The POTS telephone network (which stands for plain old telephone system; otherwise known as the standard telephone network) is aging. It is built on copper cables, and on a technology that was invented decades ago. There are now a number of technologies ready to take its place. One such technology is the VoIP ADSL phone.
A standard telephone sends its audio down a copper cable in an analog form to the regional exchange. At the exchange, it is digitized, compressed and sent to its destination, where it is decoded into an analog form. Instead of this, a VoIP phone digitizes the audio immediately and sends the packets through the internet.
There are a few ways of doing this, which include simply installing software on one's PC. However, an increasingly common way is to connect a specialized router to an ADSL connection. These types of router also contain standard telephone sockets, to which a traditional phone can be connected.
These routers encode the audio into normal data packets and then transmit them to the phone provider's servers. The servers then router them to their destination, where they are decoded and turned back into sound.
As there is no physical line needed (other than a broadband connection), the router can be used anywhere there is an internet connection. This means that a person can take their phone to wherever in the world they wish, and still retain the the same phone number.
Additionally, because there is no physical line, line rental costs and the price of calls tend to be much less than they are on standard networks. In fact, the bigger providers, who may have a presence in multiple countries, are often able to offer very inexpensive international calls.
These types of technologies are the next generation in communication devices. The copper telephone network is being used by less people each year, and will eventually be replaced completely by cell networks and VoIP connections, so that - just like TV - all telephone communication will be entirely digital.
There are multiple VoIP ADSL phone providers available, all of which offer different levels of service and telephone features. By comparing the different packages, it is usually easy to find a suitable provider.
