Taking a Closer look at AT&T CallVantage VoIP Services

VoIP Service

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is sometimes referred to as digital phone service. VoIP can best be defined as a type of telephony service through which calls are transferred across Internet or IP networks as opposed to standard telephone wires. The major difference between the call transmission of VoIP and standard telephone services is that VoIP calls are sent over a general purpose packet-switched network, whereas standard telephone calls are sent over a dedicated circuit-switched voice transmission line.

VoIP service has seen a boom in recent times due to the increasing prevalence of broadband Internet connectivity. Large-scale telecommunications companies are now able to package numerous broadband related products into a single service that they can provide at a lowered cost. With the industry growing at such a fast pace, it can be expected that the amount of competition will soon lead to lowered costs and incredible deals. One company that is already looking for ways to attract business by lowering prices is AT&T.
