Why Internet
phones?
Internet Phone seamlessly uses the
Internet to cut your long-distance bills by up to 100%! It is a
small stand-alone device that enables you to talk over the phone
using the Internet instead of your traditional long distance
carrier. Some internet phones like (Dip 100, Dip 200and
Phonebridge) works with any computer and any standard ISP
while other internet phones do not need a computer since they
operate with an inbuilt computer (Hippo
Phone and Infotalk).
While some like infoview
provides an instant affordable video teleconferencing (you
live in New York, at the same time, talk to and see your distant cousin in other
cities or countries for free! Works anywhere once there is an
internet access.
Overall Improvement in sound
quality,
In the early days of the technology (two years
ago) the sound quality was inferior to standard telephones, especially with the first
half-duplex PC-based software. With the
full-duplex system, the most recent algorithms and state-of-the-art compression technologies have been
implemented to ensure the best sound quality
possible. In addition, recent Internet telephone technology
is dedicated to only one function: Internet
Telephony. They don’t have any additional disk
or CPU overhead like a PC has. The result is a crisper, clearer
voice quality,
comparable or better to digital cellular phones.
The best function of an internet
phone;
Since traditional long-distance carriers
charge by the minute and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) charge a
flat monthly rate with local access, your savings can be quite
dramatic. In fact, you can make long distance or international calls
for the price of local ones. Amazing! Most Internet Phone
(Vision phone and Infotalk) are designed for the person or small
business that makes frequent long-distance calls between two points.
It's perfect for calling a branch office in Dallas, your family in
the Netherlands, or you supplier in Hong Kong. In addition, since
your call is now 100% free, you can talk as long as you want: for
hours and hours, without any time pressure or phone bill
heartburn. You only need to have this device at each place you
frequently calls to for this excellent call benefits. If you have a
cousin that lives in Rome, while you are in New York, all you needs
to do is to send a device over to him or her to connect so that you
can talk freely without no charges. Individuals, Offices and
Newsgroups can enormously save a lot of money by using this way to
communicate. Infoview offers the possibility of seeing the
person you are talking to in your T.V while enjoying the free call
services since you have this device at the place you are calling
to.
