Your Regular Telephone Line Or VoIP Phone Service?
 
A mother from Miami, Florida has a son who is currently studying for his business administration degree at the University of North Carolina. She usually communicates to her son through their regular home telephone line.

Although she is willing to spend money just to check on her son at the university, she is now complaining about the high rates that the local Miami telephone company is imposing on long distance voice calls. Instead of communicating with her son regularly, she manages now to call twice in a month to save her money.

If you are just like that mother who wants to have a regular communication with her son but having a hard time budgeting her telephone bills, then VOIP phone service is the right one for you.

What is with the VOIP that will help you gain more savings? To start with, let us differentiate this new phone service from your regular telephone line.

The traditional landline phone you are currently using can be operated through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). A private network reaches into your home through the standard phone jacks attached in your wall.

Now, the VOIP or the Voice over Internet Protocol allows you to make calls by connecting your phone set to the Internet over your modem (cable or DSL). You will be using the ATA or the analog telephone adapter plugged into your broadband modem. This will convert the electric pulses from your phone into Internet Protocol packets that pass through the Internet.

These are now digital signals (against the analog signals from your regular telephone lines) that your phone will be converting into a much clearer and better voice reproduction quality.

To have a clearer picture, this is how it works. For instance, you dial your friend's number using VOIP phone service. Then he picked up the phone and say "Hello." Now, that voice converts into the aforementioned electric pulses and transmits it into the IP packets. Before it reached your earpiece, these pulses are again converted into the original voice and you will now be hearing his voice.

However, the conversion is quite complex, rest assured that this phone system uses the secure and reliable transmission of data from one end to another.

Now, what makes it advantageous over the regular telephone line? The point here is that the VOIP phone service is much cheaper.

If you will heard a phone service provider that will advertise that their unlimited local and long distance call packages can be availed for as low as $20 a month, and then they are using VOIP phone system.

Another is that some of the features of the regular telephone line are free of charge in the VOIP phone service. Broadband service provider offers features such as call waiting, caller identification, speed dialing, conference calls and others free.

All you have to do is to subscribe to a VOIP phone service provider. You must have a personal computer, a reliable Internet connection (if your Internet service cuts off occasionally, so as your phone service), a modem, the analog telephone adaptor, and a phone set. Then you are now ready to say "Hi" and "Hello" to your friends and relatives without anymore thinking the cost of your call to them.

If you are still undecided, here is a cue for you to consider–monthly subscription of $70 excluding long distance and international calls, or $20 worth of all the type of calls that you want, including other voice call features? It is now your choice.
