Free
VoIP
Make A
Free International Call - Now!
This is the most attractive
feature of VoIP. With it you can talk to anybody anywhere in the world
- free.
All you have to do is to sign
up with a VoIP service provider. Download its free software and start
talking to anybody who has the same software on his/her computer. The
best way to go about this is to email your friends and relatives to
download the software of the VoIP provider you have signed up with and
you are set to talk to your heart's content without ever worrying about
telephone bills at all. This is the cheapest voip solution in the voip phone
system. The only cost to you is your internet connection bill
.For talking
free you don't need any sophisticated equipment either. A headset would
be good but your regular speakers and small microphone can do the job
equally well. Another requirement is a broadband or dsl internet
connection.
How To Find Free
Internet Phones?
Almost all VoIP providers
give you this free service. Skype
is one of such free VoIP
service providers. But there are many others also that you
can find on the internet.. Try a few for voice quality and other
service features and then settle for the one that you find the most
suitable for your needs.
While broadband connection is
becoming cheaper and easily available all over the
world, it usually
costs more than a dial-up connection.
So if you don't want to go for or
cannot get a broadband connection, you may look for VoIP providers that
run on both broadband and dial-up connection.
Limitations
of Free VoIP
The totally free
VoIP service has certain limitations:
You can talk free only with
those people who are using the same downloadable voip software as you.
This is one downside of free pc-to-pc VoIP. To overcome this problem,
some VoIP providers have peer to peer arrangements with other specific
providers by which you can call users of other VoIP providers. But this
arrangement is not universal yet.
Another thing with pc-to-pc free VoIP is that the
person whom you call should be online when you make the call - this
means that you may not be able to reach the other person any time you
want as you can do with a regular telephone. This is the main
disadvantage of free pc-to-pc VoIP.
And naturally you cannot call
someone who doesn't have a computer.
Here is where Softphone
(PC-to-Phone) and Internet
Phone (Phone-to-Phone) VoIP comes to your aid.
With these you can talk to anybody with a regular telephone anytime you
want. And they are almost free compared to what you are used to paying
for the use of your traditional phone.
Near zero cost of Internet
Phones is enough to make them attractive any day but most have other
features that are even far more attractive and which no traditional
phone can provide. This is the reason of the growing popularity of VoIP.
