Hosted VoIP PBX vs. Hosted IP PBX
I’ve noticed that there are two terms floating around which mean the same thing, hosted IP PBX and hosted VoIP PBX. But which is better? Let’s get to the bottom of this now.
Why call it Hosted VoIP PBX?
Hosted VoIP PBX has been the accepted term for some time now. It’s established, people know it and it has VoIP in it. Now VoIP obviously stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. So it suggests within the term that one of them main purposes of this system is to project your voice over the Internet.
What Hurts Hosted VoIP PBX & VoIP Phone Sound Quality
There is a misconception that if you have a good VoIP phone your calls will sound perfect. While this does play a role, it is important to realize that your hosted VoIP PBX and the components which go into making that service successful are equally important.
What makes Hosted VoIP Calls Sound Bad?
Bandwidth
This issue is pretty clear to most people. Bandwidth is the rate of data transfer which your Internet service provider enables.
How to Choose the Right VoIP Phone
As the size of the VoIP phone industry increases, so does the amount of phone options available to consumers. Choosing the right phone out of the pool can be difficult, but if you focus on these points you are sure to select an option which will work well for you and your business.
What Size Display Should Your VoIP Phone Have?
VoIP phone displays come in a variety of sizes. Ask yourself if you want a large display, small display, medium display, or if you even care?
What are the Different Types of VoIP?
Hosted VoIP PBX is not the only type of VoIP solution out there. There is actually three types of VoIP. There is PC to PC based VoIP, PC to VoIP phone calling, and VoIP phone to VoIP phone calling.
If you are going to use a VoIP phone, you’ll want to take a VoIP speed test first. Watch this video to learn more about the different kinds of VoIP.
Which Smart Phone is Best for Hosted VoIP PBX App Developers?
BlackBerry, Google Android and the iPhone all offer different pros and cons to those developing applications to integrate with hosted VoIP PBX systems. So how do they all match up when compared to each other?

Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
Working with a cutting-edge technology like hosted VoIP, it’s not hard to find inspiration. We’re constantly pushing the envelope to build a better, faster, and stronger technology for our customers, and we love to hear feedback on how we’re doing. But today I thought I’d share different source of inspiration – one of the more peculiar, mildly-aggravating, but mostly hilarious signs that you’re doing something right:

Just Released Google Public DNS Excites Hosted VoIP PBX Fans
As hosted VoIP PBX fans we love Internet and tech news. So in this vein, we get jazzed about releases from giants like Google.
On 12/03/2009, Google announced the release of a new tool, Google Public DNS, and it has all of us fidgeting in our seats.
So what is it! Well, without getting too technical, DNS means Domain Name System. DNS is an important part of a hosted VoIP phone system. A hosted PBX phone, like those used with FreedomIQ, use DNS to resolve the address associated with the servers that the phones register with. While it is important in hosted VoIP PBX, it is also a very important for the Internet as a whole.
