If your business or home office  is plagued by poor signal quality, dropped or missed calls and frustrating voice distortion, you may have considered turning to WiFi calling to save your business relationships and your stress levels. Wifi calling can overcome weak mobile signal issues, but it does have its limitations. Why not consider investing in a cellphone network booster, giving your business strong signal and allowing you to never miss an important call again.

What limitations does WiFi calling have?

Wifi calling has certainly grown in popularity over the past 5 years, due to poor mobile signal, and can work as a somewhat effective workaround for weak or non-existent signal. WiFi calling  worked by letting you make or receive calls using your wifi network, removing the need to have a strong mobile network signal.

However, for comprehensive and consistent mobile connectivity, particularly in larger commercial settings or businesses where relying solely on WiFi calling may not be sufficient, dedicated hardware solutions are often essential. Companies like Myamplifiers.com specialize in providing such robust equipment, including a powerful commercial cellphone network booster, to ensure seamless communication across an entire property. While that might sound like the perfect solution, let’s take a look at some of the disadvantages of relying on wifi calling.

  • Firstly WiFi calling, just like mobile reception, relies on good quality connection. If you experience unstable, slow or patchy wifi, this could result in call quality being poor, or experiencing dropped calls.
  • Not all devices support WiFi calling, so if you are using this solution for an office, not all of your staff may have this functionality. This could result in inconsistent communication across the team.
  • Most importantly, if your phone signal is non existent, and you are relying on WiFi calling to make calls, you can still miss all inbound calls. Only calls made by customers or clients calling your wifi number or through a wifi platform like Whatsapp will come through to you. Any calls made directly to your phone will be missed, which you won’t realise until you enter an area of good mobile signal. This could result in poor client communication and potential loss of business.

Why a strong mobile signal is a must for businesses

Having a strong mobile signal in your place of work is essential in providing the best service you can. Making sure your business remains connected and contactable has several advantages, let’s take a look at some of the main reasons to prioritise your mobile signal.

  • A strong mobile signal for your business provides reliability for your staff and your clients alike, resulting in less dropped calls, improved call quality and overall better communication.
  • All mobile devices and UK networks support cellular calling, this means that all of your clients and staff will seamlessly be able to use their mobile phones, without the need for additional apps or new devices.
  • Lastly, by providing a consistent and strong mobile signal throughout your business premises will allow employees to stay connected as they move about the office.

How a mobile signal booster could help

A mobile signal booster is a piece of equipment that can pull a strong signal from outside your building into the building, and amplify it across your office spaces, giving you a strong signal throughout your building. Signal boosters have been growing in popularity across the UK, due to their ability to provide reliable connection in an otherwise poor signal quality building. Some of the main reasons to consider investing in a commercial cellphone network booster are;

  • Guarantee strong and consistent signal coverage throughout your commercial building.
  • Increased productivity, with less frustrations caused due to poor signal and dropped or missed calls.
  • Improved customer experience, making sure your business is easily contactable and phone calls are of good quality.
  • Safety and compliance for lone workers.

WiFi calling or cellular calling: Which to choose?

WiFi calling is a great back-up option should any changes happen to your network, local cell towers or building upgrades, that may temporarily cause a disruption to your cellular signal. However, a strong mobile signal is unbeatable when it comes to improving overall business performance. By choosing to invest in a mobile signal booster, you can guarantee your employees and customers stellar service and reliable connection, that won’t damage your bottom line.
