The Difference Between Softphones and Cell Phones

Lots of companies have relied on cell phones in the past for their on-the-go and remote business calls. But the times are changing. Now that companies are adopting more permanent work-from-home schedules, they need new ways to have streamlined calls. It’s one thing to have a business phone set up on your desktop in the office. And taking calls on a cell phone is another. Fortunately, softphones can give you the best of both worlds.

Business Phones and Remote Work Options

Cell phones are useful because they’re portable and versatile. Sales reps can call prospects and clients while they’re driving in their car, and cell phones allow teams to connect 24/7. But they aren’t exactly the best match for busy schedules, or even your typical office working process. So how can people create a functional (and comfortable) remote work solution? The answer, of course, is softphones.

With a softphone, you get the flexibility to work from anywhere with an internet connection, just like you would be at your office desk. Basically, a softphone uses software so your computer screen can mimic your typical desk phone functions. You can still put callers on hold, transfer them, and do other actions. Yet the softphone allows you do that from home, a hotel room, or anywhere else your remote work may take you.
