11/15/2012- Votacall VoIP – Boston, Massachusetts- The recent onslaught of hurricanes and Nor'easters in the east region of the United States has generated VoIP Phone System opportunities for providers. Many businesses and houses are still without power and operating phone systems. There has been over a week and a half for the Telecom companies too fix these problems and they have been struggling to deliver the disaster relief promised to customers.

With no disaster relief and phone lines down, companies are losing business and revenue daily. In this tough economy, no business can afford to stop all operations for over a week; never mind a couple. VoIP Phone Solutions have the ability to deliver the disaster relief consumers desire. With multiple redundant data centers, providers can guarantee that the phone system will not crash as long as there is power to it. Even if the power goes down, Auto-Attendant and Voice Mail are operated on a Cloud server and stored at a off site location. This guarantees no call is lost or missed and can be returned once the power goes back on.

Votacall's Fixed Mobile Convergence is a feature that allows users to forward their desk phone number to any mobile device. This is critical because if the power goes down within the office, the employees can forward their work number to the cell phone and continue making and receiving calls. This gives Votacall's users a peace of mind knowing they will always have a working VoIP Phone Solution to operate with. In addition, their customers will be thrilled because they know they will always have access to the business, natural disaster or not. They will know they are able to call for support, questions or anything else for that matter, all because the company purchased a Reliable VoIP Phone Solution.

"We have received many calls from both new and existing customers inquiring about our services since Hurricane Sandy hit our area," said the CEO of one company specializing in VoIP. "We expect to increase our sales to our current customers as well as new customers who were impacted by the storm. They have come to the realization that we have solutions, that will help keep their business from being disrupted."

This quote basically sums up the business opportunities. People want reliable phone solutions and VoIP is that opportunity. The storm was devastating, creating huge amounts of wind and flooding from Sandy, leaving a path of destruction. However, many VoIP customers with hosted services were able to continue to communicate and operate at their physical location due to the services being housed elsewhere. With traditional phone lines, storms can easily cause power failures due to widespread outages and physical damage to the larger network. However, If a service is hosted, companies may have a much easier time getting avoiding the ill effects of the storm and thus have better continuity due to the internet being left intact. Being one of the only companies in the area with working phones is a huge advantage, not only for business, but for aid to the neighborhood and region.

People want a reliable VoIP Phone solution and Votacall can guarantee that. Hurricane Sandy forced people to realize the need for Cloud Communications was more the prevalent. It was critical to competing within a tough fiscal economy. The business opportunities generated from the storm only increase the trend of people adopting VoIP Phone Solutions. In the end, the system guarantees a reliable operating phone network, even through the worst disaster we have seen in the region throughout the decade. Votacall can deliver the reliable VoIP Phone Solution necessary to battling through tough times and can give the customer a great overall experience. Think Big, Go Votacall!
