Small business VOIP phone systems have the benefit of not having the disadvantages which are so familiar to mobile operator clients. The often manifested fluctuating deterioration in sound quality your cell provider experiences is a thing as forgotten as the dinosaurs, when it comes to Voice Over IP. Internet lines typically have a very large spare capacity, plus Internet calling often has a set "right of way", so it is always preferred over other data in Vancouver, BC.
The reason for the lower price is quite simple. Mobile operators had to build their expensive and expansive networks (laying wires, building transmission stations, etc.). Meanwhile, the VOIP operator uses an already existing network, called (you guessed it) "the Internet". Their costs are so much lower and therefore their prices are far cheaper.
Of course, no technology is foolproof, but with Internet telephony, the answer is simple: its reliability depends on the reliability of your Internet connection. If the quality is good (which today, with the vast majority of standard connections being ADSL or cable TV lines), outages are very rare and, moreover, usually only very short (seconds or fractions of seconds). Only in the case of obscure and low-quality Internet connections, will can be met with less reliability.
Software is available either for free directly from the service provider, or you can download free-ware or paid products from a number of sites dedicated to such technology. As with the hardware solution, it is necessary to set the login parameters. The computer must also be connected to a sufficiently fast Internet line.
To use VoIP services, it is not necessary to have a land-line or mobile phone, all you need is only a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. This may be via an already fixed line - ADSL, mobile network - GSM, wired, Wi-Fi, or others. In recent times, even phone calls via landlines are no longer implemented via analog data transfer, so they are technically Voice Over IP as well.
Alternatively, you can get a sort of adapter that allows the use of existing analog devices with this technology. It is effectively used as a converter between analog and digital signals, along with the aforementioned administration access to the actual services. The actual data transfer between the users is then ready to take place.
You can combine a call from VoIP with a land-line or GSM user and vice versa. Of course, there is also the possibility of using corporate communication servers, digital PBXs, gateways and more. Basically - the data is the same as any other stream, differing only in its content. A good example is streaming video, when the server provides the user data and the device (computer or mobile phone) decodes the packets and displays the result on the screen, then the sound through the speaker.
The most important thing is to remember not to fall for the fear mongering of your mobile provider. Their job is to keep you tied into a contract, where you can pay them outrageous amounts, on a per- call basis. For your successful first call, you require only one important thing - choosing the right VoIP provider.
