Does a VoIP based system cost more than a regular PBX system?
Depending upon the numbers of handsets and lines required to run the business, in many cases the VoIP based system costs less and is easier to maintain than a regular PBX system. Where in the past, each phone and each computer had to have its own line to connect to the central network of the building, now only one is necessary. Just as your computer sends out digital data over the corporate Ethernet network, your voice over IP phone can turn your voice into digital data and send it the same way and over the same cable.
