Technology has gone a long way in making life easier for people. The telephone, personal computers, laptops, the internet, cellular phones, pagers are just to name a few. Now, there is another big thing in the market, what we call 'VoIP'. VoIP is short for Voice over Internet Protocol. It is also called by different names such as Internet telephony, IP Telephony, Broadband phone, Broadband telephony and Voice over Broadband. Sounds pretty techie, right? Now, what is this technology about? Good question. This technology allows one to make voice calls with the use of broadband internet connection or any IP-based network. This allows anyone to make local, long distance and international calls without using a regular phone line. Companies that offer VoIP services are commonly referred to as providers. Two of the most popular US VoIP providers are AT&T and Vonage. With this technology, you can make calls from anywhere as long as you have broadband connectivity.

How does VoIP works? VoIP is a revolutionary technology that converts your voice into a digital signal which will then be transmitted over the Internet. Before VoIP came to existence, voice communication between two places was completely analog in nature. This would mean that you voice is now going to travel over copper wire medium. With VoIP, phone calls are being routed through a packet switch and into an IP switched networks.

To use VoIP, you will need a high speed internet connection or what is called "broadband" such as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or cable modem. You will also need any of these three devices: computer, adaptor or specialized phone.

If you are using VoIP with a computer, you will need software, speakers, sound card, internet connection and a microphone. Software's can be bought for a cheaper price. Some companies offer these software's for free. Using a computer is, in fact, the easiest way to use VoIP and also the most practical as there is usually no charge for any calls except the fee for your regular monthly internet service provider. Softphone is a client software that you can use to download VoIP into your computer.

There are also special VoIP phones. These phones look like the regular phones. The only difference is that this one has an RJ-45 Ethernet connector while the regular phones have RJ-11 phone connectors. Special VoIP phones directly connect to the router and they have all the necessary hardware and software needed for the call. With Wi-Fi phones, on the other hand, VoIP can be used from any Wi-Fi hot spots.

No doubt, VoIP is another big leap to the world's advancing technology. However, everything has its downside. VoIP also has limitations and inconveniences. For one, the fact that it requires internet connectivity makes it less useful because it only means that the entire phone connection will be reliant upon the speed and quality of the Internet connection it is using. However, this may not be such a big problem as VoIP systems can also use regular phone lines. Power interruption is also a problem if you are using computers or cordless phones. The worst limitation is that you can't make an emergency call with VoIP. However, it won't be long that developers will soon find a solution to these limitations.

Vonage is the pioneer of VoIP phone service. Vonage came at the very first of VoIP technology. VoIP was limited to very few people at the time of Vonage. Only geeks and technophiles used to use VoIP. It got bitter complains from the initial subscribers because it was not so good. Obviously it had some drawbacks in its voice quality. After all they were serving the very new thing. Soon it was improved with good service and accepted to by the millions of subscribers.

Vonage was user friendly. People found Vonage very easy to install. Subscribers loved it because of that also. This actually made traditional phones users to turn towards the new system quiet easily. All they have to do was to plug a phone cable and the broadband internet connection into the adaptor box. That was so easy. Once this has been done and connected to the server they the phone is ready to use.

It was a new service which was easy to install. People always love to try something new. Plus its price was other thing which made easy to be spread out there among the subscribers. Vonage phone user was happy with it because of the low prices because they were paying almost double of what they paid for Vonage. So, people started to move towards the Vonage from the traditional land lines.

Later other VoIP services were introduced by various other Internet Service Providers. The price of Vonage was quite expensive but Vonage is still the choice of so many peoples. It has very large number of subscribers. Vonage's subscribers want to reduce the price advantage they've come to expect but it is becoming quite difficult to do so because of the large number of subscriber base and rising costs. Other VoIP services are now cheaper than Vonage. However people believe that Vonage is providing better services than the smaller and newer entrants. Yet they are not happy with the price. They will definitely believe that they are being better served if Vonage cuts it price to the market level.

Although they get comment about the voice quality at the starting Vonage subscriber do not have any complaints about that nowadays. It is not serving their subscriber with better, may be the best voice quality. Subscribers are happy with its additional facilities like caller id, repeat dialing, return dial and three-way calling. You can even have call-waiting, call waiting disable functions facilities. Other services are.

Subscribers are even able to retain their phone number even if they moved to the different city. Additional service line; toll-free number and web-based management are other features which have won additional favorable reviews. Toll free numbers are the extremely popular these days.

Vonage is doing great in the aspect of quality of service. Doesn't matter its more expensive than other, subscribers are happy with it.

Skype had found some serious competition when SIPphone launched the Gizmo Project on July of 2005. Gizmo Project is a peer-to-peer VoIP network that basically offers free VoIP calls and get this - free calls from Gizmo to landline in over 60 countries around the world! Unlimited calls for an unlimited time! That may be a very difficult offer to beat - and it's definitely not a promo, it's an ongoing service SIPphone offers for anyone who registers an account with Gizmo and downloads its free messenger/ phone software.

Since Skype had been in the lead in the free phone industry, SIPphone had the chance to pry on Skype form a distance, discovered what it lacks and deliver to the market the features that were overlooked and not offered by Skype.

Gizmo Project features call recording and voicemail-to-email. These features may not sound new to you - but Gizmo added a new twist to Free VoIP calling. Now you can receive incoming calls on your computer or on your landline of mobile phone. They call such service as "Area775". Customers are charge £1.00 per received incoming call or they can also opt to pay a monthly fee instead of a per call charge.

Getting started with Gizmo is quite easy. Go to their website and get a free Gizmo Project downloadable to start making free calls. You can choose your desired username and an SIP phone number would be assigned to you. You can use the software with Windows 2000 & XP, Linux (Linspire) and Mac OS. You might need to double check and modify your firewall (specially if you are using an office computer) before you can get the Gizmo Project to work perfectly in your computer.

The Gizmo Project pretty much works the same as the rest of the instant messengers when it comes to PC-to-PC messaging. It comes complete with address book and familiar icons that you can play around with. You can also use your Gizmo to IM your friends on Google Talk. The Gizmo messenger has several features that would definitely make your instant messaging experience more interactive.

On to the phone features of Gizmo Project - the sound quality of voice calls is superb. It uses the same technology as what Skype presently utilizes - the Global IP Sound's Voice Engine Technology. If you pair up Gizmo with a top-quality headset, you would most definitely say that it has better sound quality compared to a standard land phone.

Gizmo Project also leveled up on how conference calling is done. Unlike other messengers, Gizmo uses a server-based system that yields approving results. It can run using its own system or can be used together with the services of FreeConferenceCall.com.

Gizmo Project also provides PSTN services at .05¢/minute, which is by far cheaper than most VoIP phone services. Members can buy call out times for a minimum of £5. Sound quality is superb and you would get (almost) instant activation upon payment. If you are in the US and UK, you can also purchase a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) where you will be given a series of phone numbers that you can integrate with a PBX system.

Gizmo project has indeed taken VoIP telephony a step further and UK Broadband Providers are going to build on it. It uses internet-based technology to provide beneficial features that can be used for your personal and business communication. And the good thing about it is - it's free!

Orange broadband firm was knocked down by the advertising watchdogs. This was because they claimed that its broadband and home phone service is "unlimited" and it was done without mentioning its fair use policy.

In a negotiation over a criticism raised by T-Mobile, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said that Orange had broken its system of practice in a magazine advertisement. It abandoned to allude to its 40 GB monthly download and 1,000 minute monthly calling rations. But Orange said it was an error. Orange mentioned that only 1% of their broadband customers and 2% of their phone customers went beyond their share. But according to ASA, it is reasonable to portray such services as 'unlimited' even if there is a reasonable usage as long as it is in small print.

Orange made it clear that they planned to continue to advertise its package as 'unlimited'. They also mentioned that the restrictions do not concern when it considers that users are using their service fairly. But still, Orange has not given any explanation about what they meant as 'fair'. A government response is to be expected soon regarding this issue.

As we all are aware the most talked out thing today in the market is the Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. The reason for such popularity is because it's FREE in most PC to PC based calling and cheap when making an external call directly to a landline number anywhere in the world. Which means that, you are saving on your direct international (non-VoIP) calls everyday.

Make sure you are aware of the features to look for in a VoIP service offer before you go the purchase.

• You already have a High Speed Broadband Internet Connection: without which the call quality would suffer badly, therefore, it's very highly recommended to have a good high speed internet connection
• Get small UPS for any unforeseen power outages: incase you are in a locality where major power upgrades are going on or power cuts are a common story then, its highly advisable to get in a UPS (un-interrupted power supply) to protect un-wanted power fluctuations to your VoIP device or computer. Bad power supply can burn out the IC of the VoIP gateway and nobody would want that to happen.
• Do you still need your standard telephone line: of course, you do need your telephone line which is being used to get your satellite TV subscription and home security systems up and running as you can not integrate these services into your VoIP digital system at all.
• Local Telephone White Page Listings is another thing you need to keep with you as not necessarily every VoIP provider may offer this service to you for FREE or a price.
• Reliability of your internet connection must be there otherwise any disturbance can cut your VoIP connections making you run for the money. You may get jitters, latency, noise and communication loss. Incase you have major issues with your ISP, contact the home broadband services division and file complain against them.
• Security is another point of concern as the VoIP based software's are prone to infection from viruses, worms, corruption and hacking. Keep your personal firewall up and running all the time along with a better anti-virus program.
• More Extensions are needed: we all know it's a standard analog phone service which we are using for both voice and data transmission. An analog string uses 2 wires for transmission and receiving of a phone call. Incase you have multi phone jacks in each room and would like to connect then VoIP system to that, then, don't stretch Ethernet cables, instead get an electrician to fix the single phone line to all available jacks. Now you have the ability to use single or multiple VoIP gateways.

Apart from that basic VoIP service, additional features are provided without any additional charge. Services like the call barring, call forwarding, call waiting, called ID, phone book etc., are really necessary with any phone. Traditional phone companies would charge the subscriber for each and every service they offer.

There is so much about VoIP these days that, a normal person also knows that VoIP call can be made through messengers like, Yahoo, MSN, AOL etc absolutely free of cost and to any destination on this planet as long as the source and destination computers are equipped with same client program, in other words, a Yahoo Messenger, MSN messenger or a AOL messenger etc.

Briefly people have started to learn its usability and are making full use of VoIP feature or a home soft phone for any long distance calling at no price at all. Majority of business have also started using these free features to make overseas contacts and many are running because of these services. Believe it or not but in coming years, the demand for VoIP would increase to such an extent that people would like to see this feature in there home landline as well. They would want there landline to work over internet directly so long distance call could be made easily without even have to go through the computer.

When there is so much craze about VoIP, there are still those who are unaware about these facilities offered to them for free. We are trying to focus more on clearing those having doubts on this kind of technology. So what do you need to make use of such technology? You need a broadband connection from your nearest and good Internet Service Provider. If not broadband, then it could be a DSL link or a satellite link which ever is available in high-speed. The more the speed, the better the VoIP quality will be. If you are going in for hardware based VoIP device known as Gateways, then for sure there will be requirement to connect that gateway to your broadband modem, which can be done by inter-connecting them with an Ethernet cable. A VoIP gateway is going to be connected to your phone line.

It is very easy to install VoIP depending upon the service provider and the kind of configuration steps it involves. Any newbee (not having much knowledge) can configure these setting for VoIP either on the computer or on the hardware gateway itself. Its fun configuring the installation and then its even more fun when you get to make your first VoIP call. You normally get all the feature a regular phone would carry like the Caller ID, call forwarding, Call waiting, repeat dial, phone book, 3 ways dialing as well. Remember you might just be paying for these feature which you just got for nothing at all.

Call as many friends, family member as you can because your phone expense is not going to be your concern any more. But another set of video phone and plug them through the VoIP gateway and your broadband connection and enjoy the thrill of a face-to-face video chat. Remember, the broadband modem and VoIP gateway are running on power supply and incase of a power outage, the device is going to be out of service.

Therefore, your decision of getting VoIP at home should be encouraged by your needs as this could be a one time expensive venture after all.

Maintaining a phone line on top of a broadband Internet service is costing a lot of people on utility bills. But with the world as it is today, having both a telephone and Internet access are a requirement of every household and business. The need to easily communicate with other people across the nation and maybe, even with those outside the country, is actually a big necessity nowadays.

And then Vonage was introduced. Vonage technically belongs to the UK Broadband industry and their line of business is voice over IP - the technology that combines your Internet service and your telephone service into one neat package. After their penetration of the UK broadband market, telephone services have never been the same again.

Vonage offers their UK subscribers of an unlimited local call plan starting from £5.99 per month. And when you think about it, that amount is just a fraction of what you usually pay for a regular phone service. Plus, the plan includes all calls made to Ireland as well. And if ever you need a subscription package that allows you to call to the rest of the world, all you have to do is to avail one of Vonage World Plans instead. There are three plans actually and each of them is offered at £7.99. Plus, they come with unlimited hours too. Countries are grouped accordingly, and each plan contains a list of eligible countries. Just make sure you select the one that includes the country you usually call.

When somebody says that they have a broadband Internet access, then they are enjoying high-speed Internet access. Consequently, high speed means fast data transmission, satisfactory upload and download time, and good connectivity speed. And if you try to compare broadband Internet with the good old regular dial-up connection, broadband would definitely win with a far margin.

And if you need more nudging to switch to one of UK Broadband Internet providers, here are more reasons why you should go ahead with it and do it real soon at that.

1. Broadband connection allows you to use your phone while surfing. If you have broadband, then you can reach and be reached through the phone anytime. Broadband don't use the same channel as voice calls does, although they may use the same line. But if you stick to dial-up, there's no way you can do both things at the same time.

2. Multiple computer access to the Internet. Most residences in the UK have more than one personal computers installed. And if you want to spread out Internet access on all of them, then broadband Internet is the better option. Sharing Internet access using your dial-up connection is possible, but making that happen needs complex setting-up. Plus, do really want to share a 56 kbps with your other computers? Doing so will divide the speed further.

3. Broadband is more reliable. With broadband Internet, your connection is always on. There's no need to dial up to a phone line that's always busy anyway. Or better yet, you won't be disconnected from time to time just due to data overflow simply because there are way too many people using the Internet at the same time.

So, are you ready to switch to broadband? If so, then scout out the cheapest broadband subscription plan in all of UK. And if you get lucky enough, you might just stumble on a plan that is priced only a little higher than your dial-up plan.
