How To Start A VoIP Business Successfully?

May 5, 2015, 11:04 pm

The world of communication technology is changing rapidly and moves much faster than any other industry. It has the potentiality to both improve on existing phone technology and greatly reduce phone costs. This rapid growing industry is not only saving the communication cost but also creating the worldwide business opportunities. Among them, VoIP wholesale is becoming an increasingly lucrative business model nowadays. Yet, many Small and Medium Business owners are understandably wary of the technology, having heard horror stories from their peers, or having had poor experiences due to bad VoIP implementations. It is a matter of hope that, with the right knowledge and the correct set of tools (technologies & software), it is possible to implement VoIP in a manner that is extremely reliable and effective
as well as profitable. This is the reason that makes VoIP so popular as a means of communication and business. Here we are exploring some of the basic concepts involving in setting up a dependable VoIP business. IP business usually doesn’t require huge initial costs and might be highly lucrative if done properly. This means that all peculiarities of the business must be taken into consideration.

Following are the prerequisites of VoIP business:

Hardware Equipment
Software
Clients- traffic consumers or resellers
Ensure sufficient Bandwidth

Hardware Equipment:

To run a VoIP business you should have some hardware. Hardware related to VoIP is Gateway, Router, a well configured PC or Laptop, LAN card and so on.

Gateway:

A VoIP gateway is a device which converts telephony traffic into IP for transmission over a data network. There are lots of VoIP gateways available today in the global market, and its demand has increasing dramatically and the prices also very reasonable. Analog VoIP gateways start at as little as $200. SBO a software solution for VoIP Termination works with any types of VoIP gateways.

A PC or Laptop:

You should have some basic idea about MS excel to generating bill for your clients. In addition, if you would like to apply software or bandwidth solution i.e SBO, you should have a PC configured with SBO ISO and your PC should be locally connected with Gateway Device.

Software:

SoftSwitch:

Most important software for VoIP is Softswitch. It is the central device in VoIP Company’s network. So, it is very important to select a high quality and stable softswitch which has integrated billing system, because billing is very important part of IP Telephony. It will help you to monitor and collect CDR (Call Detail Record) to generate bill for your clients. A quality softswitch should have the functionality of convertibility from VoIP to TDM (Interfacing with physical Switches) and complete switching and billing platform for IP based telecommunication service providers. For example, SyncSwitch, it gives users a wide variety of business model implementation possibilities including Calling Card, Call Shop, Call Back, PC to Phone, Mobile Dialer, Device to Phone, on net calling and so on. And also support all commonly use codecs.

Bandwidth Solution:

Beside this, you will need some (third party) solution to reduce business operation cost and to develop service quality. Synchronous Bandwidth Optimizer (SBO) is a complete solution for VoIP service provider. It reduces the bandwidth consumption by 80% which directly cuts down the operational cost. Moreover, it uses multiple internet connections for VoIP termination. This provides the opportunity to do business with low cost shared bandwidths and still maintain superior voice quality. As it has the ability to use multiple connections it can distribute the load evenly among the networks very efficiently and performs failover on demand.

Clients- traffic consumers or resellers:

Well, to run a VoIP telecommunication business you should arrange some clients or suppliers by yourself. They are the main contractors in VoIP business. The providers buy international VoIP traffic from their suppliers and sell it to clients. One VoIP company can be both your suppliers and clients as well. Your company should have corporate pages on internet communities. It will help you to communicate with your clients and other providers. Moreover, social media pages like facebook, linkedin, twitter and so on, is also a good source of marketing and communication. ...

BULK SMS

≪ Previous: How To Start A VoIP Business Successfully?

Bulk SMS, also known as bulk messaging or bulk text messaging is the act of disseminating SMS messages in large numbers so they are able to be delivered to various mobile phone terminals. This form of messaging is typically utilized by consumer brands, banks, enterprises and media companies. The messages are generally used for mobile marketing, enterprise and entertainment. However, banks often use them for fraud control. For example, if criminals are circulating a fake email that is asking people who have accounts at a certain bank to provide their social security numbers or other confidential information, these text messages can alert people to the scam so they do not fall victim to it. Bulk messaging is often utilized for reminders and alerts. However, it is more frequently used to send communications and information between customers and staff of various companies. Bulk messaging enables the delivery of SMS messages to large numbers of mobile phones that are located all around the world.

Bulk messaging software

In order to receive and send bulk messages, software is needed. There are many types of software packages specifically designed for this task that are available. These packages give their users the ability to send messages to as many phone numbers as they want. There are many different ways in which these phone numbers can be managed.

The vast majority of software applications that are designed to be used with SMS enable the user to upload mobile phone number lists with the use of a CSV or TXT file. Systems that are more advanced are capable of automatically deleting any numbers that are repeated. There are also systems that can be programed to validate all of the mobile phone numbers before the messages are sent to them.

Enhanced software features are also currently available that allow users to schedule messages to be delivered at certain days and/or times. Bulk messages are also able to be sent on mobile networks that are international or national, assuming that the provider of the bulk messaging software sends internationally.

Bulk messaging portal

Bulk messaging features can be added to websites through the use of this specific online script. Unlimited mobile phone numbers can be added to the list of numbers to send messages to. There are a wide variety of ways that can be used to manage these numbers.

Bulk messaging API

The majority of services that handle bulk messaging use the API's (Application Programming Interface) listed below. These enable the addition of functionality to programs by their programmers:

Email
HTTP
SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

Immediate benefits of using bulk SMS messaging

When a particular business is not doing well financially, they need to utilize various tools that can help them gain a competitive advantage in their specific industry. One of the main reasons that bulk SMS is so popular is its ability to lower operational costs while also generating revenue at the same time. Bulk SMS might be the only medium that is able to show a return on investment that is able to be measured. Wholesale SMS messaging is targeted, which makes it extremely effective at getting people to respond and generate revenue.

Reduces operational costs

Bulk SMS message transmission is more effective than email and less expensive than voice calls. There are thousands of businesses located all around the globe that utilize wholesale SMS as a way to communicate with their suppliers, employees and customers. There is a significant cost savings as a result of time being saved because actual voice calls to suppliers, employees and customers do not need to be made. A single message can instantly be sent to many people at the same time, as long as the person is located in an area with mobile coverage. The ability to disseminate information so quickly to a large target audience reduces communication costs while also generating revenue if used for marketing purposes.

Allows customers to be accessed easily

More people have mobile phones than have access to email or landline phones. Every mobile phone supports the use of text messaging. All mobile phone users are comfortable using this technology because it is simple and easy to understand. This makes wholesale SMS the perfect medium to use for communication with customers. There are also no demographical or geographical restrictions. ...

Hosted PBX

≪ Previous: Asterisk sound files international

Hosted PBX is a service where the call platform and PBX features are hosted at the service provider location. The business end users connect via IP to the provider for voice service.

"Hosted" means to say that the hardware and PBX is hosted at an off-site location from where the VoIP telephone service is being used. An office can have VoIP telephone service that powers their phones in the office, but their PBX could be hosted at their VoIP providers data center, thus the term: hosted PBX. Hosted PBX is also sometimes referred to as Hosted VoIP.

Benefits of Hosted PBX

There are many benefits to using Hosted PBX rather than a traditional phone system, or an on-premise PBX. The main benefit is cost- a Hosted PBX system costs much less to set-up than an on-premise PBX. In many cases, there are no set-up fees for a hosted PBX system. Purchasing and setting up an on-premise PBX can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Hosted PBX phone systems fall under operational expenditure rather than capital expenditure, which also makes hosted PBX service attractive to businesses. With hosted PBX service, you pay a monthly fee, and the hosted PBX service provider takes care of the rest.

Another benefit to a hosted PBX system over an on-premise PBX is that hosted PBX service providers will take care of all the set-up and installation, meaning you do not need to be a telecom or VoIP expert in order to get a hosted PBX system. A downside to a hosted PBX is you may have a little less of an ability to customize your solution to your business, but many hosted PBX service providers can achieve a deep level of customization.

Wholesale VoIP Market:

There is no doubt today that VoIP is taking over the telecom market, and every month increases penetration into services and industries. Competitive carriers are looking at the numerous ways to make money from this exploding technology, but there's a lingering question as to whether it is profitable to deliver VoIP in a wholesale model? Their customers, typically Service Providers, are looking for their ‘competitive advantage' into this ‘lowest price' race, leveraging within three key alternatives for packet telephony : “build” , “buy” or “rent”. Business aspect, there’s no need to invest tens of millions of dollars in wholesale VoIP to join in. Many Telecom Companies have done the work for you. They offer a complete, turnkey VoIP business service and equipment. Now you can start wholesale VoIP business with virtually no investment and yet reap great dividends.

Wholesale VoIP Resellers:

In today’s world, Service providers seeking to deliver VoIP to as wide a customer base as possible may find that becoming a wholesale VoIP reseller is the way to go. Wholesale VoIP may be sold to both other service providers and to enterprises or residential customers.

Reselling IP telephony as a wholesale VoIP company is becoming an increasingly popular business model. For many companies, becoming a wholesale VoIP provider hits the sweet spot between profit and market control. Any firm with a well-established customer base is a good candidate for reselling wholesale VoIP.
Becoming a wholesale VoIP reseller is not a decision that should be taken lightly. It does, however, offer the potential of being very lucrative if done right.

Wholesale Consumer Demand:

An important characteristic of the industry is the complex segmentation of consumer demand and rapid change in the characteristics that are being demanded, both at the end customer and in the intermediate ones (wholesale customers).
Demand coming from ‘packed customers'? will be significantly different of the conventional telecommunications one, were telephony was the unique service to provide and differentiation was based on tariff-distance paradigm, being today's service offerings closer to data applications rather than telephony. Voice communication (and not old POT telephony) becomes the common feature into several communications applications and devices, but not the unique one.
Messaging, conference, collaboration, web contact centres, etc … requires a common communication format between parties, which is voice, implemented through VoIP technologies. Heterogeneous and rapidly changing customer demands and products are important dynamic influences on the evolving structure of the telecom industry, resulting into a new value-chain.
Telecommunication markets evolution will be driven by ‘packed customers' demand rather than networks, technology or finance, changing many decades rules into this industry.

Finance in Telecommunication Industry:

Finance institutions had been influencing Telecomm Industry since the beginning, due the business itself was characterized by huge investments, big market shares and bigger capitalization, influencing in many cases top management, who addressed their strategy towards ‘stock' opportunities rather long term and solid business models. WorldCom crash has been an example of this ‘financial market' pressure and wrong business management.
Today, the networks has been deployed. New scenario in Telecoms enable new players to deploy services over broadband without proprietary network and this new generation business will not be anymore capital intensive, let's say these will be innovation intensive.

U.S. VoIP Market:

The US market for VoIP advanced dramatically in 2006-2007, adding 3.8 million VoIP households in 2006, reports In-Stat: As a result, wholesale VoIP revenues grows quickly, as MSOs, Skype, and a myriad of new entrants most lacking network facilities enter the market and drive demand for telephony features and applications, the high-tech market research firm says.
As retail VoIP expands, wholesale VoIP will accelerate quickly, says Bryan Van Dussen, In-Stat analyst. The largest segment remains international VoIP, but we expect the market for local services to surge from 12% of all revenues to 27% by 2010.
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

Consumer VoIP adoption will drive wholesale VoIP revenues to $3.8 billion by 2010 from $1.1 billion in 2006.
In-Stat finds small businesses are driving the growth of hosted services in the U.S. Hosted VoIP seats in the U.S. ...

Virtual PBX is a budget-friendly form of hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that usually only handles inbound calls. A virtual PBX is typically intended for small business VoIP customers with fewer than 10 employees and low-volume telephone traffic.

Page Contents

What Is Virtual PBX?

A virtual PBX is an economy-class version of hosted PBX. Hosted and virtual PBX systems are business VoIP PBX phone systems that transmit calls over the Internet as data.

A virtual PBX offers inexpensive business VoIP telephone service to small businesses. As with a hosted PBX phone systems, a virtual PBX is owned and maintained off-site by a VoIP service provider. A virtual PBX enables a small business telephone system to access enterprise-level features such as auto attendants and voicemail. With virtual PBX small business telephone systems, small start-ups, mom-and-pop shops, freelancers, and entrepreneurs can all present a professional image to vendors, investors, and customers.

Depending on the service provider, a virtual PBX phone system may require a separate phone service for outbound calls.

Virtual PBX Features

Virtual PBX phone systems offer lower costs and fewer features than hosted PBX phone services. Compared to hosted PBX small business telephone systems, virtual PBX service is limited to the most basic fundamentals of business-oriented call controls. Virtual PBX is geared toward simple inbound call-routing for SoHo offices with few personnel, small budgets, and limited calling needs. As with many hosted PBX calling services, most virtual PBX phone systems do not require a contract or term commitment.

Standard features offered with most virtual PBX plans are:

Voicemail
Auto attendant
Unlimited call handling (no busy signals)
Call forwarding

Limitations

Virtual PBX phone systems generally:

Handle only inbound calls
Offer a limited number of extensions
May not include Fax over IP (FoIP) services
Include a set amount of free minutes
May not offer voicemail-to-email
May not include international long-distance coverage
May not offer Internet fax service
May charge extra for conference calling

The features offered vary by virtual PBX VoIP provider. As VoIP service becomes a more common solution for small business telephone systems, many virtual PBX plan features are incorporating the more advanced features of hosted PBX phone systems. Compare plans and prices to determine the best virtual PBX solution.

Cost

Virtual PBX phone prices depend on a variety of factors, such as the features included. Virtual PBX phone service plans can start as low as $9.95 (Grasshopper) per month.
