users little choice where to go for mobile long-distance calling and
internet browsing. Over Wi-Fi, however, smartphone users have discovered
a far cheaper method of communication – VoIP. For many paid services,

Do VoIP Users Need Tech Skills and Experience?

Recent studies suggest that more SMBs are veering away from on premise IP-PBX
in exchange for portable, lightweight VoIP solutions. The reasoning:
(1) most offices and/or residential spaces do not have the IT support
necessary to setup, maintain and update on premise IP-PBX systems; (2)
VoIP takes up less space and consumes less time in-house; and (3)
investments in VoIP are unbeatably low compared to on premise solutions.
In other words, the VoIP interface is inexpensive and user-friendly

Hosted PBX Gateways convert incoming PSTN transmissions into a form compatible with data networks – or vice versa. Such devices come in both analogue and digital formats. Sometimes users confuse hosted PBX gateways with Analogue Telephone Adaptors (ATAs), so it’s best to think of gateways as bridgesbetween networks instead of components in a single environment. In using gateways, then, users merge the stability and reliability of the PSTN with the robustness of hosted PBX. In other words, hosted PBX gateways provide fail over options.
