What is VoIP?
VoIP is an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol.
Is my network VoIP ready? How much bandwidth do I need?
To determine if your network is VoIP-ready and the amount of bandwidth required, you can perform a VoIP network assessment. This test evaluates metrics such as jitter, packet loss, and MOS scores, as well as upload/download capacity, SIP ALG detection, and the maximum number of concurrent VoIP calls your internet connection can support. Generally, VoIP calls typically require 80-100 kbps of bandwidth per concurrent call, but this can vary based on the audio codec used, the desired audio quality, and other network traffic.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Certainly, you have the option to retain your existing phone number by filling out a transfer document that will be supplied to you. The duration of the portability process may vary from 10 to 30 days, depending on your former provider.
