Voice Over IP - Understanding What VoIP Has To Offer
Advantages and Features of VoIP
Studies suggest that millions of households will soon be using
VoIP phone services in the next couple of years. One of the
reasons VoIP is catching on so fast is it offers a wealth of
features and advantages over traditional phone services. Here is
just a brief review of some of the benefits and features VoIP
has to offer:
Cost savings
VoIP technology allows consumers to save money. Most companies
currently offering VoIP offer plans that are less expensive than
many cell phone plans.
Competitive Features
Companies providing VoIP services are offering plans that
include standard features like Caller ID, Call waiting, Repeat
Dial and Three Way Calling.
Voicemail Superiority
You can check your mail while surfing the Web when using VoIP
technology. Better yet you can attach messages to emails using
VoIP and send them directly to consumers.
Flexibility
You can call someone from anywhere you have broadband access
when using VoIP technology. That means if you travel frequently
for business you can take an IP phone with you and access your
home phone if you need to. You can also attach a phone to your
laptop and place calls from anywhere in the world while
connecting to the Net. This is a very appealing option for
business consumers in particular.
Last but not least the technology VoIP uses is extremely
efficient, meaning your calls are placed through non congested
and inexpensive lines. This allows computers to communicate with
one another and accept information relatively easily, without
long waits or disconnects.
