Why Use Voip
There are many different ways to enhance the use of high speed internet. With all the available t1 equipment, you or your business can make good use of t1 voip services. Before switching to VoIP, many people use RBOC (Regional Bell Operating Company) and a large long distance provider. The local RBOC bill averages about $25.00 per month and the long distance bill could be as low as $15 per month or as high as $150 per month. The first thing I switched was your long distance provider.
By switching, most see an immediate cost reduction. This was certainly a step in the right direction. Bottom line was that before switching to VoIP your monthly phone bill was $40 to $165 per month, which I was able to reduce to $29 to $100 per month. This was still not good enough given the range of the monthly cost. Enter VoIP. After switching to VoIP, your monthly bill including E911 fee and all taxes comes out to just under $25 a month. That is the bottom line.
One of your customers switched to VoIP for not only the cost savings, but also the convenience. You see his daughter was going off to college in another state. He wanted his daughter to be able to call home at anytime and not worry about long distance charges. He took the option of a virtual number. When using VoIP area codes mean little.
The call is routed through your broadband connection. To a computer, area codes do not mean anything. It is just data flowing through the internet. By using VoIP and a virtual number allowed this customer to choose a virtual number in the same area code as his daughters.
Every time his daughter calls home, she dials his virtual number (local number), which then rings at his home in another state. He gets to speak with her all the time and she pays for a local call. So in this case it was not cost alone, but the convenience as well. Here is one last example of a family who had a son serving in the military in Europe. This family chose to use a videophone and purchased two such phones.
When their son was sent to Europe he brought the phone with him. Since he had access to a broadband connection, he simply plugged his phone in and was able to call home. Not only that, but he was able to actually see his family. This setup consisted of two videophones and two accounts. His family could call him, or he could call his family. In both cases, it was charged as a local call (even though he was stationed in Europe and his family was state side).
If this was not good enough, by using the videophone, they could actually SEE each other. This is really VoIP in action. The son in the military was still able to see the Christmas tree, participate in birthday parties and so much more. There are many reasons for switching to VoIP and the examples above are certainly not inclusive. Whatever your reasons for considering this service, chances are there is a provider and plan to fit your needs
