At the forefront of communication technology is the cloud and subsequent products such as phone systems that run completely through the cloud mitigating traditional phone wires and network providers. This technology is referred to as Hosted VoIP; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/hosted-voip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VoIP standing for \u2018voice over internet\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With installation and maintenance costs far cheaper than the traditional alternative, Hosted VoIP could help save your business money from the offset. On top of that, VoIP to VoIP calls are completely free no matter where you are calling. Using the same technology as Skype and FaceTime, charges do not apply when calling VoIP to VoIP since communication relies solely on the internet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/categories\/small-business-multi-line-phone-systems\/93\">(See Hosted VoIP packages here)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of calls going straight to one phone line, VoIP calls can be answered using any smart device including laptops, smartphones and tablets meaning that staff have the flexibility to work from any location. With features such as call forwarding, intelligent call routing and voicemail to email staff are available and contactable 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_56_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a20b8f4ccffa\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #595859;color:#595859\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #595859;color:#595859\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a20b8f4ccffa\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/this-is-how-hosted-voip-is-improving-small-businesses\/#Case_studies\" title=\"Case studies\">Case studies<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/this-is-how-hosted-voip-is-improving-small-businesses\/#Tutorful\" title=\"Tutorful\">Tutorful<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/this-is-how-hosted-voip-is-improving-small-businesses\/#Baacco\" title=\"Baacco\">Baacco<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-case-studies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_studies\"><\/span>Case studies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tutorful\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tutorful\"><\/span>Tutorful<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tutorful.co.uk\/\">Tutorful<\/a>, a small startup matching private tutors with students, benefitted hugely from switching to Hosted VoIP. The business was started in early 2015 and has grown at a rapid pace having just completed an equity crowdfunding campaign to raise \u00a3150,000. Originally, Tutorful (Originally Tutora) relied on traditional landline systems for communication with parents and tutors but found Hosted VoIP to not only be cheaper but more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Tutorful.png\" alt=\"Tutorful Logo\" class=\"wp-image-4025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Tutorful.png 400w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Tutorful-300x90.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the primary benefit for us, the ability to not be confined to a fixed location and not have mobile numbers as the main point of contact.

There isn\u2019t a requirement to be sat by a computer or telephone, your calls are routed to your mobile so you can answer customer service calls even whilst you\u2019re away from your devices. It provides an additional element of credibility so that our customers can be confident in our service.
