VoIP Termination Services Change The World

Posted by jbalk | Business VoIP, Residential VoIP, Small Business VOIP Services | Sunday 20 July 2008 8:20 pm

VoIP Termination Services have become so widespread if your in a unregulated country that does not block SIP ports, you can take advantage of VoIP termination to make phone calls any where in the world using your Internet connection at your business or home. VoIP Termination rates vary from company to company and depend if you are buying just minutes or a unlimited frat rate.

Some things to consider before purchasing a VoIP termination service are:



-Your phone calls will only sound as good as you Internet connection. You should have at least a cable, DSL or a T1 depending on how many phones you plan on using for your business. High latency connections such as satellite are not acceptable, as it creates too much delay.

-Make sure that your country does not regulate or block SIP ports.

    It is funny to think everyone who had a phone a few years ago had to sell out to a monopoly or go with out any phone service. Many people do not even realize that VoIP termination services have turned the telecommunications industry into a more competitive market place where new VoIP phone companies are coming up all over to compete with the big dogs in the telecommunication industry.

    So If your looking for a good way to save money when making international or local phone calls from your business or at home and become part of a revolution then I would definitely shop for  VoIP Termination Services.

    Voip Calls Using Your Cellphone

    Posted by jbalk | VoIP Technology | Thursday 17 July 2008 11:06 am


    wi-fiUsing your cellphone to make phone calls using any wireless hot-spot may soon be a sought after feature on cellphones. With the processing power doubling or tripling every year on hand held devices, developers have already started developing programs to be used on Wi-Fi networks with the existing phones like the iPhone. An example of this being done can be found at free.fr. However many developers are selling their programs or making you sign up for a mailing list in order to receive them.

    My question is how long will it be until VoIP applications start coming free with your cellphone so you don’t have to burn your wireless minutes at home using your cellphone? I can’t imagine any wireless provider just putting VoIP apps on your phone that will take away from their bottom line. They want your teen daughter blowing away minutes on your family plan talking about what her and little Jimmy did over the weekend, or texting until her thumbs look like they are broken in 3 different places.

    So for now, install fring on your jailbroken iPhone, and watch at&t’s revenue dry up like a salty slug in summer.

    VoIP Virus Continues To Infect Businesses

    Posted by jbalk | Business VoIP | Tuesday 15 July 2008 1:29 pm

    VoIP BugsIt seems like it was just yesterday that the VoIP bug started spreading rampantly through every local business and call center in the industry. As the saying goes”If it is not broken do not fix it!”, I like to say “If you can save money why not?” after all gas isn’t getting any cheaper. However among the many happy business owners out there reaping VoIP’s benefits there are a few people who just refuse to make the switch to Voice over IP Technology. These business owners have continued to let the traditional phone companies rape their bottom lines with outlandish bills and antiquated technology; while the feature rich VoIP customer stands across the street getting phone service for less than half the cost.

    Besides cost saving, you are getting fancy features that they don’t offer. You probably don’t know it, but your traditional phone companies’ systems lack many features provided free with VoIP services. These features are endless and range from: voice mails being delivered straight to your email in .wav files and the famous ‘find-me-follow-me’ feature. This feature enables incoming calls to your phone system to ring more than one phone at a time, say your desk phone, and your cell phone while you are out and expecting that sales call. To push the expectations even more the features are endless because VoIP is based on a software platform that can be programmed to make custom changes to provide the features your business needs.

    These features are pretty amazing with VoIP technology that most people can not live without them once they have started to use them.  However when you hear more features you may tend to see the dollar sign turning higher digits on your bank accounts balance, but wait a second.  About 95% of these features come standard with your VoIP phone service at no extra charge.  You may be wondering what the catch is, right? Well rest assured there is no catch with this service. In all actuality having a VoIP service for your small or large business will normally cut your phone bill in half.

    So the next time you see the news about gas prices rising you might want to consider catching the VoIP Virus.

    Windows VoIP Solution?

    Posted by freeman | VoIP Technology | Sunday 13 July 2008 5:08 pm

    Windows VoIP SolutionMost people are aware of the mainstream trixbox PBX distribution, and the ever growing PBX-in-a-Flash distro, but recently people have been wondering what is available for Windows?

    pbxnsip is a Windows based VoIP solution. It runs on Windows. The pbxnsip PBX is available for various platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Linux and NetBSD. You can choose what hardware and software platform is most efficient for you.

    Windows-based operating systems: The PBX runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista versions. pbxnsip also runs on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. If you run the PBX on Windows Workstation editions, you might have limited number of TCP connections and calls.

    Linux-based operating systems: pbxnsip supports RedHat ES4, SuSE 10 and Debian 3.1 for Intel-based platforms (Pentium-compatible). All images are compiled for the 32-bit memory layout, but also run on 64-bit machines.

    You can download and install it from an .exe file right on Windows XP. Either way you go, you configure it through a web-browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. You do not need to use Linux like other PBX  VoIP solutions require, however, you may install the Linux version on a Linux box if you wish.

    The pbxnsip PBX has all the common features that you expect from other competing distributions. It has hunt groups, auto attendants, ITSP support, mailboxes, and conferencing.  It also supports paging, call recording, and call agent groups.

    pbxnsip is not open-source like other competing software based PBX’s. It is free to download and try, but you must buy a liscence n order to continue using it.

    Basic PBX IP Diagram

    Posted by freeman | VoIP Technology | Sunday 13 July 2008 1:01 pm

    This basic PBX IP diagram will help many people see how VoIP actually works. A PBX (Private Branch eXchange) is nothing more that a technology that connects more people and devices to the PSTN network than there are actual outbound phone lines (trunks).

    The center of an IP based PBX system is Asterisk. It is an open source software that most commonly runs on Linux. The phones all connect to the same network as the IP PBX, and communicate with it. The PBX in turn connects the devices to the PSTN network either through standard POTS lines with zaptel hardware, or directly to a VoIP provider via SIP trunks that in turn terminates to the PSTN network.

    This is a picture of a Basic PBX IP Diagram
