Internet Phone Service Calling Cost Alot Less

Broadband providers can now offer internet phone service through VOIP technology. High speed broadband providers can now offer VOIP phone service at a fraction of the cost of land lines with better quality to all customers.



Not surprisingly, the success of the VOIP technology has lead to a glut of new broadband providers, all competing for customers. More competition in the voip internet connection has resulted in a lowering of rates and an increase in standard features which has benefited the end user. 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.



Vonage is the most known of the broadband providers in the voip telephony market.Many consumers mistakenly believe that Vonage is the only broadband 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.


Todays technology and support services make voip installing and hook up easy for the casual computer user.
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 is actually a communications protocol (it stands for Session Initiation Protocol) rather than a service, and it is possible to use SIP enabled devices to communicate PC to PC for free. Using SIP directly requires more work and technical knowledge than the other communications, but the cost savings along with the cool factor of using the protocol directly are draws 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. Reading an internet review is a great way to narrow down the choices.
