Save Money With VOIP

Monday, January 18th, 2010

1. Stop Leasing Lines

Prior to VOIP, you had to lease lines from your local exchange carrier. For
example, each line often has a small start- up fee, and there is a monthly access
cost to use each line. Furthermore, each month, there are usage charges for local
and long- distance calls.


The charge is relatively small, perhaps around 40 cents a minute.
That certaintly sounds small, but think about how many lines your company has,
and how often each line is used. It’s easy to see how small charges can quickly add
up to millions of dollars a month.


The good news is that with VoIP and Avaya Phone Systems, the leasing
fees can be greatly reduced or eliminated completely.



2. No More Extra Regulatory Fees

In addition to leasing fees, traditional telephony models also have other
regulatory fees. Unlike the leasing fees, which are collected by your Local Exchange
Carrier, these fees go to various governmental entities. They include things like a
911 fee, and the Federal Line Surcharge. The total cost of the which can range from
4 to 7 percent of your total phone bill.


When you make the switch to VoIP, these fees are paid in
conjunction with the data network, eliminating excess charges.



3. No More Charges for Calling Features

If you want more features than the ability to make calls, say voicemail,
call transfer, or call forwarding, you’re going to have to pay extra, when you use
traditional telephony.


Not so with VoIP and Avaya Phone Systems: you get all the standard
features and a plethora of advanced ones that help increase productivity and
efficiency.



4. Eliminate Charges for Changing the Network

Under the old model of circuit- switched telephony, if an employee
moved to a different office, or a new employee was hired and had to be added to the
network, expensive technicians had to be hired, to the tune of $150 an hour.
Networking addresses had to be changed or added, and port numbers had to be
reprogramed. Major changes and moves were expensive and time consuming.


But VoIP has an intuitive intelligence. Devices like phones or
computers know where they are: move them to your new office and it will
automatically connect to the network.

Letter Published Opposing Government Policy on Internet Piracy

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

In what can be termed as a groundbreaking move, internet service providers have united to write a letter against the Government’s plan to disconnect broadband connections to control internet piracy.

Tom Alexander of Orange UK, Jim Killock of Open Rights Group, Charles Dunstone of TalkTalk, Ed Mayo of Consumer Focus, Deborah Prince of Which? and Ian Livingston of BT clubbed to write a letter, put out in The Times, defying the recent policies of the Government to discourage unlawful file sharing.

The telecommunications executives pointed out that everyone in the UK believes that the creative industry plays a crucial role but that the recent proposal by the Government harms the rights of broadband consumers and the growth of innovative services.

The letter recommended that consumers should be considered guiltless unless proven otherwise. It furthered that nave customers must be protected and steered away from extra judicial “kangaroo court” proceedings, where proof is not investigated properly and broadband consumers are deprived of the right to guard themselves against false accusations.

All the broadband providers voiced their opinion against the decision that ISP and broadband customers must shell out for the cost of this process, considering that most customers do not unlawfully share files.

Moreover, the CEO of TalkTalk, Charles Dunstone, called upon content providers to team up with the internet service providers to draft a more just resolution, a plan that they mutually agree upon and could be forwarded to the Government. He proclaimed that TalkTalk will persistently fight for the rights of consumers and guard them against extra judicial procedural actions.


Locals Petition Against BT High Speed Broadband Trial

Monday, August 17th, 2009

The residents of Muswell Hill area in London have filed a complaint with the London Borough of Haringey against the installation of 1.8m tall green cabinets being put up by BT as part of its trial project to upgrade the super- fast broadband network in the area.

On behalf of the residents, John Crompton, treasurer of the Muswell Hill and Fortis Green Association, said that although the installation is necessary to provide cable broadband to nearby places, it would prove to be troublesome to the residents of Muswell Hill. The cabinets do not go well with the scenic beauty of the area and are even taller than some of the garden walls, he argued. They would also obstruct free movement of pedestrians, and parked car owners might find it hard to open doors with these in place.

In addition, a Haringey spokesperson added that some residents believed BT had begun this work before they had acquired the planning approval, which angered the residents further.

In a response, BT said it will work on reducing the size of the cabinets but added that may take some time. BT is currently running a similar project in Whitchurch, Cardiff. Since BT does not want to lose money due to the setback, it is planning to take the trial to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Manchester.


Zen Says Lack of BT Engineers Reason for Delay in Upgrade

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

The newly posted plans of Zen Internet aim at upgrading to the BT’s 21CN network. The scheme is a precursor to the ADSL2+ service that is all set to inaugurate the provider’s new 20 Mb service for home broadband users. The scheme has already been delayed on account of the inadequate number of BT engineers in the exchanges, which determines the number of connections that can be moved to the new service.

Zen Internet has clarified that with present estimates, it will take approximately eight months for the switch of customers from the present 21CN network to the new broadband connections with high speeds of 20 Mb per second.

The service will be available to current customers as well as new customers. Initially, existing customers are scheduled to get similar services for the same price. However, download speeds as well as upload will improve with time. New customers, on the other hand, can avail the service only if they are in the network area and not otherwise. If you’re uncertain about your broadband speed or what you ought to be getting, Broadband Genie has an excellent and very easy to use broadband speed checker.

The speed will depend upon a number of factors, including the distance of customers’ place of residence from the exchange as well as the external wiring of the network, along with the internal wiring in the homes.. It is capable of providing customers with top class broadband facilities with an average speed of 9-13 Mb for download and 1 Mb for upload. The delay in upgrade has proved to be a hitch in the scheme and it will now be fully implemented only by spring 2010.

Downloading Digital Music Gets Easy with Vodafone

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Music plays a key role in the life of many people, and consequently it has become a part of all gadgets ranging from mobile phones to laptops. However, a significant amount of music legally available for download now uses DRM, which limits the copying of music even to devices that one owns. Most of the record companies nowadays use the technology to protect their music from illegal sharing. This has been a major cause of frustration to users who use more than one device to listen to music. To overcome this situation, many companies are now shifting to DRM-free music to provide their users with unrestricted access to the music that they purchase.

Vodafone has now taken a major step in the direction of making DRM free music available to customers. The company has gone ahead and signed deals with leading record companies to provide customers with DRM free downloads, a first of its kind initiative by a mobile service network. This will enable the customers to transfer the music that they download on one device to any other device of their choice. Those who have already purchased music as WMA are also eligible for free and unrestricted MP3 upgrades.

The Internet Services Director of Vodafone speaking about the development said that music being a very important part of people’s lives, it is only fair that Vodafone offers its customers some way to making music more accessible and restriction-free. He added that with the emergence of this DRM free service, Vodafone

Cell Phone GPS Tracking

Monday, March 9th, 2009

The development of communications technology has long since surpassed the sole ability to access others when they are mobile. Today, mobile communication devices are becoming much more technologically advanced and offer more than the ability to just carry on a conversation. Cell phone GPS tracking is one of those advances.

GPS or Global Positioning System tracks your location by interpreting the data received from 3 or more satellites. This has made GPS a popular feature in cars as a navigational aid.

All cell phones constantly broadcast a radio signal, even when not on a call. The cell phone companies have been able to estimate the location of a cell phone for many years using triangulation information from the towers receiving the signal. However, the introduction of GPS technology into cell phones has meant that cell phone GPS tracking now makes this information a lot more accurate.

With GPS technology now more commonplace in many new cell phones, this means that the location of anyone carrying a compatible cell phone can be accurately tracked at any time. Cell phone GPS tracking can therefore be a useful feature for business owners and fleet managers who need to be able to keep track of their vehicle movements.

Cell phone GPS tracking can also be a useful feature to the emergency services or police when responding to a 911 call from a GPS cell phone. For this reason, the FCC has legislated that wireless networks provide location information for 911 calls made from cell phones. These are known as E911 calls.

As technology advance even further, future features will be even more powerful. Imagine GPS cell phones used as a navigational device. Based on the cell phone GPS tracking signal, they could be used to find your way to a location, calculate your speed based on your location change over time, from this calculate your estimated arrival time, suggest an alternative route and even phone the person you are calling to see with your ETA! Of course in car GPS navigation systems can already perform many of these tasks, however it is the portability of cell phones that makes them so useful for this technology.

Cell phone GPS tracking could also be used to locate the whereabouts of your children and offer protection to elderly relatives should something happen and they need urgent assistance.

These features will help to secure the future of cell phone GPS tracking providing advantages for all.

How Are the Big Companies Introducing VoIP?

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

The top dogs are betting that consumers will soon change how they make phone calls lessening the need for a phone line from a old school telecoms company. VoIP essentially turns telephone calls into data which is transferred via an IP network, and due to this simplicity the future for VoIP seems pregnant with possibilites.

Ever since Skype introduced software for voice calls on computers the industry has been buzzing. Google has entered the VoIP market with an instant chat and voice app and is testing a wireless customer service that has the potential to deliver data to wireless devices.

The tech companies are already beginning to sell double function products such as digital cameras that appear to be a normal digital camera but when a person slides the back of the device down, it reveals a full keyboard. Memory sticks that store from 64 megabytes to 1 gigabyte preloaded with a softphone are also now available. They come with a microphone and earphones.

Companies such as Google, Yahoo, and EarthLink have already played around with such technology. Last spring Yahoo added improved Voice over IP calling to its Yahoo Messenger. Google has debuted Google Talk. AOL announced it would be offering its VoIP service called TotalTalk. AOL’s TotalTalk will essentially let people replace their traditional landlines. It has advanced communication features, such as unified voice, e-mail and instant messaging, and call-management.

Its probably accurate to say the phone companies will face a challenge with these drastic changes emerging with VoIP technology.
