Making long distance phone calls usually means that you have to commit to
a long distance carrier through your phone company, and pay often steep
per-minute charges and fees just to call a friend or loved one. Often, the
cost of the phone call depends on the day and time of the day that you are
making it, as well as the location you are calling to. The minutes you
talk add up quickly, and the monthly long distance bill can be a shock to
your system and your bank account. Fortunately, there is an exciting
technology that is gives you the option of saying goodbye to traditional
long distance for good. It is VOIP is or Voice Over Internet Protocol, and
it's in the process of changing the face of long-distance telephone
systems forever. VOIP works by taking analog audio systems and converting
them into digital data, which can be sent over the Internet. This means
that your kitchen telephone could possibly become obsolete. It will not be
the only place to call friends and family that live far away. VOIP can
make your Internet connection, and your home computer, the place that you
make your long-distance phone calls - free of charge. Because you use VOIP
devices and software that are widely available, the phone company is not
involved. No phone company means that there are no hefty long-distance
charges for you to pay. VOIP is a convenient and affordable way to keep in
touch with those who live far away from you.
There are several types of VOIP devices available that can be used to
place calls from your home computer. They are relatively simple to use,
and often cost very little, if anything at all, to implement. They are all
commonly in use, and each provides a slightly different take on this
exciting technology. The most common device used in VOIP service currently
is the ATA, or Analog Telephone Adapter. This VOIP device allows you to
hook your typical telephone up to your home computer Internet connection.
This device converts the analog audio signal from the phone and makes it
possible to use over the Internet by converting it to transmittable
digital data. The ATA is simple for anyone to use. Just plug the cord from
your home phone that would usually go into the wall jack into the ATA, and
it is set up for you to call anyone anywhere in the world.
Another type of VOIP device is the IP, or Internet Protocol, phone. An IP
phone looks like a regular home telephone, complete with a handset and
buttons for dialing. But, rather than having standard phone connectors
(RJ-11), an IP phone is equipped with an Ethernet connection (RJ-45). This
VOIP device connects to your computer's router, and allows you to make
phone calls directly from your home computer, dialing it just like a
typical home telephone.
Yet another type of VOIP device is known as computer-to-computer. With
this method, long-distance phone calls are made free of charge. All you
pay is the monthly ISP fee you are already paying. Many companies offer
free or low-price software that you install on your computer. If your
computer is equipped with a microphone, PC speakers, and a sound card in
addition to your Internet connection, then you will quickly be set up to
talk to anyone in the world using VOIP. This is an extremely easy and
affordable type of VOIP device that allows you to keep in touch with those
far away from you.
As you can see, not only will VOIP change the way you make phone calls
forever, but it will save you money as well. Utilizing equipment that the
vast majority of us already have in our homes today, VOIP technology
provides consumers with easy and affordable options in long distance phone
service. With the exception of your current ISP's monthly charges, there
is little to no expense at all. And since there are several options of
VOIP devices from which you can choose, there is no reason not to consider
VOIP as your primary means of making long distance phone calls to far away
friends and family.
