VoIP News & Information

Call quality doesn't have to be a mystery to voip consumers. Available bandwidth, quality of network equipment, packet loss, latency, and jitter all contribute significantly to the quality of service (QoS) equation.

Vishing uses voip to extend the range of phishing scams. Victims are contacted by phone or e-mail and asked to confirm personal information by calling a fraudulent customer service number. Once there, an automated system records their account number and password, giving swindlers access to their bank or credit card accounts.

Broadband internet connections increased by 10.4 million lines in 2005 and voip use is expected to more than triple, as a result.

Switching from traditional phone service to a voip internet phone saves consumers an average of 50% off their monthly phone bill. Voice over IP service provider voip.com wants customers to know why.
