Call Cuba Voip
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to
make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular
(or analog) phone line. Some VoIP services may only allow you to call other
people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who
has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and
international numbers. Also, while some VoIP services only work over your
computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a
traditional phone connected to a VoIP adapter.
How VoIP / Internet Voice Works
VoIP services convert your voice into a digital signal that travels over the
Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is converted
to a regular telephone signal before it reaches the destination. VoIP can
allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or
a traditional phone connected to a special adapter. In addition, wireless
"hot spots" in locations such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to
connect to the Internet and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly.
What Kind of Equipment Do I Need?
A broadband (high speed Internet) connection is required. This can be
through a cable modem, or high speed services such as DSL or a local area
network. A computer, adaptor, or specialized phone is required. Some VoIP
services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, while other
services allow you to use a traditional phone connected to a VoIP adapter.
If you use your computer, you will need some software and an inexpensive
microphone. Special VoIP phones plug directly into your broadband connection
and operate largely like a traditional telephone. If you use a telephone
with a VoIP adapter, you'll be able to dial just as you always have, and the
service provider may also provide a dial tone.
