Chances are, VoIP calls are being made by each and every one of us, every time a long-distance call is placed by us, which makes more sense for us to actually switch to a VoIP desktop video phone. It is very likely that VoIP is already being used by many telephone companies simply for the purpose of streamlining their networks. The bandwidth that is being used for the long overhaul can be substantially reduced by them, if they route thousands of telephone calls into an IP gateway through a circuit switch. Once a gateway on the other side of the call receives the call, it decompresses, reassembles and routes it to a local circuit switch.
Although this may not be possible at the moment and may take time before it happens, however, soon packet-switching technology is likely to replace all circuit-switched networks, which are in use today. When it comes to economics and infrastructure requirements, the adoption of VoIP technology starts making even more sense. VoIP desktop video phone systems are being installed by more and more businesses and the growth of the popularity of this technology keeps on continuing as it makes its way into our businesses and homes. Even the flexibility and price are two perks of this technology that should be encouraging corporate and residential users to make the switch.
With VoIP, calls can be made from anywhere as long as broadband connectivity is accessible. Since the info of VoIP desktop video phone systems is broadcasted over the Internet, it becomes possible for a provider to administer them anywhere an Internet connection is available. So, like mobile phones, VoIP videophones can also be carried by travelers on trips. The only difference is that it is their home phone that remains accessible to them even when on the go.
Currently, instead of minute-rate plans structured like mobile phone bills, a fixed reasonably priced monthly fee is charged by VoIP desktop video phone service providers. These are unlimited plans, which means unregulated charges are eliminated and a wide range of free features are included, so quite the cost savings can be enjoyed by users. With a majority of the VoIP companies, the features that are charged extra for by normal telephone companies are offered for free. These include:
3 way video call
Caller ID
Call transfer
Call waiting
Repeat dial
Return call
Some of these VoIP desktop video phone carriers also offer advanced call-filtering options as well. In these features, caller ID information is used to grant users the ability to choose how they want to handle calls from a certain number. In which case, a call from the number can be:
Forwarded to a particular number
Sent directly to voice mail
Given a busy signal
Given a "not-in-service" message
Sent to a funny rejection hotline
With many VoIP services, the video and voice mails received on the phone can also be checked on the Internet. Since the prices and services can vary from one VoIP provider to another, doing a bit of shopping is recommended. So now it must be quite understandable why switching over to a VoIP desktop video phone is sensible.
