VoIP Phone Service Saves you Money

If you're wondering how to save big money on your phone bills, VoIP can
help. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP has gone from little known a few years ago to widespread use today. Why are millions of business and residential customers using VoIP everyday?

VoIP does not need landlines to operate. If you have a broadband connection to
the internet, you can call any phone, internet or landline in the country or
around the world. Making phone calls using VoIP can save you quite a bit. Most
residential users are charged $25 per month or less for unlimited calls made
throughout America and only a few pennies per minute for international calls. If
you want high quality calls without the high price look into VoIP.

VoIP provides some advantages not found on land-based lines, or traditional type
cell phones. By taking your VoIP phone along with you on a trip, you can
receive calls anywhere you can connect to the internet. This is great for
business travelers who spend a lot of their time on the phone in hotel rooms,
etc. VoIP phones can be easily used with other services available over the
Internet, including video conferencing , text messaging and data transferal.

You can use VoIP very easily. Most service provider give you a phone adapter
that is plugged into your broadband internet connect at home or special software
for downloading onto your computer. By using either your computer or a regular
landline phone attached to the adapter, you'll soon be making phone calls
throughout the country or worldwide.

There a a few drawbacks associated with VoIP service. Emergency 911 calls are
currently unavailable with some VoIP providers. Be sure you have a back-up plan
for emergency situations. Also unlike those using a traditional land line phone,
you will be dependant on electrical power and your computer to make your calls.
