What Is VoIP And How Does VoIP Work

VoIP will allow users to user their broadband connection to makephone calls over the Internet. The widespread use of VoIP hascaused a revolution in the phone industry.

With the VoIP service giving users the chance to makephone calls over the internet it is easy to see why this hasrocked the telecom industry.

VoIP at present is becoming the most cost effective way to makelong distance telephone calls. Before VoIP telephone serviceproviders had a strong hold on lucrative and 99% of the timeover priced long distance services. Due to the introduction of

Voip the long distance calling market has began to open to upto competition. The main reason for this is that most Internet

users will begin implementing VoIP. The main reason being thatVoIP 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 theearly days computer users were able to talk to one anotherthrough their computers. You were only able to do this if youhad a voice enabled computer with good Internet connection and

you would need to have a software program installed on yourcomputer.

The main advantage to this was that it allowed user to be ableto contact anyone from around the world for free aslong as theyhad the same setup as you.

The disadvantages to this system was that sound quality wasnever great, broadband was not being widely used and the useryou 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 appealto the wide spread market have been accomplished.

Broadband is now a widly used internet service. This allowsusers to have a stable internet connection that can always beon.

Secondly the VoIP industry has been able to develop asimple and inexpenisve way of integrating the IP network (akaInternet) with a traditional telephone system.

What this means is that VoIP users are able to use their owntelephone to call anyone else in the world who has thetraditonal telephone connection.

Traditional telecom companies such as Qwest, AT&T and Bell havedeveloped their own type of VoIP technology. This has givenconsumers a huge number of choices. Now anybody anywhere

with aboradband internet connection is able to call anyone anywhere inthe world who has a ordinary telephone connection.

Why VoIP Will Save You Money

The major advantage of VoIP is the low cost, with no significantdecrease 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 servicesthat includes unlimited incoming calls and unlimited longdistance calls to anyone in a defined geographic area. As anexample, VoIP unlimited calling plans to anyone in the US oreven Canada will only cost around $20 per month.

Third, virtually all VoIP service providers offer free bundledfeatures that virtually all traditional telephone corporationscharge for. These include free voicemail, call forwarding,caller ID, call waiting, call waiting ID, three way calling,speed dialing.

VoIPproviders offer better flexibility and portability

An additional important benefit is the flexibility andportability of VoIP phone service. With VoIP your individualtelephone number is programmed into the converter that acts as abridge between your internet connection and your regulartelephone.

This has many important benefits. As already mentioned you don'twant an actual land line. Instead your telephone number isassigned to your converter (not to your geographic land line).So you are able to take your converter with you anywhere in theglobe, plug it into any available broadband connection, andimmediately you can employ your regular number to produce andreceive calls.

This flexibility also lets you select a number in an area codewhere virtually all of your long distance calls originate. Forinstance, if many of your friends, family, business associatesor even customers are calling from a specific city thattraditionally involved an extended distance call for them, youmay pick a number in that area code and immediately turn alltheir calls to you into local (free) calls for them.

The benefits of VoIP are many, and the savings can be incrediblyimportant. So it's no wonder that VoIP has turned into thehottest telecom technology of the decade. Informed consumers andbusinesses around the globe are adopting this technology at aphenomenal rate.
