That fateful night, Jimmy was staring through the shop display at all the nice computers for sale, running their demos. The shop next door was a pharmacy, and one of their computers was on too.

Jimmy reached into his backpack and took out the small device he had assembled the night before from plans he had downloaded. He pushed the small button and the amplified speaker let out a shrill series of tones. He quickly looked around, but nobody had heard him. All the computers diligently downloaded the toolkit he had placed on a specially crafted website

By tomorrow, Jimmy will be a millionaire as his trojan makes its way around the world. Mum would be proud, if she were still here. He slowly wandered off to return to his small wet space under Bridge Road, with his soggy sandwich in hand. Tonight's meal would be his last here. He smiled to himself and quickly looked up and whispered "thank you google".

Why IP telephony is about more than just saving money

and oneday when your small company grows a bit and moves to bigger premises you have zero voice downtime. Just be careful of vendor lock-ins where an extra IVR is £5/month, and extensions are charged per user and so on....vendors LOVE making money from voice addons.

If you have the capability, use something you own (perhaps asterisk etc) and manage yourself, and choose your inbound and outbound providers for numbering/outgoing calls (and leave them if you are unhappy, its just a sip trunk afterall)

5000 extensions? scripted, up and running in 3 minutes Sir. We live in interesting times
