Have a favorite small or home business phone system tip? I’m looking for help!

BeBizzy Break Podcast : Episode 48 – Can You Hear Me Now?

I am currently having a problem with my phone.

A few weeks ago, my mobile phone connection has significantly dropped off in my home office. I’m in a basement with only a small window directly above my head to the outside world. I get nearly no bars on my phone connection, and my 4G LTE is suspect.

So, I’m looking for some possible solutions to make phone calls with my clients a reality. So far I’ve considered :

• Skype In and Out
  • Relatively cheap
  • Sound quallity is suspect
• Ooma & Vonage
  • Extra equipment including a desktop phone
  • Upfront cost then relatively cheap
• Grasshopper and RingCentral
  • Established, proven product
  • Little bit more expensive per month
  • Still needs some additional equipment
• Other VOIP Solutions
  • Cost is low
  • Worried it goes away in a year
  • Technology is sometimes good, sometimes a little sketchy.

So let me know what you’re currently using if you are also unable to go exclusively with your smart phone, and we’ll talk about my decision in a future podcast!
