Thank you ! VoIP has become popular largely because of the cost advantages to consumers over traditional telepone networks. Most Americans pay a flat monthly fee for local telephone calls and a per-minute charge for long-distance calls. VoIP calls can be placed across the Internet. Most Internet connections are charged using a flat monthly fee structure. Using the Internet connection for both data traffic and voice calls can allow consumers to get rid of one monthly payment. In addition, VoIP plans do not charge a per-minute fee for long distance. For International calling, the monetary savings to the consumer from switching to VoIP technology can be enormous There are three methods of connecting to a VoIP network: Using a VoIP telephone Using a normal telephone with a VoIP adapter Using a computer with speakers and a microphone VoIP telephone calls can be placed either to other VoIP devices, or to normal telephones on the Public Switched Telephone Network. Calls from a VoIP device to a PSTN device are commonly called PC-to-Phone calls, even though the VoIP device may not be a PC. Calls from a VoIP device to another VoIP device are commonly called PC-to-PC calls, even though neither device may be a PC. The authors of VoIP Fundamentals, three packet-voice specialists at Cisco Systems, initiate their exploration of next-generation technologies for supporting conversations across large distances: the switched telephone network as implemented on large (intercontinental) and small (building and enterprise) scales. They then point out problems with the old way of doing things and illuminate the standards and regulatory conditions that have made Internet telephony attractive. Signaling System 7 (SS7) gets particularly insightful coverage, with ample graphical support for the clear, fact-rich, example-laden prose.
