How VoIP is Helping to Make Location Obsolete

November 23, 2004 · Print This Article

Yea, I know, VoIP is a hot “buzz” topic now, but there’s some value I’m seeing in it for my future. I can sign on with a company like Vonage, and have them transfer my current phone number. I can also select any phone number in any area code in the USA I want, if I wanted a new number. Then, I can take that and move wherever. So, for example, I could move to a city in central Europe, and have people phone me as if I were still in the USA, and I can phone them as well. As long as I have a strong, broadband internet connection that is. Services such as Vonage offer a significant savings over traditional phone service as well. Another step in the direction of making locating obsolete.

    I’ve been on VOiP without the gadetry and adaptors. I live and work in Mexico and viist shows in US and my home in US. I am impressed, rarely down, and have increased communication with customers and reps. I click the number, my phone rings. I go to to the US and can allow my cell to become my office, or my home number. I’m no expert, but have about 20 years of daily computer use, and I’ve not seen a better thing than VOiP since email.
