Voice over Internet telephone systems
A cheap way of using a home or business phone system, using your ADSL or Cable internet connection.
Some VoIP services, normally the free ones, use your computer to call another persons computer, and this means that both parties must be sitting at the computer at the same time.
Others are able to use your computer to call landlines anywhere else in the world. Only you need to sit at the computer for this one.
The more popular VOIP systems involve using your broadband connection to connect a telephone in your property to call landlines anywhere else in the world. Neither parties computers need to be on for this system to work, as calls are passed via your Internet Modem directly to the regular phone networks.
Examples of popular VOIP services in Australia
