If there’s one thing the internet has successfully done, it has been making communication with the global community easier. Technologies have evolved from basic text transmission through BBS to instant messaging. Now, audio communication is now possible through the Internet with a VoIP phone. A VoIP phone can enable anyone with a broadband Internet connection to call and receive calls from any number worldwide.
VoIP stands for “Voice over IP,” IP being the Internet protocol used to send data throughout the Web. The technology of VoIP simply enables voice communication through the already-established supernetwork of the Internet. It is often a much cheaper alternative to conventional landline phones, and has soared in popularity over the course of the past decade.
In order to make VoIP work, engineers had to create a VoIP phone to allow telephone calling to be compatible with Internet technology. Consumers interested in using VoIP have two choices for a phone: a “hard” phone or a “soft” phone.
A hard VoIP phone is just like a normal landline telephone. Consumers connect the phone to the VoIP network and dial a number. The call is then transmitted through the network and they are then connected to the call recipient.
A soft VoIP phone, however, is nothing more than a software application that runs on a computer. There are many companies, such as Skype and Sipgate, that offer soft VoIP service without having to add any additional devices to a LAN. Depending on the service, users may have to purchase a subscription or buy minutes to make calls. Users must also purchase a phone number to receive calls through a soft VoIP phone. Once everything is created, a soft VoIP phone user just has to plug his or her microphone into the computer, dial a number, and connect.
For many homes and businesses, the use of a VoIP phone has replaced their conventional landline. Whether a consumer selects a hard or soft VoIP phone, he or she will see that VoIP offers a much more convenient method of telecommunication.
