Now that you are definitely on the way to organizing your
computer system and making yourself comfortable with it you may be thinking it
is time to experiment a bit.
You may be asking yourself how to use your new computer more efficiently, or
how you can use it to save some money.
One suggestion I can readily give is to use your computer and your Internet
connection to make telephone calls through the Internet using the Voice
Over Internet Protocol standard.
Voice Over Internet Protocol—VOIP, is a technology that allows you to make
regular telephone calls using your
broadband Internet connection. You can use a regular phone equipped
with a special adapter or your computer that is equipped with a microphone.
VOIP providers offer a variety of price plans and they are usually
cheap when you compare them to your regular telephone service provider.
You can get VOIP service for as little as $14.99 with a basic plan.
This plan usually includes:
· Unlimited
incoming minutes
· 500
outgoing minutes per month to call anytime to anywhere
· 3-way
calling, call waiting and call forwarding
· Caller
ID with name
Other
packages range from $24.99 to $49.99 depending on the features you want to
include in the plan which may range from unlimited local and long distance
calls anywhere within the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and select
European countries.
The
final decision is really left up to you and what you are comfortable with.
You can save a ton of money if you really use this service so you may want to
think about that a little.
Whatever the decision is though, you should always strive to enjoy your
experience. |
