To start out with, understanding what VoIP is will assure you understand its potentials and its limits. It is the ability to make phone calls using a high-speed internet connection. The phone service will also connect to landlines and mobile phones. It is less expensive than traditional phones. The phone payment can be lowered further when bundled with other services from a provider. Since the calls are made over an internet connection, the phone service is dependent on a functioning and quality internet connection being available (the computer does not have to be on to use VoIP). Heavy faxing, some alarm systems, Tivo, credit card machines, and dial up modems may not function optimally with VoIP. Very important to note is that 911 service is not fully developed. Progress is being made though.

The need for trouble shooting and tutorials will be needed on a limited basis for VoIP users who don’t rely on VoIP for tasks it cannot do. What you need to know about VoIP:

• The strengths and limitations of available VoIP related technology
• Faxing capabilities-companies with heavy faxing needs will need to maintain a standard landline
• A standard landline will be need for credit card transactions
• VoIP may not be suitable for transmission of the data that most alarm companies may require to be sent
• Phone availability and quality is dependent on an active and quality high speed internet connection
• VoIP technology is advancing quickly, check to see if there any products or services that are outdated or in need of an upgrade
