Hey 👋

We hope you are well!

In this week’s newsletter, we’ll be discussing continuity for VoIP telephone systems — including advice on what your system can do, whether or not you have an internet connection.

Let’s dive right in.

💡 FACT OF THE WEEK

According to a KnowBe4 report, 32.4% of untrained end users will fail a phishing test. 😬

Pair this with the fact that 65% of people reuse passwords for some — if not all — websites, and it becomes evident that it’s critical you train employees to correctly identify and disregard phishing emails.

These shocking statistics bring us onto this week’s Knowledge Boost, which focuses on identifying phishing emails and how to deal with them.

📝 BUSINESS CONTINUITY WITH VOIP

Ever wondered how some businesses just keep ticking along smoothly, even when the unexpected hits? Well, a big secret in their toolkit is Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP for short. It’s like the superhero of communication, stepping in to save the day when things go sideways. Let’s chat about how VoIP is making business continuity a breeze:

Wherever, Whenever: One of the coolest things about VoIP? It lets you and your team work from literally anywhere — all you need is an internet connection. Office flooded? No problem. Need to work from a cabin in the woods? VoIP’s got you. It’s all about keeping the conversation going, no matter what life throws at you.
Growing Pains? Not Here: Businesses change, and so do their needs. VoIP is like that super adaptable friend who’s always up for anything. Whether you’re expanding or just need to dial things back for a bit, VoIP systems flex with you, ensuring that your communication needs are always perfectly met.

With any telephone system provided by Optionbox, there are built-in continuity features that you can use — even without an internet connection. For example, if your internet goes down, you can forward all calls to any other number, including a mobile. Or better still, “twin” staff mobiles to the phone system so their mobile rings at the same time as the handset.
