J & J Communications

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that enables voice transmissions to travel over the Internet rather than over traditional phone lines. Speech is converted to packets of voice data which are sent over a broadband internet connection to another phone where the stream of voice data is reassembled into its original form.

The same way you would with an ordinary telephone. The only difference is that you use an IP phone that is plugged into an Ethernet connection instead of a phone jack because the call is made digitally over the internet.

VoIP is much less expensive than traditional phone service, especially in cases of heavy long distance or international calling. It is also far more versatile than analog telephony with features such as voicemail-to-email, find-me/follow-me and simultaneous ring that can be managed from an online interface.

VoIP is a great way to reduce phone bills and to improve the professional appearance of a small office. Many features are included, such as Auto Attendants, Dial-by-Name, Virtual Departments and Call Queuing. These features can make the customer facing presence of a small business much more streamlined, professional and efficient.

Yes. We have a Call Groups feature that rings multiple extensions simultaneously.

Instead of having shared phone ‘lines’, each phone is an extension within the phone system that also comes with its own direct phone number. New accounts can start as small as a single extension and grow indefinitely.

Each active call with J & J Communications requires approximately 64 kbps up/down of bandwidth from a DSL, Cable, T1, or Fiber broadband connection.

Virtually none. The IP phones are plug and play and will arrive ready to make and receive calls the instant they’re plugged into a broadband connection, right out of the box. The account settings can easily be administered from our user-friendly online interface.
