ï¼ Considering upgrading your internet bandwidth since data and voice transmission will now be on a single connection – it is still cheaper though.

ï¼ Decide whether you will need a soft phone or an IP phone handset.

ï¼ Conduct basic staff training for feature familiarity and maximization.

Basically that is all that you need on your end and you are ready to go, most of the set up and upgrades and maintenance happens in a server level which is on the providers end. Once you have the log in details you can immediately make calls and receive calls.
