VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones are a great way to make international calls at cheaper or lower rates than your regular telephone. But like any other telephony service, the quality of your VoIP connection will depend on how well you take care of it. So here is a quick preview of some of the things you need to do if you are using VoIP phones for office use.
- Check that your VoIP service provider has implemented SIP Trunking Protocol (SIP) in your VoIP phones for office. SIP is a type of standard internet telephone call, and requires your IP address as well as your name/area code to dial out. If your VoIP service provider has implemented SIP Trunking Protocol in all its offices, check that SIP ports on your phone are properly displayed in the 'Network' section of your VoIP client software.
- Make sure you have an Internet connection that supports SIP. SIP can work with both broadband and dial-up connections, but both these types of connections take a long time to establish and, especially dial-up, may not be available when your office telephones are being used. As for broadband, it takes about 7 seconds for a voice request to be transferred over the same network. If you can't get Internet to work, SIP won't be of much help to you.

- Do you want to test VoIP with your existing phone number? Of course! Simply go to 'My Account' under 'Voip phones for office', and then click the 'Ethernet Test Connection' tab. On the next page, there will be a list of ten numbers. When you click one, a complete report about that network connection should be displayed. The IP address, telephone number, and name of the network administrator will also be listed in this report.
- How do you know how good your VoIP service is? How accurate is the estimate provided by the VoIP company? How many dropped calls do you typically experience during a typical week? Do you typically pay more than $20 per month for a basic plan? What is your average download and upload speeds? These are questions you should ask yourself, because the answers will tell you how good your VoIP service is.
Of course, you can use your normal phone for making calls as well as for Ethernet telephones. You don't need to purchase VoIP phones for office use. In fact, you can use your old regular phones for as long as they support standard SMS messages. The most important thing is that you should test your new VoIP phones for a week or two first, before making any substantial investments in Yealink Voip phone Kenya service for office use.
