Telecoms Myth Busters

Telecom myths often stop businesses from upgrading systems that could save money and improve communication. Let’s clear up some of the most common misunderstandings. Here are some of the most common:

Myth 1: VoIP Isn’t Reliable

Reality: With the right internet connection, modern VoIP systems offer excellent call quality and built-in resilience, often outperforming traditional phone lines.

Myth 2: Switching Providers Causes Disruption

Reality: Most switches are smooth, with numbers ported across and systems set up before going live, meaning little to no downtime.

Myth 3: Virtual Numbers Are Only for Big Businesses

Reality: Virtual numbers are affordable and ideal for SMEs and one man bands. They help businesses appear local, route calls easily, and support remote teams.

Myth 4: Traditional Phone Lines Are More Secure

Reality: Modern VoIP systems use encryption and security controls that can be more robust than older analogue systems.

Myth 5: Better Telecoms Cost More

Reality: Many businesses lower costs by switching to VoIP, reducing maintenance, call charges, and hardware needs.

Final Thought

Technology has moved on and so should outdated assumptions. The right solution can improve reliability, reduce costs, and support how modern businesses work.
