Although being online is almost mandatory for having a business in 2025, ensuring a good connection is vital for call quality when it comes to Voice over Internet Protocol technology.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the U.S., prices for internet plans can vary from $20 to $300 a month, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home-improvement\/internet\/internet-cost-per-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>average being $65 monthly<\/strong><\/a>.

It works as a connector between your VoIP provider and the traditional telecommunications network.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When building your professional virtual phone system, you&rsquo;ll learn that your business phone system must have a softphone to work &#8211; IP phones and other hardware are optional.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use Microsoft Teams as a softphone (and <a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/features\/microsoft-teams-integration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>we have a connector<\/strong><\/a> to help!) or hire another third-party app.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at an in-depth list of softphones and their main features in <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.voip.ms\/article\/Softphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>our Wiki<\/strong><\/a> but know that some of them are free, others have a paywall to either get the softphone or unlock its full potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this scenario, let&rsquo;s choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoiper.com\/en\/products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Zoiper<\/strong><\/a>: it offers free versions for iOS, Android and desktop, but a paid version with full access to all its functionalities.

These companies have products and services (from virtual phone numbers to advanced features such as Virtual Fax, Call Recording and Voicemail to Email) necessary for your virtual phone system to run smoothly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, VoIP pricing may vary depending on the provider, the size of your business and the features and add-ons you have (and better not forget those one-time charges!).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s use VoIP.ms as an example here. If you choose us as your VoIP service provider, and your company has five employees or less, you might spend as low as $3.29 a month for phone services, virtual fax, text messaging and E911 activation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds incredible, right?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/pricing#roi_tool_container\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/voip.stageweb.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5224\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/blog\/6-innovative-uses-for-call-forwarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>6 Innovative uses for Call Forwarding<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Number and\/or Number Portability&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have a business number, and want to keep it, you can port your phone number to the new VoIP provider. Many providers (like VoIP.ms) offer free portability for numbers from U.S. and Canada, but other locations might translate into extra one-time charges.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for wanting a new number to represent your business &#8211; be it an \u201cofficial\u201d office business phone number, a toll-free number, vanity number or local number.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each DID (Direct Inward Dialing) needs to be purchased and usually has a monthly maintenance cost, either per line or per user.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, VoIP bundles offer a few DIDs for you to get started but remember to have this as a possible extra charge in your monthly bill in case you need to add users or numbers to your original account.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/blog\/porting-phone-number-voip-ms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Number porting to <\/strong><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/voip.ms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>VoIP.ms<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/blog\/porting-phone-number-voip-ms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>: Everything you need to know<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summing up the cost of VoIP for small business&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, you have all that information, but you are still a little confused about the final amount you&rsquo;d pay monthly for your VoIP solution, correct?

Business VoIP cost is advantageous because it offers flexibility, unlike traditional landlines. But we need to look deeper to make an informed decision about VoIP plans and business communications.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the reasons why you can save with a VoIP phone system:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flexibility&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lower rater&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optional hardware&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy Set Up&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexibility (The best VoIP feature)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned it in passing before, but flexibility really is key when it comes to VoIP. The technology allows you to take your business number with you wherever you go (just download your softphone on your mobile device or laptop).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s also the case of scalability. Unlike traditional telephone providers, VoIP works differently regarding service bundles. You can create your personalized system with the additional features you need and add more as your business grows.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you have a small retail business that&rsquo;s starting to gain traction. You might consider adding Calling Queue and a few extra lines to ensure every client is answered during a busy season (say, Black Friday or the holidays).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the business keeps the pace \u2013 leave everything as is. If not, you can downgrade and upgrade again when needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/voip.stageweb.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INSTAGRAM-FORMAT.png\" alt=\"voice over internet protocol vs. traditional phone systems\" class=\"wp-image-5174\" style=\"width:603px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/voip.ms\/blog\/outbound-calling-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Call Center: What you need to know about outbound calling<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lower Rates&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>VoIP providers are known for having lower rates and promote cost savings. And when your business is still small and you&rsquo;re dealing with a tight budget, that&rsquo;s great news.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International calling fees can be even lower than those charged by traditional phone providers. You can also pay as low as $0.0075 for sending and receiving SMS messages\u2014that is, if you sign up with VoIP.ms!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional Hardware&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stil in the topic of budget, a traditional landline asks for hardware, which might be a high additional cost for a small and starting company. But VoIP doesn&rsquo;t.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By opting for a Bring-Your-Own-Device model, you can migrate your communication system to a VoIP service provider without buying desk phones and headsets. Instead, use the devices you feel more comfortable with!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Set Up&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Small businesses don&rsquo;t usually start out in a fancy office with a cool cafeteria and video games for team integration and downtime.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They normally start in someone&rsquo;s guest bedroom, sometimes even a garage or the nearest coffee shop. So, considering traditional landlines comes with the stress of needing a physical location that will house your physical business phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That installation costs money and will require your business to halt all operations for a while. Scheduling a visit might be difficult, and the whole process is stressful and tiring.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, small businesses thrive with VoIP service providers.
