Internet Telephone is an exciting technology, which makes it possible to place domestic and international calls from a personal computer to any telephone in the world. Using a sound-equipped PC, a telephone call can be placed through AKCommunication.

When an Internet call is placed from any PC, the call is then transmitted over the Internet into local telephone networks and finally, passed on to the regular telephone being called. The result is real time, uninterrupted, full duplex voice communication, generally as good as traditional phone calls, and in some cases, even better.

Internet Telephone offers many advantages over conventional telephony; such as huge reduction in cost, global access, toll-free access and call-and-surf.

The large cost savings offered by Internet telephony has fueled rapid growth in the global consumer market. Prices to call a telephone internationally from a PC are typically 70% lower than the best traditional international long distance rates. The cost of regular international long distance is beyond the reach of most international consumers. One of the greatest benefits of Internet calling is the savings you can realize when you call long distance - sometimes up to 95% off the cost of traditional long distance calls. Because calls are carried over the Internet, rates are determined by the call destination, and not the origin.

Another advantage of Internet calling is that any regular telephone can be reached via a PC. Unlike pc-to-pc technology, such as voice-chat, where both caller and receiver must be online, Internet calling offers the freedom to reach any regular telephone, without requiring any extra effort on the part of the receiver.

While US toll-free numbers are generally not accessible from outside the US, Internet calling enables users to reach toll-free numbers (800, 888 or 877), from anywhere in the world.

If a consumer has only a single phone line for calls as well as computer's Internet access, Internet calling allows him to enjoy both at the same time. Because Internet calling uses the Internet connection, one can talk and surf the net at same time.
