Many businesses today rely on using POTS. If you do, then that limits the number of phone lines and people with whom you could communicate.

POTS is an analog voice transmission phone system built over copper twisted pair wires that traverses across states, countries and continents.

It’s the same phone line technology that has been around since the 1880’s. But it is no longer feasible for businesses.

The Federal Government has issued new regulations. As a result, carriers no longer support POTS. So, your company will no longer be able to add new phone lines.

As your competitors start to use new VoIP technologies, you'll likely see your business potential decline fast while you stay with your old system.

Here are 4 ways why having a POTS can impede your business growth:

• Inability to communicate with remote workers
  
• Old phones are more likely to drop calls
  
• Increased difficulty to listen during calls due to decreased phone volume that declines over time
  
• Outdated parts can be hard to find and expensive to buy
