VoIP and Your Church

published May 21, 2007 09:35

What's that? Your church is broke? Hey, that's crazy...mine is too. It's the times we live in: Tight budgets, Giving is down, and churches are scrambling for ways to save some money. Geeks to the Rescue!

This week we talk about a technology that could save you some money instead of selling your church's collective soul to Ma Bell. We talk about VoIP (voice over internet protocol) and how it can apply to churches like yours.

Sure, you've heard of Skype and iChat but you never thought there was a solution that could actually be implemented on a large scale at your church...until now.

Rob and MF don't know much about VoIP, so they invited a G&G listener, Geek, and VoIP guy, Erik Anderson, onto the show to tell us all about how he launched VoIP systems on a scale that would be usable in any size church. He tells us all about how the open source Asterisk VoIP system can be implemented in churches and save them a bunch of money on their phone system and long distance charges.

Kick back, grab some skittles, and tune into this episode of G&G....
