Recently we were contacted and asked:
Why is your system/service better than skype?
SureVoIP and Skype® are aimed at totally different markets and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. SureVoIP differs because:
- You can call us and have a contract
- Telephone AND email support
- 24/7 emergency number
- 999 and Directory Enquiries access
- Landline replacement business service
- Members of ITSPA
- ITSPA Quality Mark – http://www.itspa.org.uk/quality.html
- Number porting – move your existing telephone number to SureVoIP
- Fax to email service
- Voicemail to email service
- Direct Debit facilities
- Based in the UK and governed by UK law.
SureVoIP is a business VoIP service and it provides high quality and reliable VoIP connections with contracts and telephone support, not just email support.
Here is a quote from the very bottom of the Skype features page:
No emergency calls with Skype
Skype is not a replacement for your telephone and can’t be used for emergency calling
All the best VoIP providers in the UK are members of ITSPA.
