Fiber Optics Revolutionized Telecommunications

Fiber optic technology has revolutionized telecommunications. Fiber optic lines are strands of thin pure glass that carry digital information over long distances. (They are also used in medical imaging and engineering.) Fiber optic is considered extremely reliable and that is why it is used by so many toll free phone service carriers. All calls made to toll free phone numbers acquired from Tollfreenumber.ORG go through fiber optic lines. This technology reduces the number of dropped calls and bad connections. When investing in your own toll free phone number, it is advisable to deal with a provider than can offer fiber optic technology.

VoIP No Better in 2009

One of the main problems is that the Internet wasn’t designed to transmit voice data. The result has been delays, audible static build up and plenty of dropped calls. In some cases, callers can’t even make a VoIP connection at all. Even the FCC has reported on the problems with VoIP.

Fiber Optics is the Better Way

Some companies such as Tollfreenumber.ORG exclusively use fiber optic technology. Other toll free number providers still use the less reliable VoIP. This is something to consider when choosing your service provider--in some circumstances with VoIP, when the power fails, phone calls cannot be transmitted at all. No power means no phone service? Think about the problems that could cause.

Round-The-Clock Communication With 1-800 Numbers.

It’s 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. A New York customer is calling your West Coast office. But it’s 7 a.m.—you are still at home having your first cup of coffee while your office phone rings and rings. Two hours later when you get to work and return the message, the customer has already moved on and is dealing with your competitor.

Round-the clock access is vital to many companies, especially during the current economic recession. We all know times are hard. Customers are shopping less, spending less. When they do reach out, you need to be there.

When a client or customer calls outside the typical 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. workday or from a different time zone, having your toll free phone calls forwarded to your home or cell phone—or to an assistant who can help them—is one of the surest ways to keep business flowing during these weak economic times.

With toll free phone numbers from Tollfreenumber.ORG, businesses are offering round-the-clock access and giving customers immediate replies. Customer satisfaction increases, creating return business and generating new clientele.

With toll free phone service that can be routed to any company representative, customers can reach a business 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Business owners acquiring a 1-800 number from Tollfreenumber.ORG can have their customer inquiries routed to landlines, cell phones, voicemail, fax machines, and even to email.

Toll free phone numbers give companies the advantage of communicating with potential customers 24 hours a day. In a soft economy, this can keep a vulnerable business afloat.

In the past, toll free numbers were only available through select phone companies at a very high cost that precluded many small business owners from participating. Now, companies like Tollfreenumber.ORG offer affordable toll free service using advanced fiber optic technology that ensures clear long distance connections.

VoIP in 2008? No Better.

The use of VoIP technology has been the subject of much discussion in the past couple of years. Still, here we are in 2008 and the problems associated with VoIP don’t appear to have been solved. More specifically, sound clarity and quality, reliability, and interoperability standards are still issues for VoIP users.

VoIP was once predicted to be the upcoming premier telephone service. Some speculated that calls made over the Internet would have the best clarity and be the most reliable. But so far, this just isn’t the case. VoIP service is no better in 2008 than it was in 2007.

One of the main problems is that the Internet wasn’t designed to transmit voice data. The result has been delays, audible static build up and plenty of dropped calls. In some cases, callers can’t even make a VoIP connection at all. Even the FCC has reported on the problems with VoIP.

These substandard calls can be annoying and frustrating for customers and ultimately bad for businesses that use VoIP systems for their toll free phone service. A customer calling to check out a new business or discuss shipping options may decide not to tolerate these disruptions during a conversation and move onto to deal with a competitor.

Fiber optic technology eliminates these problems. As the use of toll free phone service expands, the popularity of fiber optics is also growing. In fact, many subscribers are now demanding fiber optics over VoIP. You should too. Deal with a service provider that exclusively uses fiber optic technology.

Simply put, fiber optics used for telecommunications is generally considered more reliable than VoIP, particularly for long distance calls, and has fewer interruptions and clearer connections.
