Solitaire, Im And Now Phone Calls, All From Your Pc
By Sarah Deak
I never thought I would see the day when the telephone became a tried, old thing of the past, but it seems that it has indeed become so. One may think the new technology is the wireless phone, but even cell phones have been one upped by a new technology called voice over Internet protocol, or VOIP. VOIP is used to transmit calls over the internet and is the latest way for low cost international communication. This technology routs voice conversations over the internet instead of through a line or wireless network. Now you can check your e-mail, be on Instant Messenger and talk to some one on the phone, right from your computer.
To use VOIP, a broadband Internet connection is required and it can also work in mobile phones that have high speed networks. VOIP can be transmitted over any IP network, even one that does not have connection to the rest of the internet such as local area networks. This service works well for businesses as it allows for free calling within their network. One of the companies that provides VOIP, Skype, offer the ability to make free calls between computers. However, fixed-line companies are not happy about VOIP as it has taken a lot of their traffics.
Under the VOIP umbrella there are two different types of VOIP services that can be implemented through public switched telephone networks (PSTN). The first of these is DID, which connects a caller to the VOIP user. The second type, access numbers, simply requires the caller to submit the extension number of the VOIP user in order to be connected. In most cases, VOIP used through access numbers are charged to the caller as a local call and are of no cost whatsoever to the VOIP user. DID users pay a monthly fee, but there are also some DID that pose no cost to the VOIP users but charge the caller.
It seems as though the benefits of VOIP are endless. Such a calling systems radically reduces the cost of international calls since calling becomes roughly the same as sending an e-mail. No extra costs are implemented beyond the cost of an internet provider. Another carrier of VOIP, 3 Italia, offers tariffs of $0.05 an hour and allows those subscribed to call fixed telephone lines in countries such as Japan, China, Australia and most of Western Europe.
VOIP is also easy, allowing incoming calls to be automatically transmitted to your VOIP no matter where you are connected to the VOIP network. If you wish to take your VOIP on vacation with you, all you need to do in connect to the Internet in order to receive incoming calls. Such versatility allows for connection anywhere with a fast enough Internet connection.
Also, there is no need to worry about losing all your favorite features by switching to a VOIP phone. Call forwarding, automatic redial, 3-way calling and other traditionally fixed-line features are also available with VOIP. It is also possible
