How VOIP can mask your businesses size and save you a Bundle?
Yolanda Yvette McDonald
Have you heard the buzz about VOIP (Voice Over Internt Protocol)? Basically, it's like communicating over the phone without a phone. Instead you plug your microphone into your computer log on to a website and "boom" you're talking baby. You may be saying "Hasn't this been around for a while?", and you'd be right. But with the advances recently made with regard to broadband technology this once "nice to have" product available to everyone. No long distance charges, no entry fees, no codes to remember and even better, with the better services, you can share applications and web browsers.
The ease and convenience of unlimited global calling from your computer. In addition to voice communication, you can send and receive group or private text messages. When you make a presentation to a group, everyone can see the same visual on their own screen.
VOIP technology is turning telephone technology upside down! VOIP will soon become the preferred method of communication in today's world. This technology allows sales managers to conduct meetings with full audio-visual interaction from the safety and comfort of their office or home. Uses are limited only by your imagination.
Here are a few of the uses we have discovered VOIP applications being used for:
One-On-One Tutoring
Online Computer Classes
Communicating with
kids in college
Business Teleconferencing Board Meetings
Blueprint review
International calling (no extra cost)
Establishing online communities
Supporting International
Downlines (no long distance charges)
Online Church Services
And the list goes on...There are several service providers and the best by far that we have discovered is ICon Communicator by Madison Dynamics Incorporated. The voice clarity is incredible and the options available set it apart from the rest, and price is more than reasonable, starting at $9.97 a month. You can review their service offer at www.MDIVOIP.com. Other capable providers are Go To Meeting and Intranets.
