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.

For the more tech savvy consumers who are looking for the ultimate in price reduction and do not require some of the frills that come with many of the voice over IP services, there are bare-bones PC based communication options such as Skype, Google Talk, SIP and newcomer Magicjack. Basic services such as PC to PC calls are provided by Google Talk and Skype. The PC to PC calls normally use a headset or mike with speakers. 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. You must be computer literate to connect the SIP devices, but the recognition and zero monthly cost are enough incentive for some users.
