The fastest way to obtain small business VOIP phone systems is to purchase a Voice Over IP telephone and contact a provider. In essence, this uses exactly the same equipment as newer devices for ordinary calls. It differs only in the fact that the device can communicate on your local network, as well as everywhere in Vancouver, BC and beyond. Installing such equipment consists of a connection using RJ45 connector to the network and its settings. This is usually done through a web interface by typing the IP address assigned by the DHCP server (or static settings in the unit itself).
Your mobile providers would have you believe that Internet telephony is unreliable, having many failures and the like. Here is the point at which you should be yelling foul at them. You know from experience how often you can not reach a cell phone for "unknown reasons". Someone, the connection interrupts for no reason and you dial again and again, paying the operator all the way.
The advanced models are use a personal computer as an intermediary and need the appropriate software. The unique advantage lies in low cost, because in addition to the computer itself, you just need to have a microphone and speakers. These components have long been standard on commercially available laptops and a desktop PC can take the necessary hardware for a price of barely a few dollars.
An unreliable VOIP connection is usually achieved when you are using a mobile operator's Internet, or are "on the border of network coverage". A corollary is that Internet calling itself is very reliable and trouble-free. That holds true, as long as your Internet connection is not inferior.
The latest available solution is to use your cellphone as a mediator for the service. Again, there will be a need for additional software and you must still setup your login information. To connect to the Internet, this option will use either Wi-Fi or high speed data transmission networks.
Given that Wi-Fi Internet is now becoming more widespread, you can do beautiful mobile Internet calls, while you pay substantially less! Of course, if you prefer, you can do this "through a computer", for instance through the sound card, using a headset. The detractor would have you believe that when you make calls, you will get poor quality sound.
You can combine a call from VoIP with a land-line or GSM user and vice versa. Of course, there is also the possibility of using corporate communication servers, digital PBXs, gateways and more. Basically - the data is the same as any other stream, differing only in its content. A good example is streaming video, when the server provides the user data and the device (computer or mobile phone) decodes the packets and displays the result on the screen, then the sound through the speaker.
You may wonder what it means to digitize a voice transmission. Currently, you have primarily three ways to use Voice Over IP - Using a special phone, software, or using a client located in your cellphone. Getting started with this is neither hard, or confusing and the savings your business will make shall prove to be invaluable. Unlike most cost- saving investments, this will not on offer savings in the long- term, but right now as well.
