Dear Friends:
Want to setup VOIP company, a business under your own brand name? We have complete solution to launche VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) company. All support comes included.
Features: PC2Phone, Device2Phone, Calling Card, Callback,sms callback solution, Ani Callback solution, DID callback solution, Cli Callback, Pin Callback, Wholesale Termination, Online Billing, Unlimited Resellers Creating, online shop, invoice generator, paypal integrated online shop, pin recharge modules, H323 and SIP.
No ties to us, deal with the wholesalers you want and buy VoIP minutes from any one in the market without any expensive equipment.
Basically all kind of services that are available in the market. We always observe and follow the current trends in technology trying to react timely to changing customers demand by enhancing our system and adding new features.
The services can be divided on retail and wholesale:
Retail :
• PC to phone and PC to PC – using our own sip based softphone with embedded voip tunnel client which allows for communication (both receiving and making calls) from behind voip blockades/firewalls, for example from UAE or other countries where voip ports are closed;
• device to phone i.e. making and receiving calls from SIP or h323 terminals (bidirectional NAT support), full compatibility with all popular brands of soho gateways and IP phones, support for 5 class services, voicemail, waiting message indicator feature, actual balance information on phone’s display and more.
• DIDs/Virtual phone numbers services – assigning phone numbers from various geographical regions to SIP or h323 devices or softphones. Customers can pick up a phone number directly from the web interface with immediate delivery. The system can work with leading DIDs provider thru their API or/and using own DIDs numbers stored in the local database.
• Class 5 services – call waiting, call forwarding, follow me – possibility to set forwarding rules conditioned on various events like busy, no answer, not logged with different forwarding destinations/phone numbers (possibility to set multiple numbers with different priorities), hold, hold with conversation
• Voicemail – checking voice messages by calling predefined voicemail number from softphone or SIP/h323 device or from PSTN thru the IVR system (calling cards) or using the callback service. Detailed information about left messages on the web interface. Possibility to record own welcome prompt. Email notification about new voice messages
• Callback services – triggered by SMS, Web or a missed call. Works with DIDs as an access numbers. Authentication by callerID (ANI) or PIN. Also supported DID callback with unique DID associated with each customer and his/her phone number. Manageable thru the web interface, possibility to add multiple ANIs per user. Multilingual Interactive Voice Response system (IVR). More on the callback and its variants here
• Calling cards – phone to phone services in which a customer dials an access number first, then he or she is asked about PIN (or authenticated by callerID/ANI) and then prompted for a destination phone number. The system comes with own IP based IVR system that supports several languages (possibility to add new), balance announcement, max duration for the call announcement, also it allows to recharge account by PIN and register actual ANI during the call and more. There are several scenarios which can be associated with particular access numbers. Moreover new scenarios can be added or the existing ones be modified by softswitch’s administrator as they are programmed in xml format. More on the IP IVR can be found here
• CallShops – by callshop is understood a place like internet café or a shop where are cabins/booths with IP phones from which customers can make calls and then pay for them at a cash desk. The callshop is a windows based application which shows all the cabins and the calls that are taking place. When a customer has finished, the cashier can see the made calls with their details and costs and can charge the customer. The application also allows to print bills. The advantage of this solution is that the callshop application does not require any special hardware as the calls are not sent thru it, instead they go directly to SoftSwitch (thru the internet connection) and the callshop program exchanges with SoftSwitch only little data needed for billing purposes. Also as the clients can be used softphones installed on PCs or FXS gateways with analogue phones connected, not necessarily IP phones.
Wholesale services:
• Wholesale termination – bulk voice traffic termination, in this scenario Sofswitch acts as the traffic controller which on one side collects calls from clients gateways or other equipment, authenticate them, and then depending on the routing tables send the traffic further to termination gateways/gatekeepers. The whole traffic is billed and controlled in real time, the billing supports both prepaid and post-paid accounts types. Also the media (voice) flow can be set per destination and be sent in full proxy mode where all packets are going through the switch or in the modes where only signalization is sent through the system while the media goes directly between endpoints. The system allows to hide the source and the destination what is often important especially if you work as a broker buying and selling traffic from various parties. Additionally the system offers high flexibility in modifying calls setup, called numbers, enables you to manipulate prefixes, caller IDs and all other significant data before sending calls to the destination. There is also a web interface both for clients and terminators with CDRs (which can be exported to file) and other reports. More on the softswitch’s functionality here.

Low price is still the main driver for international VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol), according to research firm TeleGeography.
Broadband-based VOIP services to homes and businesses can include added features such as click-to-dial and a choice of area codes. Call quality on VOIP has also improved significantly, according to TeleGeography. However, the Washington, D.C., research company said new features and quality aren’t the main motivations for international VOIP. Most international VOIP calls are made to countries in the developing world, using conventional phones, in order to bypass regulated termination charges for circuit-switched calls. VOIP is only used to transport calls from one traditional network to another, said Patrick Christian, an analyst at TeleGeography, a unit of PriMetrica.
International VOIP traffic grew by 35 percent to 30.8 billion minutes in 2004, the latest year for which TeleGeography has issued a VOIP report. Though the growth rate has dipped from more than 100 percent per year in the early days of the technology, usage seems to be increasing: If trends continue from the first six months of 2005, the full year should see international VOIP use increase 38 percent, Christian said. The research company bases its statistics on figures from VOIP wholesalers. The figures don’t include PC-to-PC traffic such as on Skype Technologies’s peer-to-peer service, or calls over private networks.
The top three countries for VOIP growth in 2004 were Brazil, Nigeria and Bangladesh, according to a recent TeleGeography report, and those countries remained near the top in the first half of 2005, Christian said. Measured in calling minutes coming into each country, VOIP traffic is growing fastest in places where the telecommunications market has recently been deregulated, Christian said. Making calls over the Internet bypasses international termination charges, so the entry of competitive carriers that will handle incoming VOIP calls provides an alternative that can save callers more than 50 percent over traditional circuit-switched minutes. Following deregulation, prices tend to balance out from the pressure of VOIP competition, he said.
In Brazil, where the industry was deregulated beginning in 2002, inbound international VOIP minutes grew 112 percent in 2004, according to TeleGeography’s recently released yearbook. Nigeria saw growth of 103 percent that year, and inbound minutes to Bangladesh grew 97 percent that year.
Much of Africa and the Middle East, where many countries still have state-owned telecommunications monopolies, are still ripe for VOIP growth, Christian said.
VOIP is growing faster than circuit-switched traffic, and in 2005 it will probably account for about 16 percent of all international voice minutes, Christian said. That’s up from about 14 percent the previous year and 11 percent in 2003, he said.
In some countries it is even becoming the dominant mode of transport for international calls. About half of inbound international calling minutes to Mexico are VOIP — more than 5 billion minutes in 2004, the company said. VOIP also makes up about half of inbound calls to Brazil, and in Bangladesh, its share is more than 60 percent, according to Christian.
Latin America was the top destination region for VOIP traffic, with more than one-third of all the world’s international VOIP minutes in 2004, the company reported. Asia, especially South Asia, came in second place and the former Soviet bloc countries were third. Most Eastern European countries deregulated their telecommunications markets between 1999 and 2001, Christian said.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has been out for some time now but still has not yet received the proper attention from either household users or businesses. Many people have yet to discover the advantages of VoIP compared to the regular phones.
VoIP is a technology that has been commercially available since Level 3 introduced its “softswitch” 10 years ago. In the early years the technology was new and many shortcomings were stopping people from widely adapting such solutions. Lately VoIP has matured a lot and it is a worthy competitor to a regular phone service. Minimum you need a fast internet connection and a PC in order to take advantage of VoIP. Companies might go for more advanced services which include the service to be running to what appears like a regular phone receiver.
Advantages
1. Free or very heap phone calls. Most VoIP providers offer free phone calls to users within the network and the rates to regular analog phones are almost free. Rates for local calls and calls to mobile phones are generally high but still lower than standard phones. International call rate is were one will see the most savings when using VoIP telephony. No more monthly fixed charges of the local telephone companies.
2. Per second charging. Most VoIP companies will charge you for the exact amount of seconds used and they will let you know how much you have spend on each call at the moment you are making it.
3. An international phone. A VoIP phone does not have country boundaries. You can take it with you wherever you go. And the same rates apply regardless of where you are when you use it.
4. 3-way calling, call forwarding, callback services and caller ID are usually standard features (free) with VoIP companies. Those are normally charged extra for, by the traditional telecommunication companies (telcos) .
No system is without its disadvantages
1. Depended on a high speed Internet connections. When the Internet is congested or the connection is slow, phone call quality can be deteriorated and of course when there is no Internet connection a VoIP call cannot go through.
2. VoIP voice quality is in general lower than standard phones. Internet connection speeds determine how fast the voice packets can be transmitted, computer processor speeds determine how fast the packets can be compressed and uncompressed, the choice of codecs used for the compression also take a part in the general quality of the service. As a rule of thumb the faster the connection and the fastest the computer (together with good compression codecs from the VoIP company) will make up for a service that is generally regarded as acceptable.
Overall, VoIP is a great low cost alternative for communication. VoIP are not just a fab that is going to go away. Its not just for kids to talk to their friends on their PCs. Many companies that depend on international communication are already making use of such services in order to lower their operating costs. Major corporations have done some significant research to fix the disadvantages of VoIP service, as well as improve the overall quality. With all of the improvements continually going on with VoIP, it will soon be accepted by everyone as an acceptable alternative to PSTN.
WebACall.com is a VoIP provider offering free PC to PC Internet phone calls and very low international calling rates for PC to Phone and device to phone services.
In the dynamically changing world of technology, VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is one of the latest and potentially greatest wonders ever created by the human mind.
Watch a techie show, read a techie magazine or talk to any cyber dude and most will acknowledge that VoIP is one of the coolest advancements they’ve ever been blessed to experience.
On the other hand, for the vast majority who are not techie-nerds and who are looking for a non-techie to English translation of what VoIP has done to induce such high praises, then sit back, relax and read a bit more. In a nutshell, VoIP allows you to make phone calls over the internet, using your computer, to pretty much anywhere on the planet. The VoIP acronym is simply a fancy, smancy technical term for what could just as easily be called an Internet phone.
The miracle of VoIP can be explained in a simple process. The analog voice signals, which are the technical term for the exchange of hot air you have with friends and family while talking for hours on the phone… Sorry, I couldn’t resist a bit of humor as I drifted back to days gone by and my youth. Ok, back to business.
VoIP converts the analog voice signals into digital data packets, which allows those packets of data to be transferred via cable lines (the internet) and then they are reconverted into analog voice signals at the other end so that once again, you can understand what is being said. Thanks to internet protocol, VoIP supports real time and two way transmission of conversations.
Sounds Good But How Do I Get Started With VoIP?
First, you have to know what type of internet service you have from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The reason you need to know the type of service you have is because currently, VoIP works best with a cable or DSL internet connection because they are faster… as in they can download more bits of information (data packets) per second and this allows better sound quality on your internet calls.
Although VoIP services are available for other types of ISP connections like dial up, prepaid and satellite… the technology with VoIP has yet to progress to the point where you will consistently experience crystal clear sound over slower internet connections. However, if you currently live in an area that hasn’t been wired for broadband, you shouldn’t have to wait too long for the technology to progress to where you can enjoy a quality conversation over a slower internet type connection. However, for the time-being, quality is still a bit patchy without a high speed connection.
How Much is This Internet Telephony, VoIP Thingy Going to Cost Me?
Cost is one of best things about VoIP because VoIP services cost less than residential phone service and much, much less than most monthly cell phone plans. And if your DSL or broadband internet company just happens to be one of companies that currently offers VoIP services, then so much the better because that usually translates into even lower rates than if you used an independent or outside company for your VoIP phone service.
How Reliable Is VoIP?
Because transmission is being done over the Internet, the voice quality is largely dependent on your internet connection speed. And… at this moment in time, regardless of your ISP or connection speed the voice quality still hasn’t reached that of normal land based or mobile phones. Plus, although rare, if your internet connection goes down you wouldn’t be able to make or receive phone calls and VoIP is still more vulnerable to dropped calls due to a lack of signal strength.
Although VoIP still has a few drawbacks, once you try it you’ll quickly realize that they aren’t the type of problems that will stop you from wanting to use it… especially when you get your bill each month because with VoIP the savings can be dramatic if you spend a bunch of time on the phone.
How Secure Is VoIP?
Because transmission is in an environment where the dreaded “hacker” reigns supreme this concern is an obvious and legitimate one. Let’s face it… although not perfectly secure it’s no less secure than sending emails and billions and billions of those are sent each day. And frankly, if you’re concerned about others listening in on your phone calls you should toss your cell phone because picking up those signals by the “unscrupulous” is much easier than sabotaging your VoIP phone calls.
If you are overly concerned with security due to the fact that VoIP is a relatively a new technology and that there still exists; although remote, a possibility that those cyber technicians will hijack your calls then you’ll just have to wait until you feel these issues are solved before you give VoIP a test drive.
Can You Keep Your Number?
Yes and No! In most instances you will be able to keep your current phone number but just to be safe you should ask this question before signing up for VoIP service. And frankly, in some cases you may be required to change numbers. Oh well… nothings perfect.

Simply put, VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks. It is also sometimes referred to as IP Telephony. VoIP has become immensely popular because of the savings an individual can make on long distance calls, especially on international calls. It is cheap, and some are even offering it for free. Savings can range from 60 to 90 percent, depending on your usage.
How can I use VoIP?
There are three ways of using VoIP. The first one is PC to PC, wherein both parties must have their computers turned on to communicate. Second is PC to Phone, where a party must contact a phone through his computer. Last is Phone to Phone.
What do I need to make VoIP calls?
There are three basic things you need to make a free VoIP call: a computer, a decent internet connection, and a headset with a microphone and earpiece. Scour the web once you have those and you can talk to almost anyone around the globe. The down side of this is you can not make a call unless your computer is turned on.
On the other hand, VoIP companies’ services will cut down your long distance costs to a fraction plus you can make calls with your computer turned off. Aside from the basic requirements mentioned above, devices will be provided by the company, usually with a fixed price. The following are the most common devices that you will be issued if you sign up for a VoIP service:
1. Analog Telephone Adapter or ATA. This device is commonly referred to as a phone adapter, and is needed to make Phone to PC and Phone to Phone calls.
2. Tellular Device. This is just like a normal phone, but some are packed with useful features that you will not usually see.
3. Router. A router will allow you to share your Internet connection with multiple computers or Internet devices.
What are the features of VoIP?
VoIP has almost all regular phone features. This includes caller ID, voicemail, 3-way calling, fax, call waiting, and many more. Aside from these, there are a number of advanced features that makes communication easier.
An example would be the “Keep Your Number” feature, which allows you to use the same number even if you move. Another feature would be “Unlimited Calls to US or Canada.” This feature is popular among individuals outside of the US because of the savings they can get.
What are the disadvantages of VoIP?
Yes VoIP is cheap and rich with features, but it is not perfect. Voice quality is one of the main concerns of VoIP users. Delays, echoes, and weird noises are frequently attributed with VoIP. A good VoIP company, a sufficient broadband connection, and quality hardware will eliminate this problem.
Another down side with VoIP is that it is dependent on your Internet connection. If you have slow or poor connection, voice quality will surely be affected.
Unlike normal phones, VoIP relies on power. You need to plug in your ATA, modem, and other VoIP devices for you to make calls.

With the emergence of business grade, open source VoIP, business telephony is moving to an entirely new level. We interviewed Maria Padisetti from Digital Armour to find out if this emerging technology is a friend or foe for business owner - operators.
VoIP (voice over internet protocol) is basically making telephone calls over the internet. ‘Personal’ VoIP tools such as Skype and Engin are common features on desktops these days. They can save time and money. However, with the emergence of business grade, open source VoIP, business telephony is moving to an entirely new level. Telephony is no longer just about making telephone calls it can now become one of the most powerful systems in your business.
Business Grade VoIP
Business grade VoIP looks like a typical PABX but with a lot more features that can make a difference to your business. If your existing PABX is performing well then VoIP can be a simple add-on. It can also be used to fully replace an aging PABX.
Is VoIP the SME’s friend or foe. We interviewed Maria Padisetti from Digital Armour (www.digitalarmour.com.au) to find out.
1. What sort of businesses should be considering business grade VoIP?
Any SME that wants to save money on call costs. Small businesses typically can’t command discounts from telco’s like the larger players can. This is an opportunity to level the playing field. Also it’s an entry level option for those businesses that can’t afford a traditional PABX but want the benefits.
If the business has mobile staff, or if they want to give their people the opportunity to work from home, then this can simplify that process. You don’t have to worry about reimbursing call costs and it is cheaper between locations. It can also significantly reduce landline rental costs. Usually you can drop 40% of your landlines.
Professional services firms will see added benefits because they can get very accurate records of calls for time billing purposes.
2. How big does your business need to be to make it pay?
The smallest company where we have installed business grade VoIP has 6 people. The key benefit they’ve received have been getting the features of an expensive PABX at a fraction of the cost and it has enabled them to project an image of a much larger company.
The biggest ROI we’ve seen so far has been for companies with 25 – 50 people. One client got rid of everything to do with their traditional PABX and moved to VoIP. For an investment of around $9000 they will see service and equipment cost reductions of $46000 over the next 3 years and call costs are down 20%. There have been substantial productivity gains on top of that.
VoIP can be run on a PC so you don’t have to invest in telephones and other hardware. You also get rid of the maintenance costs of those systems. Most support can be delivered remotely so there are very few, if any, call out charges.
Companies less likely to see benefits are micro businesses (say 2 staff) that operate out of a single location with low call volume.
3. What are the key features a buyer should look out for?
To see productivity gains the “must have” features are:
Retrieve and process voicemail
Remote user capability
Ability to send voicemail to email
Automated call handling
Automated receptionist to back up the ‘live’ reception
The “nice to have” features that are also available:
Send and receive faxes
‘Click to dial’ from MS Outlook
Incoming screen pop up with caller information
Instant messenger
Presence (interface showing availability of staff)
4. What are some of the main brands?
Cisco and Avaya are 2 key brands that are primarily targeted at large corporations (www.cisco.com and www.avaya.com). As a ballpark you might be looking at around $120K for 60 users.
Zultys (www.zultys.com) is priced and designed specifically for the SME market. They’ve won a lot of awards. They are the only system that is “Open Standard” which means you’re not tied into buying their hardware with their systems. It’s a simple system so it’s easy to roll out. It’s very user-friendly.
Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) is the cheapest business grade option as it is “open source” software. That means you don’t pay for the software but there are costs associated with the installation, hardware and support. It is also very user friendly and it enables the customer to do a lot of the day-to-day administration on their own without consulting support.
5. What are some of the traps?
Ensure that all the IP PABX features are all ‘switched on’ as part of your initial package. Some companies charge you for the basic system which looks relatively cheap compared to others but the features you want are switched off. They then charge license fees to switch on other features, which causes a cost blowout and locks you into a long term contract.
Beware of the “free” IP PABX offer. They give the system to you for free and then lock you into a long term contract with inflated call costs. A PABX typically costs $5 - 10K so you have question why they’re giving it away for free.
6. What’s the process of VoIP installation?
Find 2-3 local suppliers that can show you reference sites.
When looking at their reference sites ask the customers their experiences with aspects such as cut-over (when you switch from one system to the other) and after installation support.
Get the supplier to assess your needs and deliver a quotation on purchase, installation and ongoing support. Make sure they fully list what features are included.
Installation can take as little as 1 day and most are installed in under 1 week. Question lengthy installation timelines.
7. How much can I expect to pay?
Using Asterisk you can get a 10 user system installed typically for under $10K. If you already have IP handsets or want to operate over your PC’s then the cost will come down considerably.
8. Any final tips?
People shouldn’t be afraid of VoIP technology any more. It’s come a long way. There are a lot of very large corporations operating on VoIP but you just don’t realise it. For instance, Amazon.com uses Zultys. So it might be worth a re-look if you’ve considered it in the past.

Are you looking for the best VoIP provider? There are thousands of available providers out there. Choosing just one can be very confusing. There are ways however, for you to spot providers that can really give you greater value for your money.
What to Look For
Your first concern should be to know what to look for in a provider. This is especially if you plan to manually research on VoIP providers yourself. Here are some factors to consider when assessing a provider:
- One of the top considerations is the price. VoIP in general is far cheaper than a regular telephone line. As with everything else however, the rates may differ from one provider to another. This may be because of differences in features offered. Well known communications giants may also charge slightly higher than smaller companies.
- Features should be a major concern in your search for the best VoIP provider. Your preference for certain features however will also depend on what you need VoIP for. You may need it for personal local calls, international calls or corporate communications. Depending on your use in mind, certain features to choose from include video conferencing, call waiting, caller ID, call transfer, vice mail, auto redial and speed dial.
- Voice quality is another important concern. Not all companies provide the same quality when it comes to transmissions. You may have to consider such details as the availability of soft switches.
- The reputation of a provider should be considered. You don’t have to go with the biggest name on the list. You just need to make sure that you are with a company that has been around in the communications business for some time. They also need to have some experience in the field of VoIP.
Where to Look for Providers
The internet is a good first stop to look for a provider. In fact, the internet may be all you need to locate a good provider. You may manually search and compare providers yourself. You can however also consult online comparison sites. These sites have lists of providers with their corresponding prices and feature offers. They may also carry consumer reviews of these providers.
Comparison sites can also offer a couple of other services. They may have information pages to help you understand VoIP technology better. Others also provide e-mail and newsletter updates regarding VoIP technology developments. These updates include the current availability of providers in different localities.
Aside from review sites, you can also head off to forums. This will help you get an idea of what actual individual VoIP users have to say about their providers. This is the best first hand information that you will ever get. Forum rules also give you a higher assurance that you are communicating with people who are truthful about their provider experiences.
It may be hard to look for the best VoIP provider at first. Finding one isn’t impossible though. You just have to take your time with making your choices. Make sure that you thoroughly compare the different aspects of providers before settling on one.
