Answer 3

Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP, IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network

VoIP can facilitate tasks that may be more difficult to achieve using traditional networks:

Ability to transmit more than one telephone call down the same broadband-connected telephone line. This can make VoIP a simple way to add an extra telephone line to a home or office.
Incoming phone calls can be automatically routed to your VoIP phone, regardless of where you are connected to the network. Take your VoIP phone with you on a trip, and wherever you connect to the Internet, you can receive incoming calls.
Free phone numbers for use with VoIP are available in the USA, UK and other countries from organizations such as VoIP User.
Call center agents using VoIP phones can work from anywhere with a sufficiently fast and stable Internet connection.
Many VoIP packages include PSTN features that most telcos (telecommunication companies) normally charge extra for, or may be unavailable from your local telco, such as 3-way calling, call forwarding, automatic redial, and caller ID.
VoIP is location independent, only an internet connection is needed to get a connection to a VoIP provider.
VoIP phones can integrate with other services available over the Internet, including video conversation, message or data file exchange in parallel with the conversation, audio conferencing, managing address books and passing information about whether others (e.g. friends or colleagues) are available online to interested parties

Generally they are the services that allow you to use the internet for phoning


There are a multitude of different services
all are a bit different depending on your needs and the marketing

Skype - owned by ebay
you dial from a program on your computer
you can phone throughout the world
It rings on the other person's computer - they do not need a computer

for $ 30 a year you can call throughout North America (US and Canada) 24/7 total

you can call throughout the world
to places already discounted for example isreal and india it is not cheaper. To other places it may be

2) icall
same as skype in that you call from your computer via a program
free to call within north america

3) Vonage
- you need a vonage box
and have someone set it up like a router
you attach to your high speed broadband internet line
you just dial out over your regular phone which is attached to the vonage box

you pay a monthly fee
you can have an incoming phone number anywhere in the us and canada actually throughout the world

3) Jajah

you initate a phone call via a web based interface

www.jajah.com

both phones are connected. After the initiation ( on a website you connect i am at phone,,,, and i want to connect to ....) both phones ring. Neither side needs a computer at that point.

inexpensive to call. Very good phone quality as stays up at a higher internet rate rather than coming down to your computer as in skype.
If both parties are signed up as members ( free) you can call many places of the world (North America , most parts of europe , china , israel ) for up to an hour a day , or 5 hours a week ( as suggested by Jajah - not to be abusive in service use ) at no charge.

There is no catch to these services.
They are legitimate services

in the cases above where there are no charge calls or minimal charges it is marketing.
Unless the service is used it is an unbought , unused good.
The whole idea is to get people to use the service and see how easy they are to use and the level of phone quality
Jajah gives you a free 5 minute test call.
If you are going to use Skype or icall a good headset ( Logitech or Microsoft Lifechat 3000 ) will make all the difference in the world.
