How Much Does VoIP Cost?

VoIP costs often differ greatly between providers and plans, depending on the features, amount of users/devices, and international/mobile/toll-free numbers onboarded. Below, you can find a breakdown of the 12 best offers on the market today.

VoIP Costs Explained

So we’ve discussed the up-front price tags you’re expected to pay to leverage all the benefits the Internet offers. However, there are more costs you need to worry about. So, to help you budget for your new systems upgrade at least somewhat accurately, let’s take a look at the associated VoIP costs. 

Installation costs

The good news is that downloading a VoIP system on your device of choice is usually completely free. However, if you operate from an office and want to use dedicated VoIP phones (similar to landlines), you can expect to pay between $100 – $500 per device.

Beyond that, you should prepare to invest in high-speed Internet to guarantee the best possible experiences. LAN and QoS routers are optional, but highly recommended for on-site call center offices. 

Operation costs

On top of your monthly subscription, you need to account for whatever additional numbers you wish to onboard. Toll-free numbers can cost you $0 – $40+, while international numbers can go from anywhere between $0 – $180+ depending on your provider and chosen location. If you want to retain your company identity, you can choose to port your existing numbers. This can cost between $0 – $50. Also, you have to keep in mind that you still need to pay for your minutes called. Although VoIP calls are significantly cheaper compared to standard, they’ll still cost you a couple of cents per minute, as will each SMS.
