Why Use A VOIP Phone Service?

Over the last couple years, the number of households switching from traditional land line service to VOIP phone service has skyrocketed. The quality of VOIP phone service has significantly improved over the last few years and the reasons why consumers should switch to VOIP have also increased. As the VOIP industry receives increasingly positive feedback, more consumers are willing to switch.

Why Switch To VOIP?

1. It's Easy

Setting up VOIP service is very easy. Just plug the phone adapter into router. You don't even need a special phone, just plug your regular phone into the adapter. Most VOIP companies offer 24/7 tech support to help you if you need any assistance.

2. It Can Save You Lot's Of $$$

The primary reason many consumers are choosing VOIP is the price. The standard VOIP plan typically includes unlimited local and long distance calling within the United States and Canada, with far more features than a standard phone plan has, for roughly $20-25. Additionally, International dialing rates are usually a fraction of the cost charged by traditional phone companies. Some VOIP companies even include certain international calls for free.

3. Lots Of Features

VOIP companies often include a number of common and important features for free with their packages. You will have caller ID with name, three way calling, call return and voicemails. One really neat voicemail feature is the option of having the voicemail messages sent to your e-mail account. You can play the messages on your computer while still on the phone. You can also save the e-mail message and have a permanent record of the call or e-mail the message to another person. With VOIP service, you have on-line access to the records of your phone calls, usually for the last 30 days or more.

Why Not VOIP?

The one risk with VOIP phone service is the need for electricity to power the modem. But with most households having at least one cell phone, you will still be able to make and receive calls even in the event of a power outage. VOIP companies have even added 911 emergency service so you can be located easily by your local police or fire department or ambulance service.
