pc to phone or phone to pc

Allows Internet users to place a call from their PC to a traditional phone or to receive a call on their PC from a traditional phone. These forms of communication utilize software or hardware applications that can connect a phone to a computer or that connect between the phone and the wall jack.

Internet calling is an exciting, new technology, which makes it possible to place domestic and international calls from a personal computer to any telephone in the world.

Using a sound-equipped PC, you can place a call through one of the growing number of call providers, commonly referred to as Internet Service Telephony Providers (ITSP).


When you place an Internet call from your pc, your call is then transmitted over the Internet into local telephone networks and finally, passed on to the regular telephone you are calling. The result is real time, uninterrupted, full duplex voice communication, generally as good as traditional phone calls, and in some cases, even better.

Advantages of Internet Calling

Save Money One of the greatest benefits of Internet calling is the savings you can realize when you call long distance - sometimes up to 95% off the cost of traditional long distance calls. Because calls are carried over the Internet, rates are determined by the call destination, and not the origin.

Call Anywhere Another advantage of Internet calling is that any regular telephone can be reached via a PC. Unlike PC-to-PC technology, such as voice-chat, where both caller and receiver must be online, Internet calling offers the freedom to reach any regular telephone, without requiring any extra effort on the part of the receiver.

Toll-Free Access While US toll-free numbers are generally not accessible from outside the US, Internet calling enables users to reach toll-free numbers (800, 888 or 877), from anywhere in the world.

Call and Surf If you only have a single phone line for your calls and your computer's Internet access, Internet calling allows you to enjoy both at the same time. Because Internet calling uses your online connection, you can talk and still surf the net.

Net2Phone Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over cable has matured as a viable communications solution as CableLabs and tComLabs have spearheaded the development of standards and protocols for cable telephony. Net2Phone, a pioneer in VoIP, has now developed this technology for consumer deployment, offering operators substantial cost savings and the opportunity to more fully leverage the HFC plant and provide a competitive quality phone service.
