What is VOIP and what are the advantages?
VOIP is the acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol. In short, VOIP allows voice calls to be made over Internet.
VOIP calls are much cheaper, especially when phoning internationally. Qualities of the calls are better controlled than other services like Skype.
VOIP services aren’t location based, and therefore can be used anywhere in the world.
Call records are in real-time and can be monitored 24/7.
A VOIP call uses data, and does affect your bandwidth usage. However bandwidth usage is kept to a minimal by using the G729a codec. This allows up to 4000 minutes on 1 gigabyte or about 2c per minute extra to the call charges.
