Why Pre Paid Business Phone Plans is best for VoIP



VoIP is becoming one of the fastest growing communication solutions in the market today because of the many benefits that it brings to its users. Savings, better capacity, innovative features and customization options being on top of the list. However, did you know that you can even push these benefits by simply opting for a pre paid business phone plan as oppose to settling for a post paid plan?

Pre paid business phone plans are not a common sight in business communication but with VoIP it is becoming fairly popular because of its benefits.

Security – Although VoIP is generally secured through a process called encryption, it is best if you will still have a second line of defense in place. Many security experts would agree that mitigating the risk is as important as the primary defense. Y acquiring a pre paid VoIP business phone plan you are mitigating any risk that you may be exposed to in the event that your VoIP line has been hacked.

How? Take this example for an instance. If your phones have been hacked and you are connected to a post paid plan then no one knows how much your bill will be at the end of the month. With a pre paid business phone plan only the current credits on your account will be at risk. If you have $10 then only the $10 can be used up.

Low balance alarm notification – Further to mitigating the risk the low balance alarm notification will let you know your current credits and will let you determine whether your credits are running low faster than usual so you can inform your service provider to address the issue immediately.

Better call accounting – Unlike post paid plans that you will only know your bill and call usage at the end of the month a pre paid plan will allow you to check your usage and cost on a regular basis, usually several times a month or depending how much you are putting in your account. This will let you manage you cost more efficiently.

Increment payment – Some businesses just don’t have the upfront funds at the end of the month to settle bills forcing them to make partial payments and incur interest over time. With a pre paid plan the payment option can be in increments because you only need to reload whatever amount you can comfortably afford. This will prevent you from spending business money that is not intended for bills but probably for payroll or development.
