Service Plans
For years you've sent written messages through the Internet with
email. Now you can do the same thing with your voice messages.
VOIP (or Voice Over Internet Protocol) is the new way to make and
receive phone calls. Digicall converts your phone calls into data
that zips through your high-speed Internet connection. The big
advantage with Digicall is that you can call anywhere at anytime for
less money. And it's better than your traditional line because it
expands the power of your phone.
Digicall works with any touch-tone phone, corded or cordless. Either
way you can make calls to any phone on Earth. The person you're
calling doesn't need to have Digicall or an Internet connection on
their side. Of course, if they do have Digicall, your calls to them
will be free. We send you a free adapter when you sign up for
service. Setup is easy. Plug it in and it installs automatically.
When Technologies Collide
To Digicall a voice call is a network application, just like your
word processing software and web browser are applications on your
PC. Because we're one of the few companies in the world that treat
your phone calls that way, we can do things with your call that
others can't. Like send your voicemail messages to you as email
attachments. Or let you listen to them online.
It's a principle called convergence. People have been talking about
it for years, but few have done it. It's your telephone taking on
qualities of your PC and your PC taking on qualities of your
telephone.
How It Works
Once Digicall harnessed this technology, we realized that a lot of
the old silly phone rules just didn't apply. So we don't charge
extra for things like Voicemail and Call Waiting. Why should we?
We're excited about this service that we wouldn't want you to deny
yourself anything. Use it all. The power is yours for the asking.
And best of all, it's a bargain.
When you think about it, the Internet is everywhere. And it makes
all those imaginary boundaries seem unnecessary. So Digicall local
calling areas are bigger, often several area codes wide. Your
contacts in Canada somehow seem like closer neighbors when we
eliminate your international charges to dial there. And it may even
feel surprising to experience an overseas call that costs less than
what you used to pay to dial locally. But trust us, like thousands
of other Digicall customers, you'll get used to it.
The world is changing fast and it's making your life easier.
Digicall brings the future here and now. It's time you took
advantage of it. Here are a few examples of how Digicall puts the
amazing breakthrough of VOIP to work for you.
Digical Strategy
Internet Voice, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP),
is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a
broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone
line. Some services using VOIP may only allow you to call other
people using the same service, but others may allow you to call
anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance,
mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some services only
work over your computer or a special VOIP phone, other services
allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor, see Figure
1 above.
VOIP allows you to make telephone calls using a computer network,
over a data network like the Internet. VOIP converts the voice
signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over
the Internet then converts it back at the other end so you can speak
to anyone with a regular phone number. When placing a VOIP call
using a phone with an adapter, you'll hear a dial tone and dial just
as you always have. VOIP may also allow you to make a call directly
from a computer using a conventional telephone or a microphone.
VOIP lets you make toll-free long distance voice and fax calls over
existing IP data networks instead of the public switched telephone
network (PSTN). Today businesses that implement their own VOIP
solution can dramatically cut long distance costs between two or
more locations.
