# Why VoIP is better than traditional phone?

With the advent of VoIP, more and more businesses are switching away from the traditional landline phones. So, why is VoIP better than landline? and [how is VoIP helping businesses saving more than 30%](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/how-does-voip-help-businesses-save-up-to-30-more)? Here are the many benefits of switching your phone system:

1. **[Cut Costs](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/5-ways-voip-helps-smaller-businesses-to-save-cost):** The biggest advantage for many businesses deciding between**[VoIP vs. landline is the cost](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/8-ways-voip-can-upscale-your-business).** VoIP calls are significantly cheaper than landline services, and many of the added features are free to use. The installation of hardware and software is also more cost-effective than setting up traditional lines – so there’s no expensive initial outlay. As well as being cheap to install, setup is also quick. For smaller business in the midst of scaling, it’s a convenient upgrade that will cause little disruption.
2. **Complete Mobility:** With VoIP there’s added flexibility when it comes to location. Fixed phone lines utilize non-portable phones, while VoIP calls can be made anywhere in the world as long as you have a good connection. This allows for easy international growth and promotes better remote working for staff members. Fifty percent of the Western workforce could be working remotely by 2020, according to Fast Company. With such a big rise in remote workers, having better mobility for your team is more important than ever.
3. **Advanced Functions:** In addition to cost savings and improved remote communications, VoIP also comes with a multitude of functions to make day-to-day interactions between colleagues and customers easier.
   
   *These extra functions, which are not available with landline phones, enhance the way we communicate. This not only streamlines processes across departments, but it can help you nurture client relationships and improve customer service performance. Having interactive voice response, call recording, time of day routing, and sequential ringing are all free features of VoIP that can help you resolve problems or liaise with clients without delay. VoIP phone systems will continue to benefit from ongoing enhancements as technology continues to advance, yet landline technology remains stagnant.*

**4. Combined Communication Channels:[Unified communication channels](https://www.savincom.co.uk/voip-for-business-fixed-voice-connectivity/)** are one of the benefits of VoIP designed to increase productivity and save you time. Unlike traditional phone lines, a modern VoIP system can bring all of your channels together for when you’re on the go between meetings or traveling abroad. For instance, you can send voicemails directly to your email, which eliminates the need to dial into your phone service to retrieve them. For global representatives, this can be a big cost saving for the company. You can even have voicemails automatically transcribed and emailed to you with some services, which makes business travel even easier.  
**5. Easy IoT Integration**: According to statistics, there will be almost 76 billion connected devices by the year 2025. This is considering the**[complete shut down of PSTN](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/gain-access-to-all-communications-with-one-solution)**. The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be the next industrial revolution, and VoIP systems can be integrated to create a more productive workplace. Since the IoT and VoIP are both based on an IP infrastructure, they can interact without a problem.   
**6. Greater Privacy:** When it comes to VoIP vs. landline, security is one of the main concerns for businesses. The truth is, however, that neither landline nor VoIP is completely hack-proof.

**7. Easy to Scale:** Scalability is a major advantage when assessing the pros and cons of VoIP vs landline. For companies undergoing major growth, non-fixed VoIP is the cheapest system to utilize.

I would like to thank savincom for the hard work that they have done, they have managed to meet all our requirements and have delivered it in a timely fashion. They have reduced our monthly outgoings for our mobiles by a 1/5 of which we are very happy about.

 Maintenance Manager, Luxury Hotel Group

Since moving to Savincom, we have received excellent and responsive customer service, the small number of issues we have experienced have been resolved in an efficient and expert manner. We have significantly reduced our running costs, with the proactive account management, currently running a reduction of c.40% on costs, the cost reduction has been most prevalent around roaming and international calling. The transfer from Vodafone Direct to Savincom Vodafone was smooth and seamless, with onsite support offered during the days of the transfer. If I was to score them out of 10, it would be 10 as the have excelled as a service partner.

 Office Manager, Leading Global Commodity Merchant

We have worked with Savin Communications for four years now and we are delighted with the work carried out so far.  We have 300+ connections, so service needs to be of the highest quality, which is what we get with Savin Communications. We have a rapid staff turnover and Savin assist us when utilising connections. We used to be on a plan where we were constantly going over minutes and data allowances. Savin Communications has helped us source a much better quality plan and they understand the high standards that our organisation have and are most efficient in delivering well within time limits…. The account manager is always easy to contact and help is really appreciated, meetings with him are regular. The assistance and support we receive is always   
 responsive, proactive and excellent at all times. The advice given is easy to understand along with their online portal which is easy to use too, communicated in a friendly accessible manner. I would highly recommend Savin Communications.

 ICT Manager, National Charity

Having paid overly expensive mobile phone bills for several years, we switched to Savincom who assured us of substantial savings, especially for our mobile phone usage abroad. They were not wrong! Our bills have practically halved since the switch and furthermore Savincom provide a great support service, with any queries or problems being acknowledged and dealt with swiftly and professionally.

 Finance Manager, Global Shipping Company

I can confirm that we switched over our account from a direct one held with one of the Networks, to one under Savincom’s control and have been more than happy with the service thus far. As a Canadian Investment Bank with frequent overseas travellers, I found doing business direct with the Network over the past few years and my numerous dedicated account managers very frustrating indeed. Wrong price plans, outdated tariffs, changes of Account Managers, limited cover on the weekend support desk, and bolt -on’s not being applied to our overseas travellers etc. We are seeing benefits in not having to deal with the Network directly. I would be happy to recommend them in terms of the mobile contract that they proposed and especially their customer service.

 Operations Manager, Investment Bank

Since using Savincom our bills have noticeably decreased and every possible bundle is being added and removed when necessary. The service levels are a world away from what we experienced previously; I get a response back from their support team in at least 5 minutes, and everyone is extremely helpful. The account management is makes a big difference as well. Everything is straightforward and I can request information on our account and be sent a detailed report. I would highly recommend Savincom.

 Office Manager, Investment Company

I have used Savin for the last 4 years and their customer service, support, timescale to response and resolve any queries etc. has been first class! I am the IT Manager for a large construction based Group and as you can appreciate we have a large number of guys based on construction sites who break their phone frequently (and lose them!) so I require a swift service to replace phones and sims, bar phone lines and order new lines (either phone or 4G dongles) ASAP, all of which Savin deliver! So I would recommend Savin without hesitating!

 IT Manager, Construction Group

The highlight for me is being able to shoot an email to Savincom support and almost   
 immediately getting an engaging response, they want to solve my problems rather   
 than assign blame to someone. Overall we are very pleased to be working with a great team.

 IT Manager, Private Equity

Savincom are my righthand. I just phone and everything gets dealt with – no more long maddening calls to mobile providers. Thank you Savincom. You guys rock!

 Andrea Sequeira

Not only have our monthly bills been cut by more than half, savincom saved hours of my time spent on the phone to network direct customer support lines.

 Sujin Bailey

Having had our mobile phone contracts managed by savincom has saved the company considerable time and administrative effort.
