Thanks for writting very informative VoIP article. Please let me elaborate more on VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol has been around since many years. But due to lack of sufficient and affordable bandwidth it was not possible to carry carrier grade voice over Internet Protocol. But since the arrival of low cost internet bandwidth and new speech codecs such as G.729, G.723 which utilizes very low payload to carry carrier class voice it has recently been possible to leverage the true benefits of VoIP. G.723 codec utilizes only 6 Kbps (Kilo Bytes/sec) which is capable of maintaining a constant stream of data between peers and deliver carrier grade voice quality. Lets put this way if you have 8 Mbps internet connection, by using G.723 codec you can run upto 100 telephone lines with crystal clear and carrier grade voice quality. I am also a user of VoIP and have setup a small PBX at home. Since I have discovered VoIP I have never used traditional PSTN service.

Dear readers, if you have not yet tried VoIP I suggest that you try VoIP technology and I bet you will never want to use the traditional PSTN phone service ever again. VoIP has far more superior features to offer which traditional PSTN sadly cannot offer.

Also It has recently been possile to carry Video alongwith VoIP by using low payload video codecs. I cannot resist to tell you that by using T.38 passthrough and disabling VAD VoIP can carry FAX transmission, but beaware FAX T.38 passthrough will only work when using wide band protocols such as G.711, a-Law and u-Law.

By using ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) which converts VoIP signals into traditional PSTN you can also using Dial-up modems to connect to various dialup services. I wont go in to the details what VoIP can offer, to cut my story short VoIP is a must to have product for every business and individual.

I have something better than all this where you can call any network or any Phone Service Provider in the philippines at the lowest rates without monthly bills. It’s VOIP enabled that you can use through your mobile phone without changing your original Phone Service Provider so it’s better than SKYPE. One of the great advantages that we have vs Skype is that you can still receive calls even if you are offline. Meaning, The call will be diverted to your landline or mobile number when you go offline. Not just calls to the Philippines but to most countries where Filipinos are right now. Our company is swiss-owned so expect the best service at the lowest rates. No need for call card purchases, no need for switching phone carriers and no need to wait. It’s more convenient than electronic load because you don’t have to go to the store to buy credits. You can purchase them on your mobile phone conveniently anytime and anywhere and still get the lowest rates for calls to the Philippines or anywhere in the world. If you’re interested, get in touch with me through mikevillegas01@hotmail.com or mikevillegas01@yahoo.com so I can call you up either through your landline or mobile phone or add me to your Instant Messenger.

i read it somewhere, i think philstar run an article that pldt filed a complaint to the NTC against globe because of this product? globe, in turn, discontinue the service until an interconnection agreement is settled between the two telcos…
