VoIP – The Technology That Keeps You Talking

For quite some time since its inception, the Internet was nothing
more than a virtual platform for people to meet and communicate with
each other in a non-verbal fashion. Apart from bringing the whole world
closer through chat rooms and emails, there wasn't much that the
Internet could do to connect users verbally. This scenario changed with
the entry of the VoIP technology that gave users a much needed verbal
communication platform.



As far as the development is concerned from a manufacturer's point of
view, it is just another usual turn of events. However, users have a
different story to tell about the VoIP technology, which has actually
narrowed the distance between them and their friends to a great extent.
Internet users can now talk to their friends and relatives over
Internet telephones or VoIP phones, to be precise through this
technology.



The VoIP technology works on the calculation of
transmitting voice calls over the Internet or through an IP based
network. Through this technology, two kinds of phone services are
available in the form of regular telephone adapter based VoIP phones
and software based VoIP phones. The former can be used to make and
receive calls to and from any phone, while the software based VoIP
phones need a computer to transmit the voice signals.



To enjoy the benefits of the VoIPtechnology, all you need is a
broadband Internet connection or your regular telephone that is
connected to an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) given by the provider to
get going. With several impressive options laid out through this
technology in the form of voice mails, caller ID, call forwarding,
etc., VoIP phone users stand to gain a lot.
