VoIP phone VS. Traditional Phone



For many years until the present, traditional phone which is commonly called telephone, was widely use in businesses and households. But recently, it has been phased out by the technology and features offered by the VoIP.

VoIP is better than a telephone in features and application. A telephone is only used for call connection to other telephone. It has directory lists of telephone numbers of the telephone subscribers. Better yet, cost is payable monthly depending on the type of call; if it is local or a long distance call. When doing a landline call, area code is added for local or national call and in long distance calls. Calls made can only be occupied by one caller at a time.

While in VoIP, calls can be made to any mobile numbers, to the same VoIP phone or through the computer. Some VoIP providers allow user to use traditional phone but with the use of adaptor. Costs are also the same of that of the traditional phone but with the additional monthly bill for the broadband service. VoIP has no directory assistance and no access to emergency call number unlike the traditional telephone. VoIP can take up many phone calls; and there is no need for the recipient to answer all the calls.

Telephone conversation with VoIP is more efficient and cost saving than those of the traditional telephone. Many VoIP providers offer services which can be less of charge than the usual telephone charge.
