Moreover, this technology can be used on smartphones, tablets, and computers. Furthermore, many VoIP service providers offer hardware-based and software-based phones. In addition, a hardware-based VoIP phone resembles a traditional hard-wired or cordless telephone. These phones include physical features, such as a speakerphone or microphone, touchpad, and display hardware to show user input and caller ID. VoIP phones also feature call transfer, multiparty calling and support for multiple VoIP accounts. Some VoIP phones can transmit and receive image data during calls, so they are considered video telephones. Software-based IP phones, also known as softphones, are virtual phone software clients installed on a user's computer or mobile device. Softphone clients offer similar capabilities to hardware-based IP phones, such as voicemail, call conferencing and call transfer. Some key providers may offer additional capabilities, such as video conferencing and instant messaging (IM).
