Not so long after I left my home in 2000, I discovered this great technology called VoIP phone service. VoIP which is pronounced as "V-O-Y-P" and stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol is a system that lets you place and receive telephone calls through the Internet.
VoIP is also known as IP Telephony, Digital Phone, Internet Phone and Voice over Broadband. So don't be confused when you come across these terms. They all mean the same thing.
Previously, people ignored VoIP because of its quality and because it didn't resemble a regular phone handset. However, it has improved and nowadays preferred over traditional telephone service known as POTs (Plain Old Telephone Service).
I like how Google summed up telecommunication history in this short video...
Here are how some VoIP phone service and systems advanced overtime...
✔ Residential consumers
✔ Businesses - regardless of their company's size
✔ International students
✔ Refugees and landed immigrants
✔ Tourists
As you can see VoIP is a win-win option for everyone.
To be fair, VoIP does have drawbacks like any other service. But very few. For instance, it can be frustrating if you end up with a wrong VoIP provider. Other than that, the advantages are much greater as you will see below.
See! It is not just about carrying your voice. It helps you eliminate your high charges, increase your productivity and strengthen your communication.
