Answer by Kimpak_myrddin
Well I support VoIP phones where I work and I have to say most of our internet customers also have VoIP in the areas where it is available.
VoIP is eliminating the need for long distance charges and other minor fees that standard phone companies are charging. Now the drawback is for those who live in an area where the Internet signals are not the greatest, this causes their phone service to be down more often than not.
Also, a VoIP service isn’t 100% reliable as it depends on the internet to work, so if your cable or dsl service has an outage, say a fiber cable gets cut or a CMTS(for cable isp’s) goes down, than your phone goes out as well.
In the future, I see VoIP relatively unchanged except for becoming more available as well as more reliable, thus forcing standard phone companies to lower their rates as well to keep their existing customers, unfortunatly this is probably a long way down the road but we’re getting there.

Voice over IP – cellphone included or just at home? minimizing home call costs and cellphone costs?
Question by Independent_guy: Voice over IP – cellphone included or just at home? minimizing home call costs and cellphone costs?
How does it work – can I call for free (whether from home or my cellphone) using today’s technology or are we not there yet? Also, what cellphone should I buy if I do not want to commit to any cellphone company. Apparently most if not all cellphone are somehow “connected” to the service provider (as I was explained) so if you buy a cellphone you can only use it with the specific service provider. What if I want to buy a cellphone that can in the future work with any company I choose. Is this not an option? Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by Rationality Personified
VoIP replaces your home phone line. It doesn’t include your cell phone (at least not yet).
If you want a cell phone that’s not committed to a particular cell phone company, get an “unlocked” cell phone. Even if it is unlocked, it will still only work within the bands and protocols of which it is capable. The most capable would be an unlocked quad-band GSM phone.

Packet8 sends all calls to and from you through the broadband phone service adapter or the videophone which then route the calls over the Internet, instead of using the traditional public telephone network. There are no extra numbers to dial, no special instructions and no talking through your computer. Just pick up your phone, hear a dial tone and dial any phone number. Incoming calls ring your phone the same as any traditional phone.
To sum it up: with Packet8 you make and receive calls as you always have, but we route your calls more efficiently to save you money.

Q&A: What is the best software for recording calls made with VoIP phones in an office?
Question by admodieus: What is the best software for recording calls made with VoIP phones in an office?
We have come across a situation where we would like to record some phone calls made in the workplace through our soft VoIP phones. Optimally, this software would be able to run on a computer connected to the same network without having to install anything on the server – however, I am not opposed to any solutions including the server.
Best answer:
Answer by bully
What solutions are you running for VoIP in the office?
Do you use a voice gateway? Is there a PBX server for your VoIP solution?
Additional – There are numerous suppliers of call recording solutions. I would suggest contacting your VoIP provider re-seller and getting a quote from them.
All the solutions will require software running on a server and a connection to your network. Depending on the solution the recording will need to have multiple network connections, one for admin and playback and one that will most likely use port spanning to sniff for the rtp (voice packet data) streams in your network where that spanning occurs will depend again on what you want to achieve. To record external calls, the spanning can be carried out at the voice gateway but if you also wish to record internal calls then further spanning will be required.
Sorry I can’t be any more precise but without detailed knowledge of your network and VoIP solution I can’t offer any further advice.
