SIP telephony is another fabulous feature for computer users. With every passing year, the computer industry comes up with something bigger and better and Voice over Internet is the most popular big thing to date. VOIP, which is the most common abbreviation used for Voice Over Internet makes use of SIP technology to offer its customers some fabulous features.
Using just the internet, usually high speed connection, you can use SIP telephony combined with VOIP software and make telephone calls right from your computer or even a traditional telephone. What is more is that you will pay much less for this type of telephone service than you would with your regular telephone. It has never been easier or cheaper to make phone calls and in reality, it is starting to make the regular phone companies shake in their shoes, literally.
Cordless Tool
You will be hard pressed to find too many people who have not started to take advantage of this technology. In fact, more and more people are turning to VOIP and SIP telephony because it is so much cheaper, it does not require any extra phone lines, and the equipment is relatively cheap as well.
You can decide to your own VOIP device or get one from your provider, either way, you are still making an investment that makes sense. There are relatively few problems with VOIP. There are some however, for example, if you lose power, your VOIP telephone may not work. However, this is not much different than if you have a cordless telephone and lose power. The only real difference is that your traditional phone line does not rely on electricity.
If you were to lose your internet connection, your VOIP telephone will not work as well. It requires the internet to work accordingly and if there is no internet connection present, it cannot work as it should. However, the great thing about SIP telephony is that you get all of the same features as you have come to expect from your regular phone. This includes features such as call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, call waiting ID, caller name and number ID, voice mail and so much more.
