Voice over internet protocol (often referred to as VOIP) is a technology that delivers voice communications and other multimedia through the internet.
With VoIP, calls can be routed completely through any internet connection (including wifi) and can also be routed to other commonly used phone systems including landlines or cell phones.
Smartphones have changed personal and business communications. However, there are two important reasons why millions of individuals keep their home phone service with VoIP options like Ooma:
1. Accessibility: Most homes already have a broadband internet connection, making it easy to transfer a phone number or make a VoIP call. Similarly, Wi-Fi® has become much more of a commodity, allowing VoIP calls to be made from anywhere there is a Wi-Fi® connection.
2. Scalable: It’s very easy to add additional users to a call and add extra users to your home or business phone plan. With no contract necessary, unlimited calling and an easy DIY setup, it’s an excellent service option for families and home offices as well.
PocketiTel’s VoIP phone service offers the 911 functionality you’d expect from a landline phone. However, it’s important to note that you must provide a valid address within your country of purchase when you set up your device, and update your address with the device if you move into a new home. With PocketiTel’s 911 service, emergency calls are routed to your local dispatcher instead of a national call center, and PocketiTel automatically relays your street address information to emergency services.
If your internet connection can handle Netflix or Facebook, your internet is probably fast enough for VoIP. According to the FCC, VoIP calls require internet speeds that have less than 0.5 Mbps download.
That’s very low! To put that number in context, streaming video uses internet speeds that are at least six times that, with recommendations at 3 to 4 Mbps download speed. Social media also uses more internet capacity than VoIP at 1Mbps download.
