Congratulations are in order! You've switched to Voip and you've got your very own touch screen Voice over IP desk phone, to ensure beyond all doubt that you will be the envy of all about you. You're feeling proud with yourself, thinking of all the money you'll soon be saving.
But there's still a couple of things you're not so sure about; a couple of the finer and more intricate aspects of Voice over IP systems and technology which you feel you now need to be bought up to speed on, just in case anyone asks. And so here are a couple of things which you may not be aware of - bonus features if you will, to help enhance your Voip experience.
Whether you're in a business that needs to call internationally on a regular basis, or a personal user who has relatives abroad that he likes to keep in touch with, making regular cross-continental calls can quickly mount up to substantial amounts.
But when it comes to making calls to other countries, IP phones are significantly cheaper than standard phones in both the short and long term. As well as this, one unique advantage of making international calls using Voip, is the option of purchasing a separate phone number in another country. This may sound strange, but is easy to understand.
Confused? You needn't be. The concept is actually quite simple, and involves nothing more than purchasing your own unique phone number in the country you wish to call. A number of companies already offer this service, with more set to jump on the bandwagon as demand for the service increases. Once you have purchased a new number in the country you wish to call, all calls to any other number in that country will appear to be coming from inside that country, meaning they will be charged at local rate. Simple.
Sounds good, doesn't it? As well as making standard calls internationally, making conference calls internationally through an internet telephone system is also a much cheaper and viable alternative. This is because Voip systems use a dial-out as opposed to a dial-in system, meaning one person can call all the participants for a conference call and therefore negating the requirement of anybody phoning in to the call, and saving significant costs for the participants.
As anyone with an eye on future events will contest, internet telephony is the future of telecommunications, wherever you are in the world. But despite this there are still a large number of people weary of making the jump quite yet, which is why a new range of dual mode handsets are available, allowing you to utilise both the internet or a landline in order to make and receive calls.
As the technology improves, so will the services offered by internet telephone companies, which in turn will encourage more and more people to switch to Voip communication. The negatives of owning such a system are few and far between and with the ever increasing quality of technology and services offered, soon there will be no negatives left, and absolutely no reason to not go Voip.
