What's in VoIP for Me?

What's the Big Deal with VoIP?As you probably know by now, VoIP (or Voice over the Internet Protocol) uses the internet, rather than traditional phone lines to send voice calls and now even data fax calls. But did you also know that VoIP is easy to use - you just plug your home or office telephone into an adapter supplied to you and then plug it into your high speed internet connection. Pick up your phone and dial. It'a as easy as that!

So what's the big deal about VoIP and why it might be great for you? Well first, the cost. VoIP calls are cheap, plain and simple. They are cheap because they don't use phone lines to transport your calls, but the "free internet". Call now cost pennies, taxes are lower or non-existant, international rates are lower, and member to member calling is free. So if cost is what you are after, nothing beats VoIP.

Most of us look for more than the lowest cost. VoIP has you covered there, too. VoIP services are feature-rich, with most calling features included for free. VoiceMail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Block and all those features you pay good money for with a local provider. Now you have low cost, feature-rich service. But there's more....

One of the strengths of VoIP is its versitility and flexability. VoIP is portable, travels wherever you go in the world with high-speed internet access. No need for calling cards, dialarounds, collect calls, or payphones again! Do you travel? Are you in the military? Do you study overseas? VoIP can handle all your calls, anywhere you are.

VoIP allows you to choose your local area code. Since VoIP doesn't depend on geographic location, you can live in Hawaii (virtually) even if you live in Chicago! Family, friends, clients and colleagues can call you locally wherever they are. By having a virtual number in any city of your choice you can save them money for a local call. Try that with your local service provider!
