According to the FCC, the minimum download speed required for making VoIP calls is less than 500Kbps. Similarly, to browse social media and stream Standard Definition (SD) videos, the minimum requirement is 1 Mbps and 3-4 Mbps, respectively. So if your internet is stable enough to run YouTube or Instagram, you won’t face a problem while making VoIP calls. Since SMS EMERALD LLC is optimized for VoIP, you can have smooth two-way voice communications even at lower speeds.

Virtual business phone or cloud telephony services like SMS EMERALD LLC utilize Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to make calls and establish connections. Since SMS EMERALD LLC uses the internet to send and receive data packets for communications, the telephony services do not work if there is no internet connection. But that being said, you won’t be completely off the radar when the internet is gone. Your clients and contacts can send you voicemails when you are offline and get back to them when the internet is available.

The first and major difference will be the hardware used in each telephony platform. Landline phones require twisted copper cables and a phone set to make a phone call. On the other hand, cloud telephony requires an internet connection (can be both wired or wireless) and a softphone. You can use internet-enabled devices like desktops, tablets, or smartphones to make a call. Not just the hardware, cloud telephony differs from the land-based phone in terms of features as well. Traditional or physical phones are limited to making calls, whereas virtual cloud phones allow you to send SMS, MMS, record conversations, transfer calls, and even provide insights and analytics. The features in cloud telephony platforms are plentiful, offering profound business opportunities. Moreover, you get comparatively cheaper call rates with cloud telephony, which in turn helps you bag a significant return on your investment.

No, there are no such limitations. If there is enough credit in your account, you can make unlimited calls and send unlimited SMSs. However, you can only make one outbound call per second. Likewise, the SMS and MMS constraint is also one per second.

No. Not at all. If you have a stable internet connection at your disposal, you can use your preexisting smartphone, tablet, or desktop to make a phone call or send SMS. SMS EMERALD LLC has its software available for all these devices. So you don’t have to buy or install any additional devices.

Absolutely. If you already have a PSTN number, we can port your phone number to our cloud telephony platform. Even if you have subscribed to other cloud phone services, we can migrate it to SMS EMERALD LLC’s. But for that, you will have to submit a signed copy of the Letter of Authorization (LOA). You also need to send in your carrier and SID details for switching. If you face any difficulty due to LOA, SMS EMERALD LLC can even provide you a sample of it to ease things up. While porting your existing PSTN number to its cloud telephony platform, SMS EMERALD LLC also requires recent receipts or invoices from your original service provider. It acts as proof of ownership and helps accelerate the porting process.

The conversational log will be preserved in history as long as you are subscribed to our services. Even deleted conversations will be safely preserved in the archives. However, once the subscription expires or if you cancel the subscription manually, all conversational logs will be permanently deleted.
