The switch is usually driven by cost and by staff who are no longer all in one building. Below is what actually changes, what it costs, and where VoIP genuinely is not the right answer.
Your voice is digitised, compressed by a codec, and sent as packets over the internet to the provider, which connects the call to its destination — another VoIP user, a mobile, or a traditional landline. The call sounds ordinary to everyone on it; what changes is the infrastructure carrying it.
Salamtalk uses the Opus codec at roughly 50 kbps per concurrent call, with sub-15ms voice latency across the core network. Because calls are software, features that once required dedicated hardware — menus, queues, recording, routing rules — become configuration rather than capital expenditure.
Salamtalk plans are $15, $25 and $40 per user per month, with a 14-day free trial and a custom Enterprise tier. The per-user figure is the easy part of the comparison; the saving against a legacy system usually comes from what disappears alongside it.
A premises PBX carries line rental, a maintenance contract, hardware depreciating on a five-to-seven-year cycle, metered long distance, and engineer time for every move and change. Our free VoIP cost savings calculator models the comparison including the one-off cost of switching.
Less than most people expect. At roughly 50 kbps per concurrent call on Opus, a 50-person office where a third are on the phone at peak needs well under 1 Mbps for voice — capacity almost any business connection already has.
Size by concurrent calls, not headcount, since multiplying total staff by the per-call figure dramatically overstates the requirement. The bandwidth calculator works this out including protocol overhead and headroom.
Rarely because of insufficient bandwidth. Voice is sensitive to jitter — variation in packet arrival time — and to packet loss, not to raw throughput. A connection with plenty of spare capacity still delivers poor audio if voice packets queue behind a large file upload.
The fix is prioritisation rather than a bigger circuit: apply QoS so voice is handled ahead of bulk data. Buying more bandwidth to solve a jitter problem is the most common and most expensive misdiagnosis in this category.
Worth saying plainly. If your internet connection is unreliable and you have no backup path, moving voice onto it concentrates two failures into one — though mobile failover mitigates this for most teams.
If you have a fully depreciated PBX, low call volumes, no remote staff and no need for new features, running the existing system for a few more years can cost less in pure cash terms. VoIP wins clearly when you have distributed staff, changing headcount, significant long-distance volume, or a PBX approaching end of vendor support.
Business VoIP is a phone system that carries calls over your internet connection rather than traditional phone lines, replacing on-site PBX hardware with software accessible from desk phones, laptops and mobile apps.
Usually, though not always. The saving comes less from the per-user price and more from eliminating maintenance contracts, hardware refresh cycles and metered long distance. A fully depreciated PBX with low call volumes can be cheaper to keep running for a few more years.
Yes. Porting is free with Salamtalk for local, toll-free and international numbers. Keep your existing service active until the port completes, which is controlled by your current carrier.
No. Calls work from a laptop or mobile app with no hardware at all. If you prefer desk phones, any SIP-compatible handset works, and existing SIP phones can usually be reused.
Calls route to mobile numbers or alternative destinations you configure in advance. The platform runs geo-redundant failover under a 99.9% uptime SLA, but that covers our infrastructure — your office connection needs its own continuity plan.
