Because Internet telephony is not yet as widespread as cell phones, for example, it is less well known among people and in particular mobile operators, which compete with it by spreading myths and untruths with relish.
The technology behind small business VOIP phone systems carries many advantages and has been accused of many things, which are not true, at best. This does not change the fact that phone calls over the Internet are much cheaper than any other telephony technologies in Vancouver, BC are.
Your mobile providers would have you believe that Internet telephony is unreliable, having many failures and the like. Here is the point at which you should be yelling foul at them. You know from experience how often you can not reach a cell phone for "unknown reasons". Someone, the connection interrupts for no reason and you dial again and again, paying the operator all the way.
The operators also do not abuse their position. You all know the methods of other operators, most obligations are tethered to long-term contracts, deliberately extremely complicated tariffs, which no one is able to properly understand, dozens of pages long and completely incomprehensible to ordinary people the "General Conditions". These are written with letters on the edge of legibility, all supported by massive advertising, while their especially financial service disadvantages are "tactfully" concealed.
Operators that provide Internet calls, tend to approach customers fairly. Their fares are very simple, understandable and stable. They do not use the deliberately incomprehensible contracts and lengthy, unreadable General Terms of Service, with miniature printed letters. Operators that service smaller businesses are mostly small or medium companies, they run on domestic capital, unlike all mobile operators, which are owned by multinational corporations, tied to foreign capital.
To use VoIP services, it is not necessary to have a land-line or mobile phone, all you need is only a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. This may be via an already fixed line - ADSL, mobile network - GSM, wired, Wi-Fi, or others. In recent times, even phone calls via landlines are no longer implemented via analog data transfer, so they are technically Voice Over IP as well.
The technology is a digital service and therefore goes about converting analog signals to digital on the side of one party and the opposite conversion from digital to analogue telephony with the other party. This transfer is done via codecs. They are clearly predefined and approved procedures on how to convert analog audio to digital.
They myth about the bad quality of VOIP is also a favorite malicious lie from other, non- Internet based operators. The quality of the phone call, to the greatest extent, depends on two factors. They are the codec used and the throughput or availability of the line. The truth is that the operators use significantly, up to several times, faster codecs than mobile operators.
The most important thing is to remember not to fall for the fear mongering of your mobile provider. Their job is to keep you tied into a contract, where you can pay them outrageous amounts, on a per- call basis. For your successful first call, you require only one important thing - choosing the right VoIP provider.
