Remember the days of pagers and beepers? We have certainly come a long way since then! Nowadays, everyone seems to have a cell phone. Some people have two smartphones; one for personal use and one for professional use. Due to this trend, there are millennials who have never even owned a land line phone. It is clear to see that the mobile phone industry helps propel the VoIP industry forward. 

There are companies out there that allow employees to use their own devices for work purposes. This phenomenon can be referred to as bring your own device or BYOD for short. It does not matter if you have a smartphone or a smartwatch, as long as you use it to check work emails. As you can see, it is becoming increasingly important for businesses to allow their employees to use VoIP applications on their own devices.

After all, VoIP phones allow employers to communicate with workers who are located virtually anywhere. With the introduction of 3G, 4G, 5G and hotspots, the need for internet access in remote areas has grown. VoIP applications can be utilized in the most rural areas.
