VoIP has started penetrating the communication domain in big way and it is all set to revolutionize the communication technology by providing cheap and application-rich communication, especially for long distance calls. Lets us see some of the facts about VoIP that might not be known to normal users.

1): - Many people think that VoIP is something very complicated so they try to refrain from using VoIP or showing some inclination in using the same. This is only a misconception because you only need a PC, telephone connection and broadband internet connection to start talking using VoIP. You will find that you already have the mentioned items barring the adapter that is provided by the concerned firm.

2): - There is another misconception that VoIP is free or is very cheap. Well, again the first one is true only when you are making VoIP to VoIP calls and that too on the same network. It is cheap when you are communicating in all-VoIP environment using multi-user feature. For example, VoIP can be used to make cheapest call to USA from other country if both sides have VoIP enabled devices. If you are making VoIP calls to mobile phones using your telephone network then you will be charged accordingly.

3): - Sound quality and ease of communication is reliant on the speed of the broadband connection. Matters related to security and privacy is concerned with the network and not with the VoIP service providers.

To enjoy the benefits of VoIP, you must know these aspects as they will help you with a proper choice of the service provider and the plans.
