Less expensive. Higher quality. More convenient. Portable to anyplace in the world where broadband internet access exists. Not to mention, there are no hidden taxes, fees, tolls, or other deceiving and/or confusing costs, like the ones you are used to seeing on your old fashioned phone bill. It isn't surprising many industry analysts believe that soon, traditional POTS or PSTN phone service will be a thing of the past. A dinosaur. An anachronism (you get the point...)

Our infrastructure and network of technology partners spans the continental U.S. and Canada. When you sign up at 5PCom, you are making the choice to join an industry leader in VoIP and Internet Telephony.

How VoIP Works
This diagram serves as an excellent illustration of how VoIP service works. This applies to our customers as well as VoIP users in general; The concept and components are generally the same for all providers.
Very simply, VoIP requires 1) a Broadband internet connection via Cable or DSL and 2) a piece of hardware that allows the user to send and receive calls over the internet. For most people, this hardware will take the form of an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) commonly shortened to simply "the adapter". The adapters offered to 5PCom customers are very small, lightweight, and easy to use. They are not much larger than a business card carrying case.
Other options for using VoIP would include using a VoIP phone that is SIP compatable. SIP is an application layer control protocol commonly used in IP telephony, and it stands for "Session Initiated Protocol". Yet another option would be to use a "Softphone" solution, which is a software interface which allows you to use a desktop or laptop PC as a telephone. In this case, the PC must be accompanied by a head set, microphone, and/or a VoIP phone. For all of these options (except when using a 5PCom adapter) the MAC address of the hardware being used will be required during the sign-up process, prior to activation of service. MAC stands for Media Access Control, and represents a unique hardware address, and is used in various networking applications including VoIP.
