VoIP

VOIP is also known as Internet Phone. VOIP utilises a packet switched network, to send speech digitally, instead of through the older type PSTN ( Public Switched telephone network )

Voice over I.P. is not a new technology, in fact many of the large carriers use very similar technology to carry their long distance and international calls without you even knowing.

Phones VoIP was initially used in very large corporations during the late 1990’s . Recently more and more small and medium sized businesses have been using VoIP to cut their telecommunication costs.

Now home users can take advantage of the enormous saving VoIP can offer.

To take advantage of the savings, normally all that is required is an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter ). This adapter can normally just plug straight in your existing broadband modem.

VoIP has many other benefits as well. Some providers can even add an “incoming” number for a very small fee. This is a very inexpensive way to get a virtual “second line”

VoIP has many other advantages, for instance if both you and a friend or relative overseas have the same VOIP provider e.g. Engin. Then calls between both parties are FREE of call costs.

You will still need to pay any applicable data charges from your Internet Service Provider.
