VoIP Services and Rates

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) VoIP Services are revolutionising the world's phone systems. Change the way you think about phone calls. VoIP takes analog audio signals and turns it into digital data that can be transmitted over an Internet connection.

At Orca we provide the latest VoIP features and technologies for our clients to take advantage of. Below are just some of the services we offer.

 WHAT DO YOU NEED?

At Orca we understand that traditional phone lines are expensive, so we work with companies who have existing on-site phone systems to provide them the benefit and reduced costs of the superior performance of VoIP. Even the oldest phone systems can take advantage of VoIP using a adapter device.

VoIP Trunk-Lines provide our clients with:

  • Reduced cost: typically 30-50% cost reduction
  • Scalability: additional phone lines and phone numbers can be added or removed at any time within minutes.
  • Flexibility: with no need for physical phone lines, things like office moves become much easier.
  • Reliability: even if your Internet connection fails all calls can be automatically re-directed to another office or mobile.

Trunk lines are purchased according to call capacity and are charged @ $10pm per line/phone call.

An unlimited number of lines can be purchased where the only limitation is the capacity of the internet connection being used. Each call uses up to 100Kbit/s, so on a 10Mbit/s Internet connection we will support up to 100 calls at once. Please note this connection speed is required on both upload and download basis.

We highly recommend the use of an Orca Internet connection to ensure call quality at all times. Our trunk lines can be used via any Internet connection, congestion will occur at some point on the open Internet connection between your site and Orca's data centre. The use of an Orca Internet connection removes any chance of congestion.
