Common Questions About Cheap VoIP Phones in the UK

1. What is a VoIP phone, and why is it cheaper than a regular phone?
VoIP phones can’t use regular phone lines. They don’t use phones; instead, they use the internet to make and receive calls. It cuts down on a lot of network fees, so calls to and from the UK and other countries are free or cheaper, and your monthly costs are lower.

2. Will I still be able to use my phone number if I switch to VoIP?
Yes. It’s easy to switch your landline number to a new VoIP service because most UK providers let you port your number.

3. Can you still hear calls clearly on cheap VoIP phones?
Yes, for sure. If your internet connection is stable, VoIP calls can sound clearer than calls made over a regular phone line. That’s why they have features like noise cancellation and HD voice.

4. What speed does my internet need to be for my VoIP phone to work?
Usually, one line only needs one Mbps up and down. For businesses with more than one user, fiber broadband is faster.

5. Is it simple to set up VoIP phones in the UK?
A lot. Most devices will work as soon as you plug them in. You can connect them directly to your router or Wi-Fi. You don’t need to pay an engineer to come to your house and change the settings. You can do it online.

6. Will VoIP phones still work if the power goes out?
No, not by default. You should have a backup battery or a way to route calls on your phone in case the power or internet goes out. This is because your router and power supply need each other to work.

7. Do inexpensive VoIP phones have smart features?
Yes. Most basic VoIP systems let you forward calls, send voicemail to email, keep a phonebook, record calls, make video calls, and use apps like Zoom and Teams.
