All You Need To Know About Wifi Cell Phones

By Dirk Gloeckner

As soon as some people hear wifi cell phones, many are already thinking about the different ways used to access the Internet. Very few understand the concept behind the name, since it involves the word wifi. It helps to understand the kind of technology you are using.

Wifi VoIP access customers obtain through use of cellular phones with wifi access. The wifi LAN, which connects the phone at times, works similarly to a repeater. Therefore, the repeater works to keep the connection through wifi VoIP or conventional modes are possible with these types of phones.

Dropouts often happen, in response to lost connections with a repeater. Access to wifi on the cellular phone automatically adjusts modes of the phone in accordance to the individual's location. Fewer calls are drop and more reliability results with wifi usage. The kind of thing many customers look for, as many do not like losing calls.

Dense urban populated areas, pose one of the biggest problems when it comes to losing cell phone calls. Steel and concrete buildings pose another problem as well. When a person is in areas with these types of walls, frequencies sent between the repeaters and cell phones usually blocked.

The digital signal sent between the phone and repeater only has a certain range. As a phone reaches the limits to its specific range, more dropouts occur. This is where most will find that wifi access comes in handy.

If it so happens the person comes into an area with wifi access when close to losing the call, the call switches off. No longer does the call remain on the conventional line, but rather becomes part of the wifi LAN. Additionally, the person has VOiP, which keeps the call continuous and without loss.

Switching back to the other network usually happens without notice. The customer has the assurance to always stay connected as long as there is wifi service available. The customer can take comfort in knowing the call will continue when in range of a wifi network.

Many places have the service free and it comes with other benefits as well. You don't have to worry about paying for the calls made on a wifi access. The only time you would have to pay is if the service requires it. This is a nice feature for someone who uses their phone a lot of minutes. - 16890
