Tuesday, January 01, 2008

MONTREAL, Quebec : Canadian Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone company Voicenex has closed their doors to residential signups, in an effort to reorganize their business plan, to focus on the exploding business VoIP marketplace.

Voicenex has become a serious contender in the North American VoIP telephone business in the last couple years, and while Voicenex's residential service was rapidly expanding, President Michel Thibault said that the decision to cease their residential services was necessary so that Voicenex could focus their expertise and their efforts exclusively on the business VoIP market.

While Voice-Over-Internet telephony services had been gaining in popularity in the residential market in 2007, the real massive market expansion has been in the business side of VoIP - or virtual PBX telephone systems.

Typically, a company could spend anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars on old technology POTS (plain old telephone system) PBX multi-line phone systems, just on the installation of the equipment, and then there was the cost of all the long distance calls on top of that. A very expensive endeavor indeed.

With Virtual PBX telephone systems, using VoIP technology, The business can set up a very scalable multi-line telephone system only purchasing a few phones capable of multi line features, and the service provider takes care of all the routing and termination of the calls remotely, at a fraction of the cost of the old PBX telephone systems.
