Can I travel with my VOIP phone adapter?

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

If you have a Broadband or High Speed Internet Connection available, you can use your VOIP phone adapter while you travel. Your phone will work just as if it were at your home.

Take your phone number with you wherever you go. Plug your VOIP internet phone adapter into any available broadband connection and you can use your VOIP phone from anywhere in the world. Your phone will work exactly as if you were still at home. For instance, say you live in New York and take a trip to Helsinki. Plug your adapter into the hotel room’s broadband connection and the phone into your adapter. When people call your home number it will ring in Helsinki. Even better, their call will cost the same as always. The same goes for your outgoing calls.

 

Does it matter what kind of broadband I use for VOIP?

No. As long as your upload and download speeds are 90 Kbps or greater, you should be able to use most VOIP services successfully. When considering an ISP provider, don’t forget to ask about average jitter, packet loss, and round-trip times for customers in your area.
These can give even the fastest connection an unacceptable quality rating for VOIP.You can find out how VOIP will sound and if it will work for you over at mySpeed.com.
