Move your business phone system to the cloud with Nextiva's hosted VoIP. Stay connected with your remote teams and slash 60% off your phone bill.
Cloud VoIP or hosted VoIP is a business phone service that routes calls through the internet.
Most hosted VoIP systems come with advanced features like auto attendant, call recording, video conferencing, and long-distance calling.
VoIP, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol, takes the audio from phone calls and transforms it into data packets.
The data is sent over the internet and does not require the use of telephone wires unlike traditional phone systems.
By using your existing internet connection, cloud VoIP can reduce business phone system costs and outages.
Your remote team can take their business communications software with them — wherever they go, even on Wi-Fi.

Concerned about how much bandwidth a cloud phone system can use? A rule of thumb is about 100 kbps upload and download speeds per line.
Most internet service providers offer gigabit speeds, so your current connection may be fast enough for a VoIP phone system.
Convert your existing analog telephone to a SIP phone with an ATA. Or, purchase a hard phone.
VoIP hard phones are similar to traditional phones but let you connect to an IP network. You can easily get a SIP-enabled hard phone under $100.
You can also use a softphone, which lets you make and receive phone calls from your computer, smartphone, or tablet. It works like any VoIP app.
