Technology Has Many Benefits for Consumers
By Michael Brito
With the current explosion of VoIP (Voice over Internet protocol) in the business world, it’s not surprising that many people in the U.S. are making the switch to VoIP for their home phone. The technology works by routing voice conversations over the Internet via IP networks. VoIP does not use traditional phone lines, but instead uses packet switched networks that do the same thing, but more efficiently and for less money.
This technology has many benefits for consumers and businesses. Below is a list of just some of the benefits that will help you decide if VoIP is right for you!
Feature Rich And Less Expensive
An examination of your current phone bill will reveal additional charges over and above the basic phone service. Call waiting, caller id, voicemail, call forwarding and other features are options requiring additional fees. Add long distance charges and applicable taxes and the typical phone bill can quickly approach $75 to $100 dollars.
VoIP providers offer many different pricing plans. The most popular being a flat rate fee typically $19.95 to $25.00 per month with the majority of the features built-in. This monthly fee also includes unlimited calls throughout the United States and Canada.
VoIP is Portable
Because VoIP is connected to a high-speed Internet connection and not the traditional phone lines, it becomes almost as portable as a cell phone. Essentially, consumers can take their phone number anywhere they move, even if it’s just for a weekend getaway.
Simply pack up your phone adapter, (power supply & cables) and your touch-tone phone. The system can be reconnected anywhere there is a broadband Internet connection, allowing you to make and receive calls as if you were still at home.
If you own a VoIP phone the system is even more portable, simply plug the phone into any broadband Internet connection typically found in most hotels. There’s no need for adaptors and cables.
Choose Your Phone Number
With VoIP, consumers are no longer tied to their local phone number. Many consumers take advantage of this feature when they have friends and family members who live in a different city or state.
Most VoIP providers also offer virtual numbers. A virtual number is an inexpensive secondary line that rings to the primary VoIP line. For example if you live in San Francisco where your primary VoIP phone number has a 415 area code you can order a virtual number for a family member in a different state with your same area code and thus avoid them incurring long distance fees when calling your phone number.
Cost savings, portability and frequent phone calls from relatives are just some of the reasons why you should consider the switch to VoIP. The technology is here to stay and there is no better time to adopt VoIP and start saving on your phone bills.
