A digital phone which is interchangeable used known as internet phone or voice over internet protocol (VoIP), has become increasingly popular in recent years. Some of the many advantages and disadvantages are:
Advantages
- Greater call clarity due to the use of a digital line
- Many services that local phone companies charge for, including caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and three-way calling; are included free
- Most providers include local and long distance calling and international calls to some parts of the world in the basic fee
Disadvantages
- A broadband connection is required
- The service isn’t available if your electricity goes out
- Emergency 911 systems won’t automatically know your location, because the signals travels over the internet
- No additional equipment necessary, other than the phones
- Can use the service in a power outage
- Caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, voicemail, three-way calling and other services are usually charged additionally
- Call clarity sometimes suffers

Under the Disadvantages section above, there are a couple mistakes:
Broadband phone providers offer you online account access, so that you can update your billing and location information. One of the things that you can update is your E911 location. So, if you put in the address where the device is located, when you call 911 the operator does see the location you entered into that field.
You don’t need special phones to use VoIP phone service. You can just plug any regular phone you currently are using into your VoIP adapter and it will work.
Almost every VoIP company offers Caller ID, 3-way calling and more for free. Since everything is done digitally with software/softswitches, there isn’t any reason to charge for those things, especially with the market as tight as it currently is.
I’ve used voip in my home and office for about 6 years now, and since I have a good high speed internet connection, and I have my VoIP router plugged in in front of my computers, they get dibs on the bandwidth, and my service rocks. VoIP is a great way to save money, and if you haven’t tried it you should, especially when you consider the phone service you are currently paying $40 a month for is probably being sent via VoIP.
Thank you for your thoughts!
my sister is very good in installing VOIP equipments and i really admire her for that.,”*
