In the early days of IP telephony, the initial appeal of VoIP was toll savings. While toll savings remains a good reason to switch to VoIP, there are others, such as:

* Reduced costs – Unlike traditional telephony, VoIP utilizes the existing network infrastructure for system installation. This saves thousands of dollars by taking advantage of the investments already made by a company.
* Ease of management – IT staff can often manage the VoIP phone system because it runs over the company’s Internet connection or data network. This enables them to perform routine tasks such as setting up voicemail boxes, adding or deleting users, as well as activate other features at no additional cost, while outside vendors could charge upwards of $300/hr for the same tasks.
* Mobility and portability – Special features enable employees to work remotely while still accessing advanced call handling and additional features as significantly reduced capital costs. Added benefits include flexibility, scalability and reliability.
There are two points to be considered when purchasing and using a Phone Card:

* The cost to use the Access Number of your chosen Phone Cards
* The cost per minute from country to country (charged to the Phone card).
