One of the most creative services introduces by VoIP is the speed dialling. The service basically speeds up your dialling process by providing you the option to store your most frequently dialled numbers on specific keys, so that you have to press one or two keys on the key-pad in order to call the number saved on that key. Multi-ring is another option, which can also be useful for homeowners having multiple telephones or mobile phones. You can configure this option so that if you get a call, it rings on all the phones at your home. When you pick any one of them, the rest of them cease to ring.
Another very useful feature in the VoIP services bundle is the do-not-disturb option. Using this option, you would not be disturbed if anyone is calling you. The calling party will be prompted to drop in a voice mail so that you do not miss the call completely. This feature is extremely useful when you are busy in a meeting or some critical task, or when you want some silent and relaxed sleep and want to be cut-off from the rest of the world. Some providers give the option to apply this feature on specific groups of people in your contact list.
Similarly, the multi ring option is used where there are a lot of mobile phones, or telephones in a home, or office. By configuring this option, when you get a call on one number, all the phones shall ring simultaneously. By picking up any phone, the rest will be silenced, and you shall be connected to the caller.
The above mentioned are just a few among the many useful VoIP services. VoIP has truly transformed our lives and brought us a lot closer in terms of communications.
