VoIP – Why Some People Use It

Why do some people choose to use VoIP over the local telephone company service?

While there are many possible answers to the question above, I’d like to point out a few reasons that I’ve personally seen or heard of. Being a small business owner, I for one made the decision based on cost. So let’s start there.

Before switching to VoIP, I was using my local RBOC (Regional Bell Operating Company) and a large long distance provider. My local RBOC bill averaged $25.00 per month and my long distance bill could be as low as $15 per month or as high as $150 per month. The first thing I switched was my long distance provider. By switching I saw an immediate cost reduction. This was certainly a step in the right direction. Bottom line was that before switching to VoIP my monthly phone bill was $40 to $165 per month, which I was able to reduce to $29 to $100 per month. This was still not good enough given the range of the monthly cost. I needed a way to budget a fixed amount. Enter VoIP. After switching to VoIP my monthly bill including E911 fee and all taxes comes out to just under $25 a month. That, for me, was the bottom line. Cost savings.

One of my customers switched to VoIP for not only the cost savings, but also the convenience. You see his daughter was going off to college in another state. He wanted his daughter to be able to call home at anytime and not worry about long distance charges. He took the option of a virtual number. When using VoIP area codes mean little. The call is routed through your broadband connection. To a computer, area codes don’t mean anything. It’s just data flowing through the internet. By using VoIP and a virtual number allowed this customer to choose a virtual number in the same area code as his daughters. Every time his daughter calls home, she dials his virtual number (local number), which then rings at his home in another state. He gets to speak with her all the time and she pays for a local call. So in this case it wasn’t cost alone, but the convenience as well.

Here’s one last example of a family who had a son serving in the military in Europe. This family chose to use a videophone and purchased 2 such phones. When their son was sent to Europe he brought the phone with him. Since he had access to a broadband connection, he simply plugged his phone in and was able to call home. Yes, a LOCAL call! Not only that, but he was able to actually ‘see’ his family. This setup consisted of 2 videophones and two accounts. His family could call him, or he could call his family. In both cases it was charged as a local call (even though he was stationed in Europe and his family was state side). If this wasn’t good enough, by using the videophone, they could actually SEE each other. This is really VoIP in action. The son in the military was still able to ‘see’ the Christmas tree, participate in birthday parties and so much more.

There are many reasons for switching to VoIP and the examples above are certainly not inclusive. Whatever your reasons for considering this service, chances are there is a provider and plan to fit your needs.

Discovering The Best Email Software For People

Many of us heavily rely on email to keep in touch with one another and of the developments that are happening by the minute across the Internet and as email are so important, it is vital that we find the best email software for us.

 There are two types of ways to receive your email: the first is by web browsing (these services are known as webmail). There are a lot of big Internet companies that offer free email services to you. They all have different advantages, but most have the same results – allowing you to receive your email. Some services provide good storage; others provide excellent spam protection and most provide an easy-to-use interface. Having a look around and choosing a good one for you can help. Also, going for a relatively new service can mean that you are more probable to get the domain you want.

 However, if you want to access email from your Desktop without having to go through the process of the Internet and like being notified when you receive a new email message, downloading an email client could be the greatest email software you can wish for.

 Email software could be perfect if you require that little bit extra from the email service you use. For those who like to make sure that their email accounts are secure and are protected from spam and people who like to open attachments without any hassle, downloading a software package could be ideal.

 Many people are beginning to find that there are plenty of email software packages which can be suited to their circumstances. There is even an email client which could handle users of multiple computers, Pegasus Mail, whilst giving the discretion of using a sole computer. If you have the time to look around, there is no reason why you can’t find the greatest email software to suit your circumstances.

 If you are the more creative type who likes to apply a bit of your artistic side to your emails, there are ways and means of finding programs that provide you with the opportunity to do all of this. One particular client, Incredimail, has a variety of smileys, fonts and backgrounds at the user’s disposal so they could make sure that their message comes across loud and clear.

 Unfortunately, for some, all of this communicate about email software could be right over some people’s heads. At times, the greatest email software for someone to choose could be the most easy and the software that can be found without much effort. Installed on all Windows computers, Outlook Express is ideal for those who want to pick up their mail quickly and easily without having to go elsewhere to satisfy their email needs. If you are short of time and aren’t very confident with downloading new pieces of software, Outlook could be something to consider.

 Emails: you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them. Finding a good home for your emails can ensure that the entire process is a lot easier for you.
