LESSON 19
Internet phone technology

V1: My phone bill’s huge this month.

V2: Why?

V1: My sister’s working in America, and phoning abroad is really costly.

V2: Oh, I see. How much does your home internet access cost you a month?

V1: It’s a fixed charge, no matter how often I use the internet. It only costs £50.

V2: Well why don’t you use internet phone technology to call your sister? It’ll mean smaller phone bills.

V1: Oh, that’s a good idea.

Internet phone technology allows you to talk to another person across the internet, rather than using a normal phone network. But, you’ll need internet phone software on your computer. You’ll also need to buy a microphone to speak into and headphones to listen through. But - your phone bills will be smaller!

Firstly, it’s quicker to use the telephone. Secondly, the sound quality isn’t as good with an internet phone. And thirdly, reliability isn’t too good, either. Think how often your internet connection breaks down…
