You have seen the ads about VOIP and you want in on it if it is what it promises to be. But, before you do so, you realize you need to know a little bit more about it. VOIP is fast becoming the talk of the world, literally! People are seeing the benefits of it in their bank accounts as well as in their service experiences. VOIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol, is a way of communicating via the internet instead of using standard land phone lines.
What You Have to
Know.
Not sure how it works?
Just as your
internet connection can stay on, so can a phone system that is hooked up to it.
The phone runs through the web, allowing for you to talk to anyone, anywhere
without the need of expensive phone service. A great way to learn more about
VOIP is to take a free demo of how it works. You’ll find these throughout the
web.
How does it save money?
Another common
question people have is how VOIP can save you money. If you are one that spends
a lot of money each month on long distance phone calls, call waiting and
forwarding services… and all other gadgets available for your standard phone,
VOIP can save you money. It can do this because when you call through the
internet, distance simply does not matter. Does it cost you anything to email
your friend in China? No! And, neither does it cost to use VOIP long distance.
What do
you have to do to get it?
First, you’ll need
to ensure that you have the service available in your area. Next, you’ll need
to do some research to find out what the businesses can offer you in terms of
service and cost. Then, you’ll need to install software and simple equipment
and that’s that. You’ll likely pay a monthly payment as you do now, but it is
likely to be much lower.
VOIP is fast
growing because it is easy to use, affordable and quite possibly is the way of
making phone calls in the years to come.
