Will the Networks Block Skype

April 24, 2009 · Filed Under Tech News · Comment 

Over a decade ago cell phones were impossible to carry around because they were so big and had to technology on them whatsoever.If we now move forward to the current year, we are seeing a wide variety of phones being released with truly advanced features.

But probably the biggest innovation is the establishment of internet access; you can now gain entry to the internet just as you would do on a computer. And this is causing network providers a huge headache. We all know for years that service providers have been making their money by over charging customers huge amounts for calls and text messages.

But as internet access on mobiles phones grow so do access to free wifi spots, so this could potentially wipe out all of the mobile phone networks, because what is happening is that people are connecting to the internet and accessing Skype, which gives you the ability to have free calls between Skype users. Most of the UK providers have already banned VoIP access, but Nokia’s recent release of their N97 come’s pre installed with Skype giving users the ability to easily access the service.

The networks should not be blocking things like this, in my opinion, as it just makes them look bad. We are currently in the middle of a huge financial crisis, so people want to look for the best ways to save. I believe that's why the Network three has expanded so much, simply because they give customers the freedom choice. If the mobile providers want to stay in business then they need to get together and find a way to join up with services such as Skype for example, this way they could share income, but blocking is definitely not the way to approach this.

Magic Jack: The Best Of All VOIP

February 19, 2009 · Filed Under Tech News · Comment 

 

People are always in constant communication today unlike in the past decades, communication is only for a few people. But now everyone has his own cell phone, his own laptop, his own computer and in his computer or laptop, there is sure to be a VOIP (voice over internet protocol) install somewhere on the hard disk. With VOIP, they can get to call anyone they want through the Web without paying much for long distance calls. Do you remember what is like long ago to speak to an operator while you are trying to make some important mobile phone calls overseas and do you remember who much it cost just for a 50-seconds or an hour call? In the past, air time is very rare and friendly to your finances but today, because of technology, air time is also getting expensive. That’s why, there are VOIPs and one of them is in the form of Magic Jack.

Magic Jack is a kindof VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol that depends on your computer’s internet connection so you can place calls locally or abroad. All you ever have is just a USB Cable and that’s basically it and upon receiving the cable or device, you can right away start making calls. Upon installing the device to you computer via USB, the software is mechanically downloaded from the Net while you’re in the process of registering. Right now, a lot of people are using MagicJack rather than other VOIPs and they have good reasons why.

First of all, according to some Magic Jack reviews site, setting up MagicJack is very easy. And the best part is, they have a 24/7 tech who is on standby, willing to give you some additional information and help in setting up your Magic Jack. Magic Jack is also very affordable compared to cell phones. Yeah, sure, you might have different network services like Yahoo! Messenger or Skype where you can also communicate with other people but if you want a less expensive way of calling anyone over the phone, then, Magic Jack is your best option.
