There are many
advantages of VoIP broadband phone service. Over the next couple of
years phone over Internet will be the norm for most homes and
businesses.
Internet Phone Benefits. More than likely you receive
many VoIP phone calls in the course of a week without realizing it.
This is because the phone line quality for VoIP is the same as
traditional phone services. If you are considering Internet phone
service, you are making a good choice. Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) as it is called is quickly becoming the best value for telephone
service. Most companies like Sprint and AT&T are already offering
VoIP within their internal networks and are starting to offer it as a
complete service offering. How VoIP Phone Calls Work and Voice Quality.
The
simple answer is that your voice is digitalized and transported over
the Internet as well as over the phone company's private network using
Internet Protocol (IP) service. A broadband phone call happens in real
time just like on a digital TV, except you are using your broadband
Internet service (DSL, Cable, or Satellite). Traditional phone services
use analog, circuit technology. Because of improvements in voice quality
and throughput of VoIP, small idependent carriers have already started
offering VoIP to residents and businesses. Now most phone companies are
using Internet phone technology over their private networks. This means
that most of your calls today go over, at least in part, VoIP networks.
This change in technology is a major factor in the drop in long distance
rates in recent years. Now that many phone companies are extending VoIP
service to the homes and businesses, we can now enjoy additional
savings, great voice quality, and great features.
Price.
Low
Price. Prices for broadband phone services start at under $10 a month.
VoIP service is available to anyone in the world who has an Internet
broadband connection. International and in-country rates start at 1.1
cents a minute or even unlimited for some VoIP monthly plans.
Broadband
Phone. When signing up with a carrier you will normally have the option
of using your own broadband phone, purchaseing a broadband phone from
the carrier, or getting a special adapter to connect your existing phone
to your broadband connection. You can also elect to make VoIP phone
calls using your PC. PCs normally do not need any special equipment, but
many people purchase a wired or wireless headset. Broadband phones
start under $40 and phone adapters cost under $10 depending on the VoIP
carrier. Broadband phones look much like regular phones, but usually
have a full range of digital features. Watch for promotional offers and
you may get your broadband phone or adapter free when you sign-up with
an broadband phone carrier.
No Contract, It's Prepaid. The other
great pricing feature for most VoIP phone carriers is that there is no
contract. You just pre-pay. This eliminates the risk of unexpected high
phone bills.
No Regulatory Fees. Currently, there are no
regulatory fees or special taxes with Internet phone call service. This
can be a significant saving as many traditional phone plans have a 20%
or more in fees and taxes added to the bill each month.

phone call service has many additional features over traditional phone
services. Features include: most traditional add-on services (call
