Recently I participated in a dispute on the topic of whether an IP phone number is needed in an Internet business. Agreed that in most cases still need. Moreover, the SIP number will be in demand not only in the business related to the Internet. If a business is geographically separated, if you have to travel a lot, then an IP phone may be hardly the only optimal solution.
Usually, the barrier to a new technology is either doubts about the quality of voice over IP, or concerns about lack of experience. In most cases, we say to ourselves: "maybe I'll try tomorrow."
New Year is such a holiday, when you can tell yourself that “tomorrow” has already arrived: today, by purchasing a phone number, you can get a month of using this number for free - as a gift.
What lies under the tree?
Zadarma project
is holding a New Year promotion. A subscriber who has purchased a phone number in any city of any country from December 26 to January 6 will use this number for free during a month.
And also:
- 10% bonus on account replenishment
- free virtual PBX
- free fax, voicemail, call recording, site widget, etc.
How to get a gift?
No need to strain Santa Claus with letters, everything is much simpler:
- choose a country and city where you need a number
- top up account
- order a room
If you purchased your phone number from Zadarma earlier, you can still get a “gift month”. We extend the validity of the number (or numbers) for 2 months (in the personal account, the “direct number” section), we automatically receive the third month of use for free.
Users who need only outgoing calls will not be left without a gift. For them, there is a 10% bonus on account replenishment. After replenishing the account under the inscription "Deposit with a gift code" enter the code: promo2013. And until January 5, receive a 10% bonus on all payments.
Note that on one account you can get only one option gift: either a free month for all phone numbers, or 10% for all deposits.
Can you carry a gift?
If you are not sure about the Internet channel with which you plan to receive a number, you can test it for free before connecting. To test after registration, configure the program / equipment to accept / send calls, and dial the ping number 4444. In most cases, this is sufficient. But in certain situations (for example, 3 NATs one after the other or the program is registered only for outgoing calls), you can additionally check the reception of calls. To do this, use any of the free numbers with an extension. Connect the program / equipment to the SIP server and dial the internal SIP number through the extension number.
PS: The described tests are needed not for everyone. It is often more convenient to buy a number and set up call forwarding to another phone. In this case, the IP channel is not used and it can be not tested.
