Reduce Phone Bills With Call Termination

A telephone call made over a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) connection is routed between telephone companies from the originating point through to the call termination point. The originating point is the person making the call and the termination point is the person receiving the call. A VoIP call is a call made through an internet connection, whether on a computer or a telephone. Many homes and businesses use VoIP calling to save money, especially on long distance calling.

A VoIP Bucket Brigade

Think of call termination as an old fashioned bucket brigade. The brigade starts with the water pump and the bucket is passed through each firefighter's hands until it reaches the final firefighter who throws the water on the fire. In the same way, a VoIP telephone call starts at the originator of the call and is passed over different channels until it reaches the termination point. Just as water can be sloshed out of a bucket, so can a call lose some of its' connectivity or clarity as it is passed between telecom companies making it less effective when it reaches the termination point. You want to be sure that the company handling your "bucket" has steady hands and knows what they are doing.

When the bucket reaches the fire, the water in it is still from the pump, but now it is in the same location as the fire. The same thing happens with your phone call. The call still starts at originating point, but at the termination point, because it is terminated with a local company, the call is actually local.

How Can a Termination Provider Save You Money?

A telecom company which provides termination services can save you money on your long distance calls by routing your calls through local companies in different countries. Rather than pay for a telephone call from North America to Bangladesh or the United Kingdom, you would pay for a local call within either country. There may also be a per-minute charge to make these calls plus a fee from the telecom company for their services.

How to Choose a Call Terminator:

A good telecom company will have contracts with terminators in many different countries so that you can make use of their services worldwide. Look for company which provides what is called A-Z or A2Z services for VoIP. This means that they handle your VoIP needs across the board. Look for a company which offers good customer support, either online through chat or e-mail or even remotely. Remote support involves you granting permission for a technician to access your computer to help you fix it.

Choose a call termination provider who meets your needs and watch your phone bills come down!
