Not being very technical or a big follower of the most recent telecommunication news, I was completely unaware until recently that you can use the same ‘VoIP’ technology to make international free calls. VOIP is a relatively new technology which has surpassed the telephone companies, as well as the mobile phone networks. Its popularity is steadily increasing with the increasing pervasiveness of broadband connections. It has shown itself to be an game-changing technological advancement which has created a novel mode of telecommunication by making the most of the internet. VOIP is an abbreviated form of Voice Over Internet Protocol.

With the introduction of VOIP technology, the making of calls has become easy and cheap. It’s now not hard to make a local, long distance, and overseas calls from your mobile by tapping into a wireless internet connection or using a VoIP phone with a broadband net connection.

One of the most impressive advantages of VoIP technology is the various new and advanced features it allows you to enjoy, such as easy to set up conference calling. There are many value added services offered by the various VOIP service providers. For example, there is voice mail facility, 3-way conference, speed dialling, call forwarding, simultaneous ring, call waiting, caller ID, call return, caller ID block, anonymous call rejection, an interesting feature of do not disturb, and last number dial. All these services are mostly free of cost in their basic service plan.
