The VoIP bandwidth limitations in South Africa are not slowing down that country from embracing VoIP trends. However, as the industry grows rapidly it must confront the bandwidth issues which threaten to raise costs and slow growth. In the South African corporate world, two different paths are being considered for further VoIP development.

Companies that want to shift their existing infrastructures to VoIP are now looking at a difficult transition, where significant delays and costs are involved due to legacy systems. This is not the end of the world for large companies with big technology budgets, and these firms are not hesitating to undertake the investment. For new projects, though, VoIP is the clear choice for businesses of all sizes. The systems are much cheaper than traditional alternatives , with savings in the 40 to 50% range. New businesses which are not burdened by legacy systems have been overwhelmingly choosing VoIP communications.

Free VoIP Options for Non-Facebook Users

There are multiple options for free VoIP for people who are not members of Facebook. The social network recently announced a video calling chat function which uses the VoIP provided by Skype.
The TeamSpeak 3.0.0 RC1 is one such free VoIP provider that allows multiple users to chat over the internet. Though anyone can use this tool, it has to be configured as the program is capable of handling multiple connections simultaneously and limiting it to certain people requires server and client components.
Another VoIP that provides such services is the iCall Free VoIP 1.3.1 which allows iPhone, iPod or iPad users to make more free calls even after their monthly free calls are over. This app can be used over a 3G or Wi-Fi network but currently the VoIP provider is still a ad-supported app which only allows calls to be made within the US and Canada. Even Skype 5.5 could be a major money saver as it provides an option of calling your Facebook friends free of charge if they are also Skype users.
