VoIP is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to completely rework the world’s phone systems. VoIP has been around for a number of years and usage is growing steadily. The potential of this emerging technology is massive and it will more than likely one day replace the traditional phone systems entirely. There are three different ways to use our VoIP service.
ATA
The simplest and most common way is through the use of a device called an ATA (analog telephone adaptor). The ATA allows you to connect a standard phone to your computer or your Internet connection for use with VoIP. The ATA is an analog-to-digital converter. It takes the analog signal from your traditional phone and converts it into digital data for transmission over the Internet. You simply take the ATA out of the box, plug the cable from your phone that would normally go in the wall socket into the ATA, and you’re ready to make VoIP calls. it’s a very straightforward setup.
IP Phones
These specialized phones look just like normal phones with a handset, cradle and buttons. But instead of having the standard RJ-11 phone connectors, IP phones have an RJ-45 ethernet connector. IP phones connect directly to your router and have all the hardware and software onboard to handle the IP call. Wi Fi phones allow subscribing callers to make VoIP calls from any Wi Fi hot spot.
Computer to computer
This is certainly one of the easiest ways to use VoIP. All you need is the software, a microphone, speakers, a soundcard and an Internet connection from us.
