Highspeed Internet Phone Service Calling is Real Cheap

Broadband providers can now offer internet phone service through VOIP technology. By enabling users to take advantage of their existing broadband connection to make and receive cheap phone calls, VOIP has become a real money saver for both residential and business customers alike.



Not surprisingly, the success of the VOIP technology has lead to a glut of new broadband providers, all competing for customers. This situation works in the buyers favor as companies, in the face of competitive pressures, are forced to reduce prices and/or provide superior features than their competitors. A little research into finding the best broadband provider to fit your needs can go a long way in terms of satisfaction and money saving benefits.



Undoubtedly, the most famous broadband phone provider is Vonage. With their massive and effective marketing blitz, many consumers mistakenly believe that Vonage is the only residential VOIP provider. There are broad band providers that are bigger and more costly and others smaller and less costly both offering more or less standard features. Vonage friendly service, promotional rates and ease of installation is a good choice for customers who want to test the technology before committing.


Vonage and other similar services are easy to install even if you are not a computer wizard.
Google Talk, SIP and Skype to name a few are basic internet voip services without all the features but are less expensive than many competitors. Basic services such as PC to PC calls are provided by Google Talk and Skype. This is commonly done using a headset or computer microphone and speakers, but it is also possible to purchase an adapter that allows users to use their existing cordless and corded phones.


SIP activated devices allow communication between PCs without the monthly bill. You must be computer literate to connect the SIP devices, but the recognition and zero monthly cost are enough incentive for some users.


Discuss your communication requirements with your office staff to establish a priority list complete with a budget figure prior to the your broadband providers web search. To reduce your choices check the internet for pro and cons of the providers.
