What's HOT about VoIP?
Make telephone calls using your computer network on the Internet with Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) . VoIP uses your standard telephone to convert your voice to a digital format for transmission over the Net.
VoIp technology lets you make long distance calls using a broadband high speed Internet connection to anyone with a telephone line. Call locally, mobile users, long distance, and international phone numbers.
How simple is this VoIP thing?
Almost too simple! Order your VoIP phone service, take out the phone adapter from the box, plug the adapter in to your high speed modem, connect your phone and start calling!
That is it! Nothing more to it. No configuration, no software set-ups, no tech support to call.
Within 2 minutes you are up and running!
What can I do with VoIP?
Almost everything you can do with your existing telephone home line, you can do with a VoIP broadband phone and more.
Get Caller ID, voicemail, call forwarding, call conferencing included in your rate plan.
What do you need?
A high speed broadband Internet connection is required to use Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).
Examples of broadband connections include DSL or cable modem .
