Hosted VoIP

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol and it helps to change the way of thinking to make long distance calls. Basically, VoIP technology translates analog audio signals (the sounds you hear when talking on your regular telephone) into a digital signal (which is then transmitted over the Internet).One of the interesting components about VoIP is that there's not just one way to make a VoIP call. There are actually three ways to make a VoIP call:1. VoIP via ATA: VoIP ATA is the most commonly used VoIP method right now. Using the ATA (analog telephone adapter), connect a standard phone to a computer or Internet connection. ATA is an analog to digital converter, and it takes the analog signal to the phone and converts it into digital data and sends to the Internet so you can make VoIP calls.2. VoIP via IP Phones: VoIP phone like a standard telephone. But a VoIP phone uses an RJ-45 Ethernet jack instead of the standard telephone RJ-11. Wi-Fi IP phones may be available in the near future, which will allow you to make VoIP calls from any Wi-Fi hotspot. This will allow you to take your VoIP phone with you when you travel, and stop in at any hotel or other location where you can use your Wi-Fi laptop and you can use VoIP technology to "phone home" from anyplace in the world.3. VoIP via Computer-to-Computer: There is no charge for long distance calls and there are several software companies that offer free or low cost at this time for you to use VoIP technology. You just need the software, microphone, speakers, sound card and a cable broadband or DSL Internet connection, and you can start using the VoIP service immediately. Except for the normal monthly ISP charges, no charges for each VoIP call from computer to computer.VoIP makes sense for the ROI. As per economic point of view, it may take a while, but eventually all existing circuit-switched networks, which are currently in use is replaced by VoIP technology to packet network. More and more businesses are already installing VoIP systems, and as VoIP technology makes its way into our everyday language, our lives, and our homes, it will continue to grow in popularity.Resource:Hosted VoIP
