Probably not!

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol simply meaning the telephone system requires constant internet access as it sends data over the internet to operate. Most telephone systems that are available today are VoIP capable, however, not all businesses need VoIP telephones. Digital telephones are generally more reliable and function the same within most businesses environments, and can cost considerably less both up front and in service.

A good case for using a VoIP telephone is for using a business telephone at a remote location such as a home office or for a business that has small satellite offices that can benefit from having telephones that are connected to the main office telephone system as extensions. Cloud based systems use VoIP telephones because they are allowing your telephones to operate through the internet from their main office telephone system that they rent to their customers for a monthly fee.

One of the primary problems with cloud based systems is COST – that monthly cost never goes away!  With a VOIP telephone system you are paying for your telephone equipment over and over again!
