If you’re following VoIP news you’re probably also following news about municipal wireless networks, or muni WiFi. San Francisco, Houston and other cities had been slated to begin setting up their networks with Earthlink, which recently pulled out of the deals; big news in the tech world. However, as this article points out, muni WiFi is far from dead. This technology is progressing so quickly that cheaper, efficient models are already becoming available, including the powerful long-range WiMax. Keep paying attention to these developments. Once WiFi starts really going in and they work out all the kinks, VoIP will experience a SURGE of new users. And if you can help people get it for free, AND show them how to even make some money on it, you’ll be a hero.
Another future development that pertains to VoIP, which will also snowball as muni-WiFi gets going, is mobile Wifi. There’s a lot of talk out there right now about dual-use handsets, that can switch between cellular and wireless networks. Some companies are even coming out with WiFi-only mobile phones, but most tech researchers think the market for those is a bit farther out. However there is no doubt that eventually, this will be the technology of the day all around. And who knows – developments in technology seem so sped up these days one hesitates to predict how quickly these changes will take place.
For those of you new to VoIP, with questions about the technology itself, why you’re going to end up with it one day anyway, getting it for FREE now and/or the optional business opportunity to get in before the rest of the country does, check out my FAQs page.
Stay current on VoIP news.
One article suggests how to choose a VoIP provider. So far Liberty International’s Global FREEdom phone network is right up there; it works with existing phone numbers and existing infrastructure. I know Liberty International is already working on the future of city-wide WIFI and new products that will result (hand held IP phones replace cell phones in the future??). Their video phone comes pre-installed with many features not to mention customer technical support. The GFP network is accessible from anywhere in the world there is high speed internet, and there is email capability as well.
Music on hold, call forwarding and E911 are a few of many features that come pre-installed with the GFP. International rates are extremely competitive. And most important, so far in my personal experience the technical support is unequaled. I had a question about my voicemail so I emailed customer service late last night, and was awakened this morning by a phone call from them – not from India, but a regular guy from Portland, OR! Friendly, helpful and eager to help me learn. Amazing.
And here’s one feature you won’t find in any other VoIP service provider: refer three and yours is free. Not to mention the option to get in on bonuses, commissions and residuals. Now that’s what I call saving money on your phone bill.
