As a matter of fact, VoIP has become so affordable and so advanced where its features are concerned that keeping the old phone lines just isn’t worth it anymore.
Switching over to a completely new technology is always a huge step in anyone’s life, especially when it comes to something big like moving existing fax systems over to the cloud.
