Ok that's the
boring bit out of the way, what can VoIP actually do for you?
Because you are already on the internet, probably
paying a monthly broadband or dial-up charge for unlimited internet use
you can take advantage of VoIP services to make FREE phone calls.
Sound good? Sound too good to be true? Well nothing
in life is free but VoIP can be as free as you want to make it. If you
ignore the fact that you are paying for your broadband connection (you had
it already, right!) then yes, VoIP can let you make unlimited FREE phone
calls to anywhere in the world. What's
the catch? Well there are some and
VoIPFAQ.net
goes into more detail throughout the site
but the main one for making free calls is that it generally has to be done
via your computer using a free VoIP service such as Skype calling another
user using the same free VoIP service. Not
a huge deal, especially if you only intend to be using it for social use,
you'll only want to talk to your family and friends right? so with all of
your family and friends using Skype for instance you can speak to each
other completely free, wherever you might be in the world.
Businesses are waking up to this now and even they
communicate using free VoIP services such as Skype, transatlantic calls
become free and there's no need to rush your call, worried about how much
it might cost. If it's good enough for them
then it's good enough for you. |
