VoIP is the short form for Voice over IP and is a synonym for speech over internet protocol. With VoIP phonecalls will be place over the internet instaed of phone-cables.
The primary advantage of Voice over IP results of the low calling rates. The rates are much more lower than using a standard phone because a VoIP company don't need to invest in expensive cable network and uses existing internet network instead.
In case of using the existing internet-network we save a huge amount of installation costs. Additional we save a lot of money of monthly service and support rates. So we are able to calculate lower rates than traditional phone-companies.
The enormous flexibility is an additional plus for VoIP. You can take your phonenumber to every internet-connection - if you are on travel you simply take your phone with you and callers simply call your existing number and will reach you worldwide.
Your VoIP line and account supports you with some additional features like SMS and MMS sending and receiving, voicemailbox, phonebook, caller-ID and caller name, call detail records. Everything is included in your FREE VoIP basic account.
