Hot Conference a unique Voip communications software

There was a dreadful time in history when the telecom
regime (local phone companies) held consumers captive by
charging high prices for phone service. To make matters
worse, this regime would nickel and dime consumers to death
for additional features like voicemail, call waiting,
caller ID, and call forwarding. Not to mention their
customer service or lack thereof, was and still is a
horrifying experience. This long history of monopolizing
the telecommunication industry has finally come to an end.
It's time for a regime change. Consumers now have an
alternative – introducing VoIP.

VoIP, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol, is a
technology that allows you to make phone calls over an
existing Internet connection instead of a regular (analog)
phone line. Some services that use VoIP only allow you to
call other people using the same service, usually done when
making PC to PC phone calls.  Other services allow you to
call anyone, anywhere (as long as they have a telephone
number) including: local & long distance, mobile, and
international numbers. This type of VoIP service allows you
to use a traditional phone that plugs directly into a phone
adapter.

The great thing about VoIP is that all the additional
features are included in the monthly fee. These features
include: unlimited local & long distance calls into the US
& Canada, voicemail, call waiting, caller id, three-way,
just to name a few. Most VoIP service providers typically
charge between $20 and $25 dollars a month.

VoIP is a revolutionary technology that has the potential
to completely redesign the entire world's communication
infrastructure. VoIP providers have already been around for
several years and growing at a tremendous rate. Currently,
there are over 6 million users of VoIP worldwide and that
number is growing exponentially.

FAQ About VoIP

1.  Can You Provide Me With a Brief Explanation of VoIP?
VoIP allows you to make phone calls over an existing
Internet connection. VoIP converts a voice signal (analog)
from your phone into a digital signal that then travels
over the Internet to the desired location. It then converts
the digital signal back to analog so the person on the
other end can hear what you are saying.

2. How Do I Make a VoIP Phone Call?
The first step of making a VoIP phone call is to subscribe
to a service. Once you sign up for service, the VoIP service
provider will then send you a broadband phone adapter, which
plugs directly into your internet connection. You will then
have to plug your existing telephone into the phone adapter.
Lastly, all you have to do is pick up the phone and dial
the number.

3. What Kind Of Equipment Do I Need to Use VoIP?
You need three things in order to use VoIP:
1) A high-speed Internet connection (either cable or DSL);
2) A broadband phone adapter (provided by the VoIP service
provider); and
3) Any standard (analog or digital) phone.

Is there a difference when placing a local or long distance
call when using VoIP? Not really. VoIP phone calls are made
just the same way as traditional calls are made. When dialing
local calls, all you have to do is dial 7 digits (555-1212)
and when dialing long distance, all you have to do is dial
11 digits (1-408-555-1212).

4. Can I Call Anyone Using VoIP?
Yes. You can call anyone, anywhere as long as they have a
valid phone number. It can be a local call, long distance
call, international call, cell phone, toll free, 911
(assuming they have E911 capability) and 411 directory
assistance. Most VoIP providers will not allow calls to
900 or 976 phone numbers, nor will they accept collect
calls.

5. What are Some Advantages of Using VoIP?
1.  Cost - Most VoIP providers charge between $20 and $25 a
month.
2. Unlimited calling in the U.S and Canada.
3. All the features are included (voicemail, caller id, call
waiting, 3-way, call forwarding and much more)
4. VoIP is portable. You can take the phone adapter anywhere
where there is an existing Internet connection, plug it in
and make calls as if you were at home.
5. The ability to choose your own area code. You can live
in New York and choose to have a California phone number.

6.  Are There Any Disadvantages of Using VoIP? Yes.
(a). If the power goes out in your home you will also lose
your Internet connection, which means that your phone service
will also be down. Some VoIP service providers offer a
feature that allows customers to designate a forwarding
number if their Internet connection goes down for any
reason.

(b) Not all VoIP Providers offer E911. This means that if
you call 911 from your VoIP phone, it may not go to the
local public dispatcher. Rather, it will get routed to an
answering service first.

(c) Call Quality. At certain times of the day, the call
quality of phone conversations will suffer. This could be
due to bandwidth sharing, or slow Internet connection.

7.  Do I Need a Computer to Use VoIP?
No. Although most VoIP customers do have a computer, one is
not needed. The broadband phone adapter simply plugs into a
router (or modem) to get a connection.

8.  Can I Use VoIP When I Travel?
Yes. You can use your VoIP service wherever you travel as
long as you have a high speed Internet connection available
and you bring your broadband phone adapter and phone with
you.

9.  How Will I Know if Someone is Calling Me from a VoIP
Phone? You won't. The VoIP phone works just like a
traditional phone. The quality and experience is that good.

Join the rebellion aimed at overthrowing the
telecommunications industry by force. Switch to VoIP today
and start saving tomorrow.
