What is a VoIP phone?

A VoIP phone is a device that provides telephone services through the internet rather than direct copper wires (which are used by traditional phones). Because they operate through the internet, VoIP phone systems offer greater mobility, connectivity, and functionality.

Ringover’s range of VoIP phones were designed for businesses of all sizes. Streamline call management workflows, empower your customer experience, and enhance collaboration with a VoIP phone system that works for you.

What is a hard phone? What is a softphone?

There are two types of VoIP phones: hard phones and softphones. Hard phones look just like traditional phones—they sit on your desk or in a conference room and can be used for direct calls, conference calls, and more via handsets, headsets, speakerphones, or Bluetooth accessories.

A softphone is a virtual phone. Softphones can be accessed through an app on any internet-connected device, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. The Ringover softphone app offers an easy-to-use interface that can be used just like a hard phone.

VoIP Phone FAQs

How do VoIP phones work?

Traditional phones are wired to an on-premises Private Branch Exchange (PBX), an expensive and complicated system that is responsible for call routing. Over the past two decades, VoIP technology has far surpassed the capabilities of traditional PBX systems.

Since VoIP phones enable telephone calls over the internet, otherwise referred to as the cloud, an existing WiFi connection is all you need to get started. No additional wiring required. Regardless of which VoIP phones you choose, setting up requires nothing more than plugging them in and having your IT team configure them to best suit your needs.

Are VoIP phones linked to individual phone numbers?

No, VoIP phones are associated with user accounts, not phone numbers. This allows you to switch between simultaneous calls on individual accounts.

Does a VoIP phone require wiring?

No. Your VoIP phone relies on your existing internet connection to make and receive calls. Traditional business phones require dedicated copper wiring apart from a network connection.
