Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) means ‘Calling via the Internet’. VoIP is also referred to as IP telephony or Internet telephony. But VoIP also means: cost savings. Inter-company telephony is expensive. Not only the call duration, but also telephone switchboards, maintenance contracts and systems at various locations combine to create (high and unpredictable) costs.

With 12connect and VoIP, your national and international offices, are connected with one another over the internet. Multiple switchboards are connected to a major exchange using one numbering plan. This ensures that telephone conversations and data are exchanged without losing quality and that you do not have to pay any telephone charges over and above this.

Secure, because 12Connect ‘encrypts’ the information. Also home workers, teleworkers, ‘remote’ employees and employees of companies with a single switchboard can call one another or colleagues at the office free of charge from now on. And even when you are offline, the telephone will ring as normal. Worldwide!
