Voip

VoIP is a method by which calls can be made via a digital signal instead of a telephone line. The term VoIP stands for voice over internet protocol, and is basically the term used to describe the journey of voice signals via an IP address.

Internet calling services are designed to take over your traditional landline and long distance service provider. Instead of using the conventional phone lines and wires, VoIP (voice over internet protocol) calling connects your phone to either your DSL or cable modem through an adaptor box, using the broadband connection to place your call.

Many of the same features from your traditional phone service still are still available, including unlimited local and domestic long-distance calling, caller ID, voice mail, call forwarding, and call waiting.

Using computers is no longer the only way that people can communicate using VoIP. There are now telephone adaptors available that turn an analogue signal into a digital signal, and then back into an analogue signal at the other end. The adaptor connects the telephone into a special router which connects it to the internet. After someone has spoken into the telephone it travels through the adaptor, which converts the analogue signal into a digital one. The signal then travels through the internet to the recipient. If the person on the other end is also using such an adaptor it will then travel through their adaptor, which will convert the signal back into analogue.

As for the quality and clarity of the phone calls, many say you can't tell the difference. Advances in VoIP technology over the past few years have taken some of the quality issues out of the picture. There are far less outages now than even five years ago. Mostly, that has to do with the quality of your Internet service provider and weather or not your cable or DSL modem is working properly.

Is VOIP available where I live.

If you have broadband it's available, but that doesn't mean a local phone number for any given company is available in your area. You'll just have to check and see which VOIP providers offer a local phone number where you live. While I'm on the subject of local phone numbers I might as well let you know in many cases you'll be able to keep your current phone number when you switch to VOIP from a landline. Just check with your favorite VOIP phone service provider.
