Voice Over IP (VoIP) --
Calling over the Internet
VoIP
Telephony, known in the industry as VOIP Telephone is the
transmission of telephone calls over a data network like one
of the many networks that make up the Internet. If you regularly
make long-distance phone calls, chances are you've already
used VoIP Telephony without even knowing it. There are many
service providers which support VOIP Free Phone Calls. Most
VoIP providers route calls from leased Public Telephone (PSTN)
local telephone lines to a gateway server that converts analog
voice into data packets. From there, the data packets move
over the public Internet or a private backbone to its destination,
where it goes through another gateway, rolling over to a PSTN
local line. Some of the featured service providers include:

What
is VoIP? Voice over Internet Protocol offers some unique features:
- Receive
your voicemail via e-mail as .wav files. BroadVoice
and AT&T let you permanently delete them from your inbox
or your phone, so you only have to do it once.
- With
a softphone from Skype or Vonage on your laptop, you
can make calls from any Internet connection in the world.
Domestic long distance is free, and international rates
are as low as a few cents a minute.
- AT&T's
"Do Not Disturb" feature lets only emergency
calls through and can be activated over the Internet or
scheduled to begin and end at set times.
- Choose
your area code, swapping your 212 for a 415 if you live
in New York but mostly call the Bay Area.
- BroadVoice
offers a Wi-Fi phone, which lets you talk over any free
hotspot. By next year, Motorola will offer a hybrid cellular
Wi-Fi phone that will roam seamlessly from one network to
the other. (From

Voice-Over-Internet
Protocol:
From
FCC.com What is VoIP/Internet Voice? VoIP allows you to make
telephone calls using a computer network, over a data network
like the Internet. VoIP converts the voice signal from your
telephone into a digital signal that travels over the internet
then converts it back at the other end so you can speak to
anyone with a regular phone number. When placing a VoIP call
using a phone with an adapter, you'll hear a dial tone and
dial just as you always have. VoIP may also allow you to make
a call directly from a computer using a conventional telephone
or a microphone.

The
meaning of free speech: The
acquisition by eBay of Skype is a helpful reminder to the
world's trillion-dollar telecoms industry that all phone calls
will eventually be free. .....Vodafone counters that, like
BT, it is moving towards internet-based networks that will
reduce its own cost of carrying calls and make possible new
value-added services. But this sounds unconvincing. Much more
so than fixed-line operators, mobile operators would have
to cannibalise their current business in order to generate
new revenues from VOIP. Ironically, this means that BT, once
regarded as a dinosaur-like incumbent, is now being held up
as a shining example of an operator that is embracing the
future, while Vodafone, whose pure-mobile strategy once seemed
visionary, now stands accused of being on the wrong side of
history. At the end of the day, there is no getting around
the reality, as Skype's Mr Zennstrom says, that “something
that is a great business model for us is probably a terrible
business model for them.” - Economist
VOIP
a major threat to fixed lines:
Experts figure that fixed-line
telephony, will come under pressure from cheap/free calls
made over the Internet, forcing them to change business models.
"We believe voice over IP represents the final transition
to a communication environment ruled by the internet protocol.
This is significant, as it signals the end of the telephone
system as we know it," said UBS analyst Uberto Ferrari.
"The way a telco does business is likely to radically
change." -

Caution
: Most of these low rates offered by the Telcos
and VoIP providers come with a catch - You need to call during
off-peak hours. If your calling plans differ, do read the
fine print. Do your research before signing up for any long
distance service. Of course, it goes without saying caveat
emptor - Buyer beware.
