Tiscali Netphone is a UK based company that allows users to utilize their PC to place calls to other PCs, send and receive faxes, and call internationally for low rates. Tiscali Netphone can also be used to manage incoming calls (as an answering service) at no cost. Tiscali’s features make it a perfect fit for small business users, as well as residential customers. Home business owners seeking the convenience of VoiP and e fax will find both in this easy to use software, allowing them to join the VoiP revolution with minimal risk.

Installation and Interface

In order to use Tiscali netphone, the customer must have a PC with broadband access and a microphone. Tiscali uses the power of the Internet to allow users to communicate from PC to PC and receive calls via voice mail. A simple software download is available for anyone with a Tiscali email address. Customers can then begin to use their PC and Internet connection to make low cost (or even free.) telephone calls. Tiscali is a great, risk-free way for customers to try out VoiP, before spending large amounts of money on a plan with high monthly or annual fees. There is no annual commitment, and the cost of the plan is extremely minimal.

Features

Tiscali operates by packaging data into bundles and transferring it over the Internet in the fastest way possible. This means that expensive international phone calls can be made at much lower rates, without costly per minute or long distance charges. Text messages can also be sent to mobile phones at a significantly lower cost than with traditional telephone or cellular services.

Tiscali can even be used to send documents to PC’s or fax machines in a digital format, making it a wonderful option for small business owners who don’t want the expense of a fax machine and a dedicated phone line. For small business owners wanting to minimize start up costs, Tiscali offers low rates on essential services.

Performance

Tiscali is a simple, uncomplicated option for users who want the convenience of VoiP only for international calls. Calls are made from PC to PC, not from PC to phone. Customers are able to access users on the Tiscali network for free or for a minimal charge. They can receive incoming calls via voice mail, but must then return the call from a land line phone. Tiscali provides a great option for home businesses who need to be able to compete in a global economy, but do not have a large budget for international calling.

If the customer makes a limited number of international calls, Tiscali is the perfect solution to high international rates. Simply install the software, and in minutes he or she can be chatting with friends or colleagues anywhere in the world. Tiscali is also an excellent option for the customer who needs to send the occasional fax, e fax, or other document.

Service and Support

There is little to no technical knowledge needed to operate the Tiscali system. Simply install the software, set up an account, and begin making calls on the Tiscali network. If help or assistance is needed, the Tiscali website is only a click away.
