  2. One of the first items that is addressed when looking at a hosted VoIP business phone service is the amount of bandwidth that your Internet connection has, both on the download and just an importantly on the upload, but its also needs to be a steady connection.

  3. Many of you may encounter some technical problems when you first install a VoIP phone.  Make sure the VoIP provider provides good customer support including 24 hours phone support 7 days a week.

  4. Telephone systems and emails are the most common ways to make calls and process them in businesses especially the small ones, so having a full-fledged system to handle ever professional aspect is not easy. So the foremost thing to do is to check caller id message when making outgoing calls.

  5. There are a few sites listing customer reviews which can be used as a reference.  However, please bear in mind that these reviews can be tainted and since the quality of VoIP service is affected by other factors (e.g. quality of broadband connection), it is not uncommon to find both good and bad reviews for the same company.  If in doubt, you can always call the VoIP companies to express your concern and ask for clarification.
