5 Free Features to Enjoy with a Basic Indiana VoIP Package

A basic VoIP package is actually more comprehensive than you think. Compared to traditional phones, VoIP – also known as voice over Internet protocol – can offer you lower rates as well as more and better features. As such, don’t you think it’s time to equip your Indiana home with VoIP?

Basic Features of VoIP
The features below are generally offered by VoIP providers at no extra charge. Many of them, however, don’t come for free if you are using a traditional phone system.

Caller ID
This is, perhaps, one of the most useful phone features today. With Caller ID, you’re able to see the phone number of the person calling you. That alone can serve various purposes. Seeing the number can help you screen calls and let you choose which calls you wish to take and which ones you wish to avoid. If it’s an unidentified number and you’ve missed the call, you can easily dial the number and return the call.

Voice Mail
Why miss a call when you don’t have to? If your phone is out of reach for whatever reason, your VoIP system will automatically forward the call to your voice mail box and callers can leave you a message there. Voice mail is useful as well for screening calls; they’re quite good at letting you know what someone wants without having to speak to your caller. You can also access your voice mailbox anytime with VoIP and return important calls a.s.a.p.

Fax
Yes, facsimiles can waste a terrible amount of paper but there are also times when faxes are the only way for you to access documents and the likes. Thankfully, your VoIP phone can also double as a fax machine as well.

3-Way Calling
This feature is also known as call conferencing. It’s also quite popular for both households and businesses and most VoIP systems offer this feature for free. But as the name implies, you can only call up to two persons at the same time; if you want to get a hold of other people, your recipient’s system must be capable of 3-way calling, too.

Call Blocking
Simply put, if there are numbers that you’d rather wish you’ve never seen in your life then call blocking will make that possible. If that number is used to call you, it will automatically get blocked and you won’t even have to be aware of it.

These are just a few of the basic features of VoIP. To know the rest, contact your nearest VoIP provider.
