In the following sections we will see a brief comparison between VoIP and traditional telephony services.

The biggest plus of VoIP services, unlike traditional telephony services, is the functionality and easy installation low cost. What everyone has to start using VoIP is a PC, broadband connection and an analog telephone adapter (ATA), a provider of VoIP services will offer customers as part of the transaction. There is no expensive infrastructure and the ATA in place, you can use their regular phone to make VoIP calls. With regard to costs, as most VoIP services charge less than $ 25 for all functions (such as caller ID, call waiting, conference and call transfer) during the traditional> Phone services are more expensive, with separate prices for local and long distance calls.

Another aspect that distinguishes between VoIP and traditional telephony services, educators' flexibility.

Then connect a regular phone and an Internet connection, you can make VoIP calls to another ATA on the same network withoutfee.

Again, with VoIP services, the customer can choose to virtual phone numbers in any place under the same VoIP provider. That is, if you want your friends or colleagues in another state on the phone to make calls to your VoIP at no additional cost or for local calls, all you have to do is reduce the number becomes a phone that state and had their calls forwarded to your ATA, regardless of your current physical location. In this way, the maximumthe caller may need to pay for the call to the cost of a local call to be. It is a structure that is non-existent in traditional telephony domain.

Finally, it is less taxing VoIP services. In addition to the federal excise duty, no other taxation of VoIP services, while a traditional billing service of the phone includes a number of other taxes and fees. That is, while it is possible for you to become a VoIP service for $ 20.5 (say), you can create atraditional telephone and for the same price, but may have to pay them money every month without even picking up a time to make a call.

Now, here are some of the disadvantages of VoIP services on traditional telephone services. VoIP is power dependent. That is, if not shut down, VoIP system includes redundant, just like your cordless phone or an air conditioner. Malfunctions may also occur if the broadband connection or go its developmentsome technical problems.

From the foregoing it is clear that VoIP services are better than traditional telephone services in most of the graves. But under the VoIP service providers may have different prices and the rules, then you may need a little 'market research before finally zeroing on a particular service. Keep in mind, the study of reference for the facilities and services offered by the player and do not necessarilyVoIP provider offers because it is the quality of service that ultimately counts. Good luck!
