Voice Over IP (VoIP) – Calling through the Internet

The phone market knows no barriers and, in addition to the renewed ability of each device, it changes the way in which communications take place.

Until recently we were accustomed to using public phones and fixed line, then emerged the first cellular phones and now each of us has got at least one of them.

Finally, the great spread of the Internet in every home with ADSL technology, often with FLAT-type contracts, namely fixed monthly fee and navigation 24 hours on 24, paved the way for new types of services such as VoIP telephony.

But how does it work?

1. You request the service to the VoIP operator;
   
2. Get an account with the numbering of residence or domicile;
   
3. You use a program (Softphone) to dial from your comptuer, or use a real phone (with VoIP functionality) to be connected to the router.
   

Of course if you use the Softphone, the PC must be turned on and must use headphones and microphone. If you are using VoIP phone it is important that the Router is on and there is the power supply.

It should be noted that the number will be assigned has nothing to do with that on the active fixed line. Usually VoIP calls between the same operator are free, while the phone calls towards fixed lines and international numbers are still attractive.

There are numerous offers on the Internet, including Eutelia, which provides a VoIP phone in paying a fixed tribute of 19 euros only for the first recharge. Of course Telecom and Infostrada also offer VoIP service, but know you know what it is.
