The world is talking to each other. Communications are on the rise, and VoIP is leading the revolution. VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is the technology used to transmit voice or audio files over the Internet. Using what is known as the Packet Switching Network, audio is transmitted over the Internet and then received by a computer, VoIP phone, or standard telephone. This is in contrast to Circuit Switching networks- the network used for the Public Switched Telephone Network (the standard telephone system) that people have used for nearly 100 years.

VoIP has many advantages compared to PSTN the first is cost. VoIP is less expensive than the price of PSTN telephone services. And to make things even better, many Instant Messaging programs are now incorporating the technology of VoIP and are providing free calls anywhere in the world. That’s right- free calls-anytime- anyplace. All that is needed is an up to date computer, a high-speed Internet connection, speakers, a microphone, and the same Instant Messaging program. Of course, the person you are speaking with will need the same things and of course, the same Internet Messaging program. This is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family for free. When VoIP first hit the Internet in the late 90′s there were countless programs that would let users make free, worldwide PC to Phone calls. Many of these services have either disappeared or are now on a “monthly service” basis. If you are looking for a free way to speak to the planet, Instant Messaging from Pc to Pc is your best choice. Some of the major Instant Messaging programs that allow for free worldwide phone calls include Skype, Yahoo Messenger, AOL, MSN, Wavigo, Babble, I Connect Here, Microsoft Net Meeting, V Buzzer, Glo Phone, and Buddy Talk.

It isn’t just friends and family who are utilizing the benefits of VoIP Instant Messaging. For many businesses, these programs are a requirement. They are an excellent way to provide conference calls or training with a large group of people, across the globe, in real time.
