What Is VoIP And How Does VoIP Work
VoIP will allow users to user their broadband connection to make phone calls over the Internet. The widespread use of VoIP has caused a revolution in the phone industry.
With the VoIP service giving users the chance to make phone calls over the internet it is easy to see why this has rocked the telecom industry.
VoIP at present is becoming the most cost effective way to make long distance telephone calls. Before VoIP telephone service providers had a strong hold on lucrative and 99% of the time over priced long distance services. Due to the introduction of
Voip the long distance calling market has began to open to up to competition. The main reason for this is that most Internet
users will begin implementing VoIP. The main reason being that VoIP is the most cost effective way to make long distance
telephone calls.
VoIP Development Process
Over the last 10 year VoIP has been slowly developing. In the early days computer users were able to talk to one another through their computers. You were only able to do this if you had a voice enabled computer with good Internet connection and
you would need to have a software program installed on your computer.
The main advantage to this was that it allowed user to be able to contact anyone from around the world for free aslong as they had the same setup as you.
The disadvantages to this system was that sound quality was never great, broadband was not being widely used and the user you were trying to contact would have to be online.
Today's VoIP has made these problems a thing of the past.
The two things that were required to make VoIP technology appeal to the wide spread market have been accomplished.
Broadband is now a widly used internet service. This allows users to have a stable internet connection that can always be on.
Secondly the VoIP industry has been able to develop a simple and inexpenisve way of integrating the IP network (aka Internet) with a traditional telephone system.
What this means is that VoIP users are able to use their own telephone to call anyone else in the world who has the traditonal telephone connection.
Traditional telecom companies such as Qwest, AT&T and Bell have developed their own type of VoIP technology. This has given consumers a huge number of choices. Now anybody anywhere with a boradband internet connection is able to call anyone anywhere in the world who has a ordinary telephone connection.
Why VoIP Will Save You Money
The major advantage of VoIP is the low cost, with no significant decrease in voice quality.
1st, a VoIP subscriber doesn't require a traditional phone line. Instead, you are assigned a phone number by your VoIP provider.
Prices for these calls can be as low as $9 per month. 2nd, virtually all VoIP subscribers will buy a "bundle" of services that includes unlimited incoming calls and unlimited long distance calls to anyone in a defined geographic area. As an example, VoIP unlimited calling plans to anyone in the US or even Canada will only cost around $20 per month.
Third, virtually all VoIP service providers offer free bundled features that virtually all traditional telephone corporations charge for. These include free voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, call waiting ID, three way calling, speed dialing.
VoIP providers offer better flexibility and portability
An additional important benefit is the flexibility and portability of VoIP phone service. With VoIP your individual telephone number is programmed into the converter that acts as a bridge between your internet connection and your regular telephone.
This has many important benefits. As already mentioned you don't want an actual land line. Instead your telephone number is assigned to your converter (not to your geographic land line). So you are able to take your converter with you anywhere in the globe, plug it into any available broadband connection, and immediately you can employ your regular number to produce and receive calls.
This flexibility also lets you select a number in an area code where virtually all of your long distance calls originate. For instance, if many of your friends, family, business associates or even customers are calling from a specific city that traditionally involved an extended distance call for them, you may pick a number in that area code and immediately turn all their calls to you into local (free) calls for them.
The benefits of VoIP are many, and the savings can be incredibly important. So it's no wonder that VoIP has turned into the hottest telecom technology of the decade. Informed consumers and businesses around the globe are adopting this technology at a phenomenal rate.
