Lower Phone Bills With VoIP Telephony
If you needed one good reason to switch from your conventional telephone to a VoIP phone, it would be this – the price. Did you know that you could significantly shave off the cost of making phone calls using VoIP phones? Not only is using VoIP phones more affordable, they are more flexible too. For instance, Versatek’s VX-168S VoIP phone.
The VX-1685 comes with direct IP address to IP address call mode, supports configuration via Telnet and Web Browsers, has a built-in H323 proxy supports to pass NAT and can even hold up to sixteen voice messages for when you are out or is too busy to answer calls.
Compared to conventional land lines, IP telephony just makes so much more sense because of the infrastructure requirements and it can better meet with modern day folks’ needs. At this point in time, many large businesses use VoIP services but it is only a matter of time before they make their way into your average American home.
On why VoIP calls are cheaper than the average packet-switching phone services, it is because each telephone call VoIP phone calls occupies less space when transmitted. For instance, if you made a 10 minute phone call to a friend in another country, the phone call would cost you and the service provider 10 full minutes of call time. With VoIP phone services, the 10 minute phone call may have only taken up 3.5 transmission time. And we are not even taking into account data compression yet.
What will really help you see the difference is that VoIP technology is not only cheap, there is absolutely no compromise as far as voice quality is concerned. It will save you a whole chunk of cash in telephone bills if you make a lot of international or long distance phone calls.
Some households love to make use of prepaid cards – would THAT be a problem when you switch to Versatek’s VoIP telephone? Absolutely not! The VX-168S phone supports prepared cards like Net2Phone and eTalk. For those who are wondering if using VoIP telephone will affect their internet services, the answer is ‘no, it will not’.
