Most people have grown accustomed to having mobile communications through the use of a cellular phone. For many, the next logical progression is to find a way to have that same luxury but at a cheaper cost.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where wireless VoIP comes into play via WiFi phones<\/a>, which require a wireless access point, and DECT phones, which utilize a base station with a direct internet connection and a wireless handset.<\/p>\n Both of these methods of wireless VoIP have their advantages depending on the application required.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of them.<\/p>\n WiFi phones, such as the Unidata WPU7700 or Linksys WIP310G, give the user the luxury of being able to make and receive calls through their VoIP service anywhere in the world, as long as there is a WLAN (wireless local access network) that provides internet connection for the phone to connect to.\u00a0 Most WiFi phones will scan for an access point and connect to one that has the strongest signal and does not require authentication via a web interface.\u00a0 If the WLAN is unsecure or if the user can enter the security settings of the access point onto the phone, then making VoIP calls is as easy as being at your home or office.\u00a0 This is perfect for people who need to be mobile and don\u2019t want to be paying huge cellular phone bills when they could be making VoIP calls at almost no cost.<\/p>\n Ease of use is a great benefit of WiFi phones as anyone who knows how to use a cellular phone can learn how to use a WiFi phone very quickly.\u00a0 The obvious cost savings is a huge benefit as well, as users can use their flat-fee low cost VoIP service to make calls to and from anywhere in the world.\u00a0 Many of today\u2019s WiFi phones also allow the user to enjoy many of the calling features they have gotten use to on their analog or desktop VoIP phones.\u00a0 Features such as speed dialing, call forwarding, call waiting, conference calling and others can be delivered with exceptional voice quality and mobility.\u00a0 Not to mention the convenience of being able to experience these features virtually anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
