Five Reasons to Buy VoIP
Believe it or not, there are still a few people out there
who just don't get it when it comes to VoIP. With services
like Skype, or Google Talk, it is easy to confuse what a
true VoIP plan really is. Skype, Google Talk, and the like would be more accurately
described as PC to phone or click to call VoIP services. A
true VoIP service uses an adaptor, enabling you to make and
receive calls with your home telephone. I think it is important people know the difference between
click to call and true VoIP when deciding on a VoIP plan.
For all intents and purposes we will be discussing five good
reasons to buy a true VoIP plan. The biggest reason to buy a VoIP plan is also the most
obvious. VoIP is tremendously cheaper on both local and long
distance telephone service, plus available calling features. Number two on our list would be the dynamic features of VoIP
phone service. VoIP enables you to have a phone number
outside your own area code. You can take your adaptor with
you when you travel too. Number three is the cost effective ability to add on to
existing service. Lets say you want a second phone line.
With VoIP there is no need to install new equipment, and in
most cases this will only cost around five dollars. Number four is what I like to call the big trade off. By
switching from dial up Internet to broadband, and switching
to VoIP for phone service, you are acctually getting better
service for less money. Last but certainly not least, VoIP providers do not charge
hidden fee's. Hidden fee's can make up to 20% of your total
monthly phone bill. The only extra fee with VoIP is a 3%
federal excise tax based on usage. In closing, when looking for a VoIP service, make sure it is
true VoIP. You only need a cable broadband or DSL
connection, plus an adaptor to get started. Look for a VoIP
company with a money back guarantee.
