Vox Voip Adsl Phone - A Far Better Mousetrap

South Africa is abundantly blessed with many great things

, many of which are only to be found within the bounds of our sunny shores. Sadly cheap telephone services are not included in this otherwise idyllic scenario. All is not lost though and voIP (voice over internet protocol) services are now bringing hope to the long suffering public. Products such as a voIP ADSL phone allow you to not only save big on local, national and international calls but can actually make you money.

As improbable as this may sound it is true. Not only is the voIP ADSL service far cheaper than the standard Telkom rates but calls to dedicated voIP ADSL phone numbers will earn you money. These payments typically range from 40c per minute for incoming cell phone calls and 20c for landline calls.

All you need to benefit from this great service is an ADSL internet line and a voIP ADSL handset. When you open your account you will usually receive an ADSL phone gateway, the wireless dect handset and are allocated a dedicated voIP number. Typically the service includes caller line identity (CLI), call forwarding and call waiting features and is compatible with all Telkom ADSL lines.

The savings you can make on calls made with the voIP phone system are very good and can be as high as 42% savings on cell phone calls, 23% or more on long distance calls and 50 - 80% on international calls. Call made to other voIP users are absolutely free so the bigger the network becomes the cheaper it is for all users. This is good news for businesses with regional offices as they can cut out the costs of internal calls entirely.

Users can also turn a single voIP phone station into a mini PABX by adding additional handsets to the system. Adding another handset to your setup will effectively give you and additional simultaneous line. The system can then also be used to transfer calls between handsets or even used as an internal intercom system.

Another attractive feature of the voIP ADSL phone is the reasonable setup and rental costs. The system costs approximately R300.00 for a once off setup fee and about R49.00 a month rental. Add this to the considerable savings you can make on your call costs and the voIP ADSL phone starts to make a whole lot of sense as a mainstream telecom alternative.

There are also usually no contracts involved and the system is rented on a standard month to month basis so you may choose to opt out at any point. This lends the system an added element of flexibility at a time when many people are trying to cut down on their contractual obligations.

That flexibility is further extended by the fact that voIP ADSL handsets can also be used as a standard wireless Telkom phone. So you can switch between functions effortlessly. Unlike other voIP applications you don't need your computer on to use the phone which is an added bonus. You can also access the internet while the line is in use.

The voIP ADSL phone system is an affordable, flexible and feature rich alternative to existing services and if you spend more than the residential average on your phone service this alternative deserves immediate and serious consideration.
