Because Internet telephony is not yet as widespread as cell phones, for example, it is less well known among people and in particular mobile operators, which compete with it by spreading myths and untruths with relish. The technology behind small business VOIP phone systems carries many advantages and has been accused of many things, which are not true, at best. This does not change the fact that phone calls over the Internet are much cheaper than any other telephony technologies in Vancouver, BC are.
The reason for the lower price is quite simple. Mobile operators had to build their expensive and expansive networks (laying wires, building transmission stations, etc.). Meanwhile, the VOIP operator uses an already existing network, called (you guessed it) "the Internet". Their costs are so much lower and therefore their prices are far cheaper.
The advanced models are use a personal computer as an intermediary and need the appropriate software. The unique advantage lies in low cost, because in addition to the computer itself, you just need to have a microphone and speakers. These components have long been standard on commercially available laptops and a desktop PC can take the necessary hardware for a price of barely a few dollars.
Software is available either for free directly from the service provider, or you can download free-ware or paid products from a number of sites dedicated to such technology. As with the hardware solution, it is necessary to set the login parameters. The computer must also be connected to a sufficiently fast Internet line.
To use VoIP services, it is not necessary to have a land-line or mobile phone, all you need is only a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. This may be via an already fixed line - ADSL, mobile network - GSM, wired, Wi-Fi, or others. In recent times, even phone calls via landlines are no longer implemented via analog data transfer, so they are technically Voice Over IP as well.
The technology is a digital service and therefore goes about converting analog signals to digital on the side of one party and the opposite conversion from digital to analogue telephony with the other party. This transfer is done via codecs. They are clearly predefined and approved procedures on how to convert analog audio to digital.
You can combine a call from VoIP with a land-line or GSM user and vice versa. Of course, there is also the possibility of using corporate communication servers, digital PBXs, gateways and more. Basically - the data is the same as any other stream, differing only in its content. A good example is streaming video, when the server provides the user data and the device (computer or mobile phone) decodes the packets and displays the result on the screen, then the sound through the speaker.
You may wonder what it means to digitize a voice transmission. Currently, you have primarily three ways to use Voice Over IP - Using a special phone, software, or using a client located in your cellphone. Getting started with this is neither hard, or confusing and the savings your business will make shall prove to be invaluable. Unlike most cost- saving investments, this will not on offer savings in the long- term, but right now as well.
