VOIP is an exciting technology that offers at lot of freedom for telephone users. The letters stand for Voice Over Internet Protocol. Let’s start with the last two letters. Internet Protocol, or IP is simply the way computers communicate over the the internet. Computers or other devices put data packets together in a certain way so they can travel through the internet and arrive at the right place. Voice Over IP means simply sending audio or sounds over the internet. To make it simple, VOIP is a way of talking over the internet.

For telephone users, this opens up a world of possibilities. To simplify, a little box connects the phone to the internet. When you make a call, the signal goes from the phone into the box where your voice is converted to internet packets. The packets travel to the VOIP company and your voice comes out of the internet and into the phone lines and to a phone on the other end. This is transparent to both users, meaning as a VOIP customer, you can use the same phones you’ve always used, and everything works the same way as with your previous phone company. However, there’s a lot of added features. If you stay at a friend’s house, just plug in your little VOIP box into your friend’s internet connection, and plug your phone into the box. If anyone calls your phone number, your phone will ring. In fact, you can do this anywhere in the world. My wife and I have done it in South East Asia and Australia as well as the US.

If you have a laptop, you can use it as a phone. You can use the microphone and speakers that are built into the laptop or an inexpensive headset. We’ve even made calls in Asian airports to family and friends with our laptop. We’ve used VOIP for over two years, and love it. It’s great to be in a hotel room in Thailand, hear the laptop ring, and talk to a friend!

Moving across town or across the country? You can keep your phone number. No charges for getting phone service in your new home. All you need is an internet connection. Whether you move to another state or overseas, your friends and family can call.

Liberty International has been a leader in VOIP technology. They offer a superb VOIP package, called Global Freedom Phone, with free unlimited calling to any number in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico and a host of other features like Caller ID, simultaneous ring (your cell phone can ring and you can answer either one), voice mail, 3 way calling, and much more. If a customer refers three others, their service is free. This option is very attractive to those on a limited income, and can be expanded to provide opportunities to work at home.

For anyone who would like to save money on their phone service, and add powerful features, Global Freedom Phone can provide this and more. Find out how you can enjoy the benefits of VOIP.

In the late 1990’s Dr. Nefi was anxious to get high speed Internet access at home (this is a true story, but the name has been changed). Dr. Nefi lived across the street from the university where he taught Electrical Engineering. He liked the high speed access at work, but the modem at home was very slow. He and a fellow professor began to develop a radio link using 10 GHz radio transceivers.

Wireless Internet was very expensive at the time, and their system used cheap hardware. Halfway through the project however, 802.11b wireless networking, now known as WiFi, hit the market, and not long afterwards, the university put up a WiFi access point. After waiting a few months for prices to come down, Dr. Nefi and I purchased antennas, cables, and wireless cards, and were soon surfing the web at high speed, thanks to our University’s Internet connection.

In the last decade, WiFi has become very popular, and is now available at Starbucks, McDonalds, and many hotels and airports. People can be seen with laptops at restaurants and coffee shops, surfing the web. While travelers wait at airports, they pull out their laptops, and hope to find a free hotspot so they can check their email or watch an online video.

In recent months, smartphones running the Google Android operating system have become popular, and will soon outsell Apple’s iPhone. These “Google Phones” have built in WiFi, enabling users to surf the web at high speed whenever a WiFi hotspot is near. When a hotspot is not nearby, users can surf the web using high speed Internet from cell phone towers.

Now an innovative new company has taken advantage exciting possibilities based on the combination of these two technologies. Wow Mobile is a division of Liberty International, a leader in VOIP technology, a unique product that provides telephone service through the Internet. Wow Mobile offers low cost cellular phone plans, featuring unlimited talk, text, and Internet for a flat rate. One can purchase smartphones and service through Wow Mobile, or purchase a phone from another source and use one of Wow Mobile’s plans. In either case, users can get unlimited high speed Internet from cell towers to their smartphone using G3 technology. The combination of G3 and WiFi really starts making things happen.

Smartphones can get a high speed G3 Internet connection through the cell phone towers, and make the Internet available through WiFi. In other words, the smartphone becomes a WiFi hotspot nearly anywhere. If your hotel doesn’t offer WiFi, that’s not a problem. If you are at the airport, and the only WiFi hotspots cost money to use, no problem. You can even save at home by replacing your DSL or cable Internet with WiFi from your cell phone. How much could you save by getting rid of that bill?

Best of all, there’s no limit with Wow Mobile’s plans. I know from experience that after watching a few YouTube videos on my laptop, it’s easy to go over the data limits that the major carriers impose. Then the extra charges really start piling on. If you’d like to have a WiFi hotspot that you can carry in your pocket, check out Wow Mobile. Wow Mobile and WiFi are a great combination.
