I would say to use the internet and an IP phone connection, such as Skype.
It allows you to place calls through the internet They are either computer based where you buy the program and only use your computer to make calls or programs that use the actual ordinary regular or cordless phone to make calls but through the internet. Allows you to place calls over the internet to save money by not needing a phone service. Only regular monthly internet costs are needed. The catch it its only included with your internet if you are calling another IP phone. An IP phone is a great way to use your internet connection to call anywhere. Some great IP companies are Vonage and Skype.
The quality of your internet connection is the biggest factor in the quality of VOIP phone service. If you have good internet you'll likely have good phone service. Bad internet connections will give you poor VOIP service.
No it does not. All it needs is a voice network connection so that you can set up your palm profile and send and receive phone calls. For everything else you would need a internet connection.
VOIP stands for voice over internet protocol. This is used when you make phone calls over your internet connection instead of using a telephone connected through a phone line.
One of the main advantages of broadband internet compared to using a dial up service is the fact that your phone line can be used both for making calls and browsing the internet simultaneously. If you have a dial up connection, this ties up the phone line whenever you are using the internet connection.
Well, VOIP generally stands for "Voice over internet protocol". Which means that your internet phone or online phone calls are made by connecting to the internet connection. Yes, you can be a VOIP business for a cheap price because you would only have to pay for internet connection, since you would be an online business.
