As VoIP calls are made using a PC, there are a number of basic infrastructure requirements you'll need in place before you can use the system. These include:
-
This system requires a recent PC with at least a microphone and an internet connection.
-
You will need to download the service provider’s software client. This is usually free.
-
For the best experience and the best savings, a broadband internet connection is required.
Some users prefer to use a headset, because this can improve the clarity of the sound and eliminate the ‘echo’ of the conversation that may be heard when a microphone is used in combination with speakers.
