Why should I hire a VoIP consultant?

A consultant helps you:

  • Choose the right system (cloud vs on-prem)

  • Avoid costly mistakes

  • Optimize call quality and reliability

  • Ensure security and compliance

  • Integrate with your existing tools (CRM, helpdesk, etc.)

What’s the difference between cloud VoIP and on-premise VoIP?

Cloud VoIP: Hosted by a provider, minimal hardware, easy to scale

On-premise VoIP: Installed at your location, more control and customization

EDVNC will help you determine which fits your business best.

How much does VoIP cost?

Costs vary based on:

  • Number of users

  • Features (call recording, analytics, etc.)

  • Hardware (phones, network upgrades)

Typical range:

  • Cloud: $15–$40 per user/month

  • On-prem: Higher upfront, lower long-term recurring costs

Will my internet support VoIP?

Most modern connections work, but a consultant will evaluate:

  • Bandwidth

  • Latency and jitter

  • Network configuration (QoS, VLANs)

Is VoIP secure?

Yes—when properly configured. Best practices include:

  • Encryption (TLS/SRTP)

  • Firewalls and SBCs

  • Strong authentication

EDVNC can ensure your system is hardened against threats.

Can I keep my existing phone numbers?

Yes. This process is called number porting, and EDVNC will handle the transition with minimal downtime.

What equipment do I need?

Typically:

  • IP phones or softphones

  • Router/firewall (VoIP-optimized)

  • Optional: on-prem PBX server

EDVNC can recommend models and handle setup.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Options include:

  • Automatic call forwarding to mobile devices
