What are VoIP phone systems?
So what is VoIP? And what can it do for companies that want to work from anywhere?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems let you make phone calls over the internet, instead of relying on traditional phonelines. Your voice is broken up into data packets and sent on its way, online.
When it comes to business phone systems VoIP makes calls cheaper and more reliable. There’s no need to buy specialised handsets unless you really want them, so there are potentially zero hardware costs. They’re also more flexible—you can communicate seamlessly across phones, desktops, tablets, or whatever device suits you at any given moment.
Small business VoIP phone systems can make setup cheap and agile, and larger companies can get much more detailed analytics. By running your calls through a digital channel, you can link them up with software that can help you work more effectively.
All the benefits of VoIP phone systems for business (and a whole lot more)
Truly unified communications
Unified communications (UC) integrates voice, video, messaging, and collaboration into one platform, eliminating the need for multiple, disconnected applications. That means faster decision-making, increased productivity, and improved collaboration in your team. It's also an excellent experience for your customers, who don't have to repeat themselves.
Any time, anywhere, any device
These days, the best small business phone systems have to be built for a remote world. Virtual phone numbers turn any device into a business phone, meaning your team can make and receive calls with their office number no matter where they are. It's a lifesaver for remote and hybrid teams, who don't need to keep several numbers on hand for each member of staff.
Top call quality
Customer support can be tricky: One bad experience might lose you business, and a poor phone line could make or break a call. Dialpad boasts unique dual-cloud architecture and a global voice network to guarantee HD VoIP calls all around the world.

Frequently asked questions about VoIP phone systems
What’s the difference between PBX, VoIP, and UCaaS?
There are several differences when it comes to VoIP vs PBX.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) is the traditional system businesses used to route calls to the right colleague. This requires phone lines, handsets, and expensive configurations to install in the office.
VoIP is the term for the technology used to make calls over the internet. It’s how schools teach classes online, GPs have video calls with patients, and how you stay in touch with friends and family over FaceTime.
Sometimes “VoIP” can also be used as shorthand for a cloud-based VoIP phone system. That’s a software solution that allows businesses to make online calls.
