What are the pros and cons on internet telephone service?
Question by Let there be JIMBO: What are the pros and cons on internet telephone service?
My company is thinking to switch to a new phone provider that uses VOIP technology. It’s voice + data so conversations, they claim, are very clear. Does anybody have any knowledge of this?
It’s similar to Vonage, but I guess it’s more high quality?

Hey Jimbo, I know about this. My company just went with VoIP. The only problem we seem to have is if someone calls you from a cell phone sometimes cuts in and out. People also sound “far away” but not all of the time. The VoIP phones we got have caller ID and tons of rings to choose from. You can also delete the message from your email before you even have to listen to it (I am guilty of this.) It will save your company a ton of money too, but I doubt they will pass the benefits on to the employees.. Most companies do not.

Why does my cable internet shut off when the phone rings?
Question by thephilliesarenotstopable: Why does my cable internet shut off when the phone rings?
My family has cable internet. The cable comes from the wall, then goes to the modem, and then goes to the wireless-N router. A cord also comes from the router to the desktop PC it is near. The wireless network works fine normally. here is the problem, whenever the home phone rings or is used, the internet goes down and cannot be used until the phone is no longer in use. What is the cause of this problem and what are possible solutions?

From your setup, I can’t tell if you have DSL or cable internet. If this is DSL through your telephone company, it sounds like you either have a bad filter or connection outside, and the low frequency voice portion is bleeding into your high-frequency DSL, which is resetting your connection, or you have a cordless phone that is operating on the same frequency as your wireless router. Most new routers have a solution for this by altering the broadcast frequency of your wireless.

Question by dhampton82: What all voip, etc. carriers do phone number portability?
My dad has had the same home phone number since like 1978. He now wants to try out a voip or similar to try to save some cash. However, he says that it is not an option unless he can take his number with him. Please let me know who all will let him take his number as far as internet phone companies go!

Number portability is what your talking about. You need to ask the VoIP provider if your POTS number is portable to their VoIP system. Some are and some aren’t.
