Because Internet telephony is not yet as widespread as cell phones, for example, it is less well known among people and in particular mobile operators, which compete with it by spreading myths and untruths with relish. The technology behind small business VOIP phone systems carries many advantages and has been accused of many things, which are not true, at best. This does not change the fact that phone calls over the Internet are much cheaper than any other telephony technologies in Vancouver, BC are.

Simple models can be used for setting up through a provider, advanced devices allow you to connect to existing infrastructure like a digital PBX, or allow you to set up multiple operators into a single device. After setting the credentials and the unit is successfully registered to the network, you can work with your device just as you would on a conventional fixed-line model. The cost of this solution is far lower than a normal telephony operator's, and offers more comfort and continuous availability of services.

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.

To use VoIP services, it is not necessary to have a land-line or mobile phone, all you need is only a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. This may be via an already fixed line - ADSL, mobile network - GSM, wired, Wi-Fi, or others. In recent times, even phone calls via landlines are no longer implemented via analog data transfer, so they are technically Voice Over IP as well.

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.

Codecs are available in large variety, but it is not this function that could affect the actual end user. Selection is carried out by the service provider and the end user then selects only one or the other codec. Once the provider has have digitized the signal, you should be able to use the transmission with ease.

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.
