Voip reliable enough for small business?

[Mobus]

A family member is moving their business from a currently shared office (with telkom land line) to a home office.

Not missing calls to set appointments is critical. Which would you recommend for their primary business number: telkom land line, a vodacom/mtn mobile phone or a voip number over adsl/fibre?

I haven't used voip much, especially for business. How reliable is it? How does pricing compare to telkom or vodacom?

We use Vodacom Fiber with VOIP and it's been extremely stable, might have been off for a few minutes here and there, but otherwise very good for the past two years we've had it.

That being said, we don't make a lot of calls, see below breakdown for last month

VoIP depends heavily what last mile connection you have. Fibre is ideal for VoIP.
