Make The Most Of Voip In Your Home With A Cordless Phone From Bt

You may or may not be aware that in recent years technology for telephone communications

has progressed from a traditional analogue signal system using copper wires to one that transmits data digitally through fibre optic cable. This has not only drastically reduced infrastructure costs, because multiple conversations can be transmitted down a single fibre optic cable, but also means that digital data can easily be passed between phone, internet and cellular networks.

Having the capability to transfer digital data between these different communication networks means a lot of modern digital cordless telephones now offer a range of features for talking to your friends and family. For example, some cordless phones can send SMS messages to mobiles and others can connect to your broadband to enable video conversations with someone on the other side of the world. If you are thinking of purchasing a new cordless telephone set then these are some of the features that may be of interest to you.

Another advantage of choosing digital cordless phones is that you can connect up to four different handsets to one base unit. The base unit must be connected to the phone socket but the handsets only require an electricity supply to charge them and therefore can be sited throughout your home. The use of digital signals has also greatly improved the range and sound quality with cordless phones and you will generally experience less interference.

As mentioned it is possible to connect your digital cordless phone to your broadband to make video calls. Your call will need to be received by someone who has the same set up either through their handset or desktop PC but since the conversation takes place online they are often free of charge!

Some householders have decided to switch to using the internet for all of their communications as they can often save a lot of money on long-distance calls. Internet or VoIP calls can connect to regular landline phones by converting your IP address into a traceable phone number. If you decide to switch to VoIP then it is possible to keep your existing phone number but your VoIP provider may charge for this.

Most digital cordless telephones can be used with a VoIP line but if you want to use the technology with an existing phone in your house then this is possible with an ATA. An ATA (Analogue Telephone Adaptor) simply converts your voice into a digital signal that can then be transmitted over the internet.
