VOIP – stands for voice over ip. This basically means that you can communicate by voice over the internet. This is an amazing technology that I use myself. My initial concern with this technology was the reliability. I had questions like what happens when you drop an internet connection. What is the sound quality like? Is there a time delay between communications?
I can tell you when I first started to use it I was a little frustrated as I was familiarizing myself with the phone and phone settings. As I mastered the settings and knew how to trouble shoot or make changes when I needed to, things got a lot better.
The phone I use is an eyebeam Phone which you can get for free. The software provides you with all the necessary information to help you when starting out. In actual fact it is not that hard, even for somebody who may not be that savvy with software or computers.
With this phone I use a headset. This I find a godsend, especially since I can talk hands free and continue doing other tasks on the computer, I am sure you know what I mean, especially if you like to multi task.
You are not limited to a headset either and there is wireless technology you can use to enable you to move around. You can also use a traditional style phone that can plug into a box, and make calls like you normally would.
My suggestion to you like anything else is try it out. Keep your regular phone, and if you do not like it stay with what you got.

Not only does it cost less than your traditional phone service it also costs less than the vast majority of monthly cell phone plans.
The number of VoIP providers is increasing giving you more choices and better calling plans. VoIP is still at its developmental stage. The VoIP service is available for both commercial and residential use, ranging from PC-to-PC service, all the way up to phone-to-phone. The following are the basic features of VoIP.
Anybody with an internet connection has the basic capability to use a VoIP service and benefit from the cost savings associated with VoIP. A basic plan that offers a number of long-distance minutes is very inexpensive and if that’s what you need then VoIP will work perfectly for you.
VOIP is a method which takes voice phone calls and then encodes them digitally. Basically VoIP is the protocol that is used to send your voice over the internet. The VoIP technology transmits your voice over what is called an IP network.
Most everyone agrees that VoIP is the future of voice and data communications.. By the looks of it VoIP is going to continue to grow and expand. VoIP is the Wave of the Future–”and the Present. Although you may be intimidated by this new technology at present, my advice would be to learn more about this new service as it seems this technology is here to stay.
