How VoIP Phone Works

VoIP for making telephone calls is a broad innovation to the point that occasionally, we use it without recollecting that the calls go through the modem associated with the Web, no longer through the physical telephone line. VoIP means “Voice over IP”: the voice turns into a datum shared with the IP correspondence convention, which sends different voice information. Accordingly, calls travel on the ADSL or optical fiber line rather than the customary phone line.

What Is VoIP

VoIP telephone calls are digital communications: the voice is an acoustic signal at the point when it goes over the right copper-turned pair, while on account of VoIP, it is decayed into computerized information parcels, which the modem sends with a recurrence that maintains a strategic distance from transmission delays. The outcome is an “ordinary” call, liquid, equivalent to conventional calls. It is vital to underline that the speed of the Web association influences the nature of a VoIP call if, as we do, the Web access supplier focuses on VoIP traffic. Subsequently, given a steady and quick enough association ( even an ADSL up to 7 Mega is fine), the smooth activity of calls through the Web is guaranteed.

How A VoIP Phone Call Works

During a VoIP phone call, voice isn’t the only digital data transmitted; it takes much more to make a phone call complete and successful from start to finish. There is other information entrusted to protocols that establish, manage and terminate each call in all its technical aspects, for example, to calculate the cost of a call based on the duration of the ring itself and the cost per minute. The protocols that manage VoIP calls are numerous. One of the most widespread is the SIP, Session Initiation Protocol, which is responsible for “recomposing” the voice transformed into data and making multiple calls and video calls possible.

When You Switch To VoIP, You Don’t Have To Change Phones

With VoIP, you don’t need computers, headsets, or microphones, just the home phone you’ve always used, which you will have to disconnect from the telephone socket and connect to the modem. If, on the other hand, you want to take advantage of the transition to VoIP to change phones, we suggest the DECT cordless phones, which are:

• Cordless, now a standard for home phones
• Wireless is the actual significant advantage because the phone’s base does not have to be connected to the cable modem but reaches it via WiFi so that you can place it anywhere in the house with a power outlet. This way, you can, for example, keep the modem in the living room and the telephone with its base in the bedroom.

VoIP Phone Numbers

Naturally, we are used to having a telephone number to make calls, and the same is true for VoIP. You Can:

• Activate one or more new VoIP numbers with the provider that provides the Internet connection or with a different provider
• Transform your landline number into a VoIP number: it’s the ideal solution if you’ve had your landline number for years and don’t intend to change it.
• Port your existing VoIP number to a new provider, asking for the portability.

Some important things to know about VoIP numbers:

• They are telephone numbers with a geographical area code, like the ones we have always used to use: if you ask to activate a VoIP number, the law requires that you ask for a number with the area code corresponding to the area from which you call.
• VoIP numbers from the same provider talk to each other for free because they are part of the same communications network. Two examples: if you activate many VoIP numbers with us for work in offices scattered throughout Italy, you are sure that your offices will always talk for free, and the same applies if you and your family are in different cities and regions and all are activated a VoIP number with us.
• VoIP numbers also call emergency and utility numbers.
• VoIP numbers also call mobile numbers and foreign numbers, and the convenience also extends to these calls.
