Talk Broad Band

How to Save Money on Long Distance and Basic Phone?
A new technology has emerged and guess what? It may one day overthrow the utilization of ordinary phones. This is the so called VOIP (Voice over IP) or Talk BroadBand. What it does is utilizing your fast internet connection ( DSL or Cable) to deliver the voice signals via internet protocols (IP) used in sending signals from computer to computer. Instead of connecting your phone straight to the phone socket, you will connect it first to a Broadband Voice Gateway box which is then connected to your DSL/Cable Modem which also connected to your phone socket:
PHONE ----> Broadband Gateway -----> DSL/cable Model ----->Wall Phone Socket
With this set-up you can use your phone just like any ordinary phone, having the same amenities with Telus Phone like:
1. Call Waiting
2. Call forwarding
3. Call Display
4. 3-Way Calling
The only difference is that you can call USA and Canada free all the time with international long distance cheaper than Land line phones service.
