental! As an alternative we use a VOIP phone setup. Each user has a VOIP account on a virtual phone system (PBX) this means they can connect using a hardware VOIP phone or via s software based (SIP) client. So if we leave the office for a reason we just load up the VOIP app of our choice and carry on working. Oh and no line rental to BT, this is really important. Plus it gives us great amusement when we are embarrassed by cold callers promising to lower our landline rates.

Anyone can use a VOIP service - you could be a brand new start-up simply needing an office phone number, a growing business needing a flexible way of supporting new staff or home workers, an established business needing to replace an obsolete office PBX switchboard or perhaps you need SIP trunks to connect your own VoIP PBX telephony equipment. One of the main advantages is being able to pick any phone number you like, feel free to pretend to be from Aberdeen or Basingstoke.
Our tip is to double-check call costs, not all providers are priced equally.
