What is Broadband Phone and VoIP?

Broadband phone takes ordinary telephony to new heights of versatility and affordability. Basically, if you have a high-speed internet, you can save a lot of money on your local and long distance telephone service by simply ordering the broadband phone. In most cases, it's an adapter that you need to plug into your high-speed modem, and then plug your phone into that adapter and you should be ready to go (off course, you need to have a monthly service subscription). Many of the features for which your local company charges you extra, such as caller ID, call waiting, voicemail, etc., come at no additional charge with broadband phone.

VoIP stands for Voice over the Internet Protocol. The idea is not that new and there were many services available in the past, but within last few years, the service quality has improved significantly, while the cost remains very low.

How Does it Work?

You pick up the phone and dial any number just as you would do with the regular phone service. The signal from your phone is being sent to the VoIP adapter where it's being converted to a digital signal, then sent to your router, then your high-speed modem and finally, to the internet network, where it will be routed to the traditional telephone network, and finally, to the destination number you dialed. As far as the service quality, in most cases you will barely notice any difference.
