What are the costs involved in running an international voip callback service?? A callback in this sense is a method of making low-cost international calls via a third country, usually the United States, where call charges are considerably lower. In order to use a callback service, a subscriber is allocated a unique number in, for example, the US, which must first be dialled in order to trigger a return call. It may be possible to use the same number for many different subscribers, as the callback system will be able to recognise each subscriber's registered number. On hearing a ringing tone, the subscriber simply hangs up and awaits the callback. On receiving this, usually within a few seconds, the customer picks up the phone and dials the required number.

Questions about VOIP Providers, Service, Quality, & Tech Questions? I'm considering changing my regular home phone service (phone co.) to Cable Telephone (Comcast) or possibly a VoiP service like Skype or Sunrocket. Comcast says a big advantage of their service is the battery backup which keeps the service available for 8 hours if power goes out. Otherwise I think it's just the same as having the regular phone service - no special phones, all extentions work, etc. Skype & Sunrocket are a LOT cheaper, but are they better? Worse? Some questions about VOIP services before I take the plunge: With VoiP will I totally lose phone service if my power or my internet connection goes out? Even though we have cable internet, sometimes it is really, really slow. How would that affect a VoiP phone service like Skype? I'm sure you'd lose service if power fails, or if your computer or modem craps out. Has this been a problem for you? Do all your existing extentions work? Is sound quality great? Other advantges or disadvantages? THANKS!!

VoIP service & faxing issues - can someone explain why? Hi, Can someone explain to me why there are issues with some fax machines using VoIP? This is really frustrating and I'd like to know when we can all expect these issues to be resolved. I have a VoIP phone and my new all-in-one machine can't fax or receive faxes because of my VoIP service. I'm really bummed about this. If anyone has any insight into why this is a problem and when companies will be resolving these communication issues I would really like to know. Thanks in advance!! I have an old fax machine (which is a stand alone unit and does not hook up to my computer) that faxes fine over my VoIP service but my new all-in-one, which does work with my computer, won't work with VoIP. Really frustrating as I don't understand why one is affected and the other isn't. I did install the software that came with my all-in-one. The manufacturer of my unit said they don't support VoIP for faxing at this time. I would like to know why faxing doesn't work with VoIP. My machine starts to connect, when faxing, but then I get a communications error. I don't understand why the two can't work together. What is the difference between a regular fax machine, which will fax over VoIP and my all-in-one unit?
