While the “work from anywhere” wave surged in 2020–2022, many companies have since adopted hybrid models rather than staying fully remote.
Current data indicates that only around 12% of U.S. employees work fully remotely. In comparison, more than 60% operate in hybrid arrangements, highlighting the need for communication tools that support flexibility, reliability, and mobility.
That’s why businesses are still asking: Is VoIP the best choice for remote workers?
For most, the answer is yes, especially when the right hardware, software, and support back it.
In this post, we’ll break down the benefits of switching to a VoIP phone system, compare top VoIP phone brands, and explain why Decibel, Losh’s flagship platform, is built for the way modern teams work.
What Is VoIP and How It Benefits Hybrid and Remote Teams
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) replaces traditional phone lines with internet-based calling.
This means your business phone service can live anywhere your team works: on a desk phone, computer, or mobile device, without sacrificing features or professionalism.
Advantages for hybrid and remote teams:
- One business number, regardless of your location
- Access to the same features whether you’re in the office or remote.
- Flexibility to expand or scale back users as your team changes.
Benefits of Switching to a VoIP Phone System
If you’re still relying on legacy landlines, here’s why VoIP phone service is often the best choice:
1. Lower Operational Costs
VoIP typically offers lower per-line costs and cheaper long-distance or international calling, eliminating the need for expensive on-site equipment.
2. Consistent Business Presence
Whether calling from the office, home, or a mobile device, your customers will always see the same business caller ID and experience the same high call quality.
3. Cloud Phone System with CRM Integration
With Decibel, employees can take calls on their mobile device, laptop, or desk phone — all on the same number.
4. Scalable for Growth
Adding or removing users doesn’t require physical rewiring! Just a quick update in the system.
5. Built-In Business Continuity
If one location loses internet, calls can route automatically to other devices or locations.
These are the key benefits of switching to a VoIP phone system, and with Losh + Decibel supporting your setup, you can enjoy all these advantages without the usual complexity.
