VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol
Voice over internet protocol or VoIP is beginning to come into
it's own. The promise of cost savings over traditional phone
lines is driving this technology into the mainstream. Leveraging
your existing broadband connection to save on your monthly phone
expense at first glance makes sense. Let's take a closer look.
First off, can your existing broadband throughput handle the
additional strain of digital voice transfer? You can use your
favorite search engine (google, msn, yahoo, etc.) and search for
'VoIP broadband test' to get a general idea of the speed of your
connection. This is only the first consideration.
How is your existing broadband access coming into your home? If
you're using DSL then using VoIP for your 'primary' phone line
may not be an option. DSL availability without existing phone
service is not generally available. You should check with your
local phone company before canceling service. You just might end
up with no phone service, VoIP or traditional. Check first.
If you're using cable internet access and your connection speed
test looks good, find a VoIP provider that allows for a trial
period. You may find a good provider that offers up to 30 days
for you to cancel if you are not satisfied with voice quality or
service.
A VoIP converter and a router will be required to setup your
VoIP service. Your modem would plug into your router. Next
your
converter plugs into your router and your phone base plugs into
your converter. Most normal phones should work fine. There isn't
any 'special' phone required to use this type of service. The
entire process is pretty painless, but if you should run into
any issue, your provider should be ready to help.
If you're looking to leverage your existing broadband internet
access to save money on your monthly phone expense, VoIP can be
a great option. Just remember to check your connection, check
with your local phone provider (for DSL users) and find a
provider that offers a money back trial period. This can be a
great way to save money, but don't be pressured before you know
the facts. Even if it doesn't work out for you now, keep your
eye on this technology.
The FCC is already involved in the apparent conflict between
VoIP service providers and DSL access. E911 service (Enhanced
911 service) is already being mandated and additional steps will
be made to bring this technology further into the mainstream.
Make no mistake about this technology. It has arrived and is
here to stay.
