Voip and You Internet Calls

So you want to use Voip. One of the main features that account for the popularity gained by VoIP is the low cost of calling. Firstly, sending information over the Internet is cheaper than over telephone lines; secondly, there are currently no taxation regulations applying to VoIP; thirdly, many telephone services that normally come for an extra fee with standard telephony are offered for free in the VoIP package. Such features as voicemail, call handling facilities (call forwarding and transfer, call block, call waiting, etc.) are quite attractive, and when you add to them a service plan that allows unlimited calling, it is not hard to understand why VoIP is so irresistible.

Freedom is the key. VoIP gives subscribers even more freedom by allowing them to choose a phone number that they prefer. They can keep their old phone number, thus staying easily reachable. Another attractive option is that of selecting a different area code, which makes it possible for other people to cut costs when calling them. If your friends or family live in another area, simply select the same code they have, and they will be able to call you for local charges. Perfect!

Along with the basic call flow architecture, perhaps the most important aspect to consider when implementing Voice over Internet Protocol telephony on a college campus is security. One standard approach to VoIP security involves limiting the full use of IP telephony to the enterprise campus, behind perimeter firewalls, with connectivity to the outside world taking place only through PSTN gateways.
