However what a lot of businesses don't realize is that there are a whole lot of really cool features that come with the VoIP service that are proving to be invaluable. For any business not using VoIP pay attention because you are missing out. Here is our top 10 list: Caller ID It can be very useful if you miss a call to be able to see who just called you so you can call them back. Call Logs See all the call activity for all the phone, fax or conference lines you use through your VoIP provider. This information is broken down in real time to see incoming and outgoing calls per line and the cost and duration of the calls and whether they were answered, missed or went to voicemail etc. Know how much you owe in real-time helping you to keep track of your call costs instead of second guessing when the next bill arrives in. Call Diversion Are you constantly in and out of the office, in meetings or always on the phone? Well manage your calls more effectively – divert them to your mobile, voicemail or to a colleague or landline when you can't take the calls. It is so easy to set up as and when you need to route your calls so you don't miss that all important call. Call Recording Great for training purposes so you can listen in on an active call when you have a new team member. Or you can listen to the call recording later for quality purposes helping you to improve your customer care and sales. Call Presence Wouldn't it be great to be able to see when your other colleagues are on the phone so you don't disturb them on a call? Well VoIP can display this – and this is known as ‘call presence' you know who is ringing who and when the call finishes too. Voicemail in your email See voicemail come straight into your email so no more missed calls – voicemail messages are instantly sent to the mail box address you want it to go to and then VoIP does the rest.
