copy a phone book in a voip service

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. I have a voip phone service (voip stunt) that keeps my telephone book on the net. When I try to copy it, to store it for my own reference and to print it out; I cannot copy it. Is there any way that this can be done?

A. Since you apparently don't have problems copying other files, it sounds like this is a question for your phone service provider. I think you're misunderstanding the technology. This isn't some cheesy internet telephony application. This is a full blown phone line that can be used with any ordinary phone. Anyone can call you from any other regular telephone line and they would have no way of knowing that your phone number was actually a VoIP line. You will already have a "bulky computer" since you're already using it for internet access. However the computer is not used at all for the VoIP line so it doesn't matter if it's on of off. As for other people offering this surface at a 90 to 95% discount as mentioned by the previous poster, I highly doubt it. There is no way, a company would be able to offer the $20 service for $2/month as the cost of maintaing the phone line itself would probably cost more than that. Again you're misunderstanding the technology. The person receiving the call does not need to have a computer or a voip line. You can call any regular land line using a VOIP line and the person receiving the call would have no idea if you were using a normal phone line, a cell phone, or a VOIP line, though there might be some lag. Yeah you're right you need to find a high speed internet connection to use it, but with internet connections popping up everywhere in hotel rooms, coffee houses, etc. for the business traveller, it makes more sense. No more roaming or long distance cell phone fees when calling the local office and it's cheaper way of adding a second phone line to your house and they offer many of the same features as regular phones such as call display and call answer. Nop. Had Videotron not abandonned its plans for VoIP, it would have been targetted at the second phone line for residences, not the primary one. Reason ? Emergencies. Good old POTS is powered by the huge batteries and turbine generators at Central offices. VoIP schemes require power be supplied by the residence to run the hardware. Cable company infrastructure is a long way from garanteeing availability during power failures erc.
