VoIP Australia: Why You Must Change Over to Internet Telephony

If you own a business and are worried about telephone bills eating up your profits, you would want to change over to a service provider of VoIP in Australia.

VoIP refers to Voice over Internet Protocol. If that is a bit too much for you to understand, in simple language it means transmission of voice using the internet. In computing, protocol means rules determining the format and transmission of data. The problem is that just as you cannot make a call over the cellular network with a traditional analogue phone, you need a different set up for using the internet for voice transmission. 

To avail the service offered by VoIP Australia, you need an IP (internet protocol) phone. These phones have inbuilt analogue to digital converter that turns audio signals into digital data. This is important internet networks are designed to carry only digital data. 

However, if you need only basic services from VoIP Australia, you may use an analogue telephone adapter and connect your normal telephone with the router through which you connect to the internet. Better still, you can make free computer-to-computer calls with business associates who are using the same software as you. You can even use your computer to make calls to other networks. 

VoIP Australia offers internet telephony services that include transmission of voice, fax, SMS and other voice messaging applications. All data is transmitted through the internet instead of the public switched telephone network (PSTN), the reason why VoIP Australia service is much cheaper. 

Gone are the days when internet telephony associated with poor voice quality. Technology has changed things for the better and sound quality today is even better than what most analogue systems provide.
