Top 5 Reasons VoIP Is Better Than Regular Phone Service
Monday, May 15, 2006
VOIP used to be strictly reserved for nerd-to-nerd communication. You had to be tech-savvy. You couldn't use your regular phone. And the voice quality? Not so great. Big phone companies couldn't have cared less about voip.
Fast forward to the present and they're running scared. Not only has voip come of age—it's giving the telecom giants a serious run for their money. Check out the top 5 reasons people are dumping their old phone company and switching to voip:
1. Local and Domestic long distance are usually included free in your basic plan. Some plans offer unlimited minutes, while others work like cell phone plans, allotting blocks of minutes for your local and long distance. If you go over those minutes, the per-minute rate charged is usually a lot cheaper than the rate you'd pay with a traditional phone company. 2. You can save 80% - 90% on international rates. Unless you're calling Canada or Puerto Rico. They're usually considered Domestic long distance. 3. voip customers pay less for premium features like Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Voice Mail, Call Return, Repeat Dialing, Speed Calling, Priority Ringing, Call Blocking, and Three Way Calling, to name a few. Most traditional phone companies charge extra for these features, while voip providers tend to include them in your plan, or offer them at a very reduced rate. 4. voip providers make it easy to get started. They provide all the equipment you'll need and it's so easy to set up, anyone can do it. If you can plug in a phone, you can set up your voip. 5. Voice quality has improved so much that many users can't tell the difference between landlines and voip. Most consumers rate their calls as similar to those made on cell phones with good reception. voip internet phone service providers offer everything you're used to and even add extra features you can't get with plain old telephone service. You'll save money, have more control over your calls, and they'll even let you try it risk free! Ask about your provider's p.s. Don't forget to check out all the voip Features
