It would be surprising if VoIP wasn't popular with so much going for it.
So what's so special about VoIP?
Can you imagine a technology for talking to your friends across the globe as
long as you like (or until they hang up on you) or maybe catch up with your
family members living away from you or across the street without worrying about
expenses?
VoIP is that technology. It lets you make
calls either free or at rates which you can't imagine with any regular phone
system in the world.
What Is Free With VoIP?
You can make pc to pc calls
to any place in the world without paying anything anytime. Register
with any of the free
VoIP providers, download its software and you are on for free
calls. The only requirement is that the person with whom you want to
call is also registered with the same free VoIP provider. This is how free
VoIP works.
Moreover you don't need any fancy equipment for making the free calls
either. What usually comes with the present day computers - mike and
speakers - would do, though you can go for other equipment if you like.
What Is Not Free?
VoIP calls to landline or
mobile telephone are not free.
But here also the rates are unbelievably low – around two cents a
minute for an overseas call and limitless domestic calls for a flat
monthly fee which could be around $25 a month.
The rates for overseas calls may vary from country to country and with
various calling
plans from the broadband
phone providers. But one thing is for sure - you pay lots
less, sometimes as much as 90%, than what a regular telephone company
would charge you for making such calls.
As if all this were not enough to make VoIP any body’s favorite, there
is yet another side to it.
Free Pc to Phone
Calling - Best of Both Worlds
This one beats both free and
paid VoIP. It goes beyond free VoIP to let you make phone calls to
landline phones but unlike in paid VoIP you don’t pay any money for
these calls. Instead you have to put in some effort here. Even then free
pc to phone calling is VoIP at its best if you have some time
for it.
With all this going for VoIP, do you still wonder why it is so popular?
