Other than this, sometimes I wanted to have chat with my friends because it’s cheap. It has been a continuously source of headache for me because I used three different VoIP services at a time. And one’s who provide all the three things in one are usually expensive. Recently, I got to know about Octro VoIP Company. It brings all the things to you at low rates. It can work on iPhone, PC, Android and Symbian mobile phones.

Octro Talk gives 15 days’ trail free period for Symbian and windows mobile. But after this trial period, you have to buy it for $19.95. You have to give it once. But this application is free for Iphone, iPad, android and desktop. I have tried with all their services i.e. VoIP call, live video streaming, P2P file transfer and the conference call. The video quality is superb. And put the voice quality aside. The results will be above for expectations. You can also give try to SIP calls. It does support it. I must say that P2P video calls with your mobile phone are fun. You can share your videos easily. It works with GPRS, WI-FI and EDGE. I have currently installed this application on my mobile phone and PC and the best thing is that both of them are shared.

How to download Octro?

If you know VoIP that how to use it, then you can enjoy all its facilities. Here are 5 major things you should know about VoIP, which will reduce effort and problems occur during VoIP call:

 

  • Bandwidth control

If testing shows the increase in bandwidth then try to upgrade Fast Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet. If it also seems to be upgraded too much then forecast the upgrade in network traffic which will warrant the upgrade.

 

  • Add pictures to training

Use pictures with the instructions to simplify the training because the more VoIP roll out is larger the more users are required to train to new phones. For example “here is your network connecter” etc. Also use FAQ’s in the documentation to reduce help desk calls.

 

  • Know what you have got

Make yourself aware of all the things your business network infrastructure has got. Gather all the information about your hardware that whether it supports a certain technology or not.

 

  • Test phone compatibility

The phones must have built-in LAN switch ports, so that it can be switched through a single LAN cable to support IP phone or a desktop PC. Make sure that the phones used have switching and power capability which can be connected via standard power over Ethernet.

 

  • Gateway to savings

Try to limit the deployment of IP phones to desktops. Use analog handsets having analog-to-IP gateways, for connecting to the VoIP network.
