You will also find the term 'Voip' used in company names offering
computer phone calling.
The term Voip is "standard talk" for making computer
phone calls. For example, when you say you're making
an internet phone call, you're actually making a Voip call.
It is believed that this technology will completely change the telephone
industry and could very well replace the traditional phone system. As an
example of their potential, according to Skype
they have already had over 100 million downloads of their free service
with 150,000 new sign-ups everyday. According to the Forrester Research
Group, approximately 5 million U.S. homes will be using a Voip service
by the end of 2006. The Mobile Voip market, according to On World, is
predicted to reach about 100 million users by 2011. They also indicate Skype may
hold 25% of the global market.
At the present time, Voice Over IP has three
different ways for people to utilize computer phone calling; ATA (Analog
Telephone Adapter), IP Phones, and Computer to Computer:
Computer to Computer would be the easiest and
cheapest way to use Voip at the moment. You can use this service free in
some cases. Acquiring the service is a simple download. If your computer
has speakers, sound cards and a microphone, you're set to go. There's
usually no charge with computer to computer and long distance is also
normally free.
IP (Internet Protocol) Phones are Internet
phones and almost exactly like a regular phone. The difference being
they have a connecter that connects directly to your
router. Also available are Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) phones. These are
mobile phones enabling you (without a PC) to make Internet calls to
anyone else around the world, simply by being able to access the
internet through a wireless connection. Another term to become familiar
with if using WiFi phones, is "Hot Spots". There are directories of WiFi
Hotspots online where people can search and find wireless access points,
or in simple terms..'where they can hook up to the internet using their
WiFi phone'.
ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) is the simplest
and most common way to use Voip. The analog telephone adapter lets you
hook-up a standard phone to your computer or internet connection. Some
phone companies are including ATA's with their normal service packages
offered to the public. With some ATA's you may have to download software
to your computer in order for it to work.
Along with the price, flexibility and savings on long distance, another
great attraction to Voip is the ability to take your internet phone when
you travel and always have access to your home phone. Essentially you're
able to make computer phone calls from anywhere.
Most Voip companies offer many of the same features as a standard
telephone such as caller ID, call waiting, three way calling and more,
and they're typically free for Voip users. Voip billing is quite similar
to the billing used for cell phones, such as package deals on a monthly
basis. However Skype
is currently offering some aspects of its service free for a designated
time period, as indicated on their site.
Digital telephone technology is here and is growing at very fast rate.
The potential for growth in computer phone calling isn't just huge, it's
inevitable.
