Small business VOIP phone systems have the benefit of not having the disadvantages which are so familiar to mobile operator clients. The often manifested fluctuating deterioration in sound quality your cell provider experiences is a thing as forgotten as the dinosaurs, when it comes to Voice Over IP. Internet lines typically have a very large spare capacity, plus Internet calling often has a set "right of way", so it is always preferred over other data in Vancouver, BC.

The reason for the lower price is quite simple. Mobile operators had to build their expensive and expansive networks (laying wires, building transmission stations, etc.). Meanwhile, the VOIP operator uses an already existing network, called (you guessed it) "the Internet". Their costs are so much lower and therefore their prices are far cheaper.

The advanced models are use a personal computer as an intermediary and need the appropriate software. The unique advantage lies in low cost, because in addition to the computer itself, you just need to have a microphone and speakers. These components have long been standard on commercially available laptops and a desktop PC can take the necessary hardware for a price of barely a few dollars.

An unreliable VOIP connection is usually achieved when you are using a mobile operator's Internet, or are "on the border of network coverage". A corollary is that Internet calling itself is very reliable and trouble-free. That holds true, as long as your Internet connection is not inferior.

The latest available solution is to use your cellphone as a mediator for the service. Again, there will be a need for additional software and you must still setup your login information. To connect to the Internet, this option will use either Wi-Fi or high speed data transmission networks.

Given that Wi-Fi Internet is now becoming more widespread, you can do beautiful mobile Internet calls, while you pay substantially less! Of course, if you prefer, you can do this "through a computer", for instance through the sound card, using a headset. The detractor would have you believe that when you make calls, you will get poor quality sound.

You can combine a call from VoIP with a land-line or GSM user and vice versa. Of course, there is also the possibility of using corporate communication servers, digital PBXs, gateways and more. Basically - the data is the same as any other stream, differing only in its content. A good example is streaming video, when the server provides the user data and the device (computer or mobile phone) decodes the packets and displays the result on the screen, then the sound through the speaker.

These codecs used by Voice Over IP provides have significantly less compression and thus the distortion of the call is minimized. The tinny sound familiar from mobile calls to you is non- existent with phone calls over the Internet! When one calls over the Internet, there is also far less risk of overcrowding the lines, something you will have experienced on a cellphone over the festive season.
