The accused Anwar Hussein (24), who comes from Kolkata-24 Porguna, India, and his two accomplices were found to be operating VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) from a rented three-storey building, illegally blocking Nepal Telecom’s gateway, thus inflicting a loss of millions.

SSP Rana Bahadur Chand, in-charge, MPCD, revealed that the three some had been using the SIM cards bearing numbers — 9807020501, 9803811605 and 9841467386 — registered in the name of Raju, who goes by his single name. The police also picked up an eight-lined CDMA wireless adaptor, a Euro Tech Communication’s 32-lined capacity GSM VoIP, a GSM VoIP Gateway equipment, a UPS, a wireless broadband internet antenna, extension codes, a requester, 300 recharge cards, a laptop, a desktop, mobile phone sets and 209 Mero Mobile SIM cards, among others.

The seized properties are said to be valued over Rs 10 million. Anwar has been handed over to the Metropolitan Police Range, Hanumandhoka.

What is VOIP Gateway?

Call by-passers utilize VoIP GSM Gateway to divert international rings from the official gateway. The call is then transmitted to the telecom subscribers through a GSM SIM card. The ISD at that time displays a personal caller ID on the receiver’s gadget. VoIP has always been a problem for telecom service providers in the country. As stated by the Telecommunications Act, 2053, any person convicted of posing threat to telecommunications systems and service can face a fine equal to the principal amount of loss caused or sentence up to 5 years in prison or both.

VoIP utilizes broadband Internet for routing phone calls, unlike conventional switching and fibre-optic alternatives.

Types of VoIP phones

Low charge for long distance calls and worldwide calls offered by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) attract extra and more users. VoIP phone systems are usually included as an option to a traditional PSTN (public switched telephone network). VoIP phone systems are also called SIP phone systems (SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol) and consist of VoIP server and VoIP phones.

VoIP phones are required to receive and place phone calls over IP (internet protocol).

There are some types of VoIP phones:

VoIP soft phones :
VoIP softphones (SIP softphones) are element of VoIP software. A VoIP softphone is a program association on the computer to execute VoIP communication. Because you need to have a earphones or microphone on your computer to hear and transmit the voice VoIP soft phones make use of these plans in order to receive and make calls. VoIP software can be downloaded from the Internet and the majority VoIP provider offer VoIP soft phones for free.



USB VoIP Phones :
A USB VoIP phone is plugged into the USB port of the computer and using VoIP software install on the computer start working as a normal phone. Usually, a USB VoIP phone is a microphone and a speaker and it perform the same function as the hardware of your computer does. But USB VoIP phones behave like normal phones do that makes them suitable in use and therefore USB VoIP phones are more preferable for the user.



Hardware VoIP Phones (SIP Phones) :
Hardware VoIP phones look like normal telephones but have already included VoIP software so that you can make and receive calls via IP. Hardware VoIP phones share a computer network instead of a customary PSTN thereby you do not need an extra PSTN point for your VoIP phone.



Analog Phones with a VoIP adapter :
If you do not want to spend money on hardware based VoIP phone you can use your analog phone with an ATA adapter (Analog Telephony Adapter). VoIP adapters are plugged into the Ethernet network and linked to the analog phone to change the data. VoIP adapters may be easily added to your network and therefore you will have your analog phone working as a VoIP phone. In case you choose to switch to ordinary PSTN system you can restore the ATA adapter.



Using VoIP softphones is the cheapest way to use VoIP services as you can get VoIP software for free but VoIP phones based on hardware may offer extra convenience as you do not need to use your computer.

How VoIP Works

VoIP convert the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that can travel over the Internet. If you are calling a usual telephone number, the signal is then changed back at the other end. Depending on the type of VoIP service, you can make a VoIP call from a computer, a particular VoIP phone, or a usual phone with or without an adapter.


In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public location such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to attach to the Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If your VoIP service supplier assigns you a regular telephone number, then you can receive calls from regular telephones that don’t need particular equipment, and most possible you'll be able to dial just as you forever have.
