How is voice over internet a savings?

Question

When using phones,PBX,web sites etc..

Answer 1

If you have a broadband connection or DSL, it is hugely cheaper as compared to traditional phone lines. For example, I pay (including taxes), about $17 per month ($208 per year), for unlimited calling anywhere in USA and Canada. The most expensive service I know of (for home service) costs $31 per month (including all taxes) for unlimited calling, but you can pay monthly, instead of for a year in advance. There are also cheaper plans available, if you don't want unlimited calling. The downside of VOIP calling? It is dependant upon your broadband/DSL connection, so if that connection does not work, your phone will not work either. The quality of sound is sometimes not as good as that of a traditional land line, but the difference is actually not that much - you usually have to be carefully searching for faults. And definitely not for the price difference.

Answer 2

I work from home and had a huge bill for long distance. I couldn't use many of the unlimited LD services because they only allow that for residential use. I currently use Vonage and I love it. The business version is only around $50-$60 a month. This is great as opposed to a $200-300 long-distance bill. The resididental version is only $30 a month. It works very well as long as you have a good broad-band internet service.

Answer 3

Because most people already have internet and the cost for Voice over IP service is cheaper than normal phone service. Plus, you typically do get long distance for free.
