Why your competitors are ditching landline and choosing VoIP

Traditional phone lines are becoming a thing of the past. With more teams working remotely, scaling fast, or cutting unnecessary costs, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is quickly becoming the smart choice for modern UK businesses.

At Simply Telecom, we help companies of all sizes move away from outdated landlines and into the cloud—without the stress.

If you're still using a physical phone system or paying BT for outdated lines, here's why VoIP is the upgrade your business needs.


1. Work From Anywhere—Without Losing Your Landline

One of the biggest benefits of VoIP is flexibility. You don’t need to be tied to a desk or office to answer business calls.

With VoIP:

  • Take calls on your mobile, laptop, tablet, or desk phone

  • Transfer calls between team members—even if they’re working remotely

  • Keep your existing business number, or add more as you grow

Perfect for hybrid teams, field-based staff, or companies with multiple locations.

2. Cut Your Phone Bills (Without Cutting Corners)

Traditional phone lines can be expensive. With VoIP, you only pay for what you use—and calls over the internet are usually much cheaper, especially for long-distance or international.

Our business VoIP packages often include:

  • Unlimited UK landline & mobile calls

  • Free internal calls between staff—even across different sites

  • No expensive line rental or hardware charges

You get enterprise-level features at small-business prices.

3. Professional Features—Without the High Cost

VoIP isn’t just about saving money—it makes your business sound more professional, too. Even the smallest team can have:

  1. Auto-attendants (“Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support”)

  2. Call recording

  3. Voicemail to email

  4. Custom on-hold messages or music

  5. Hunt groups and call queues

These features help your team stay efficient and your business sound established—even if you're just starting out.

4. Easy to Set Up and Manage

No more waiting weeks for Openreach or installing clunky hardware. With VoIP:

  • We can set you up in as little as 24–48 hours

  • Phones plug into your broadband—or just use our mobile and desktop apps

  • Changes like adding users or tweaking call flows can be done remotely

And don’t worry—we handle the technical side, so you don’t have to.

5. Built for Growth

VoIP systems scale easily. Whether you’re adding your first new team member or opening a second office, you don’t need to install new phone lines or change numbers.

You can:

  • Add new users in minutes

  • Create departments or hunt groups as you grow

  • Route calls between multiple locations

Future-proof your communications—without costly upgrades.
