Are you ready to switch to Voice over IP (VoIP) at your home or office?

Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) technology is one of the newest trends in telecommunications for home and business. Offering unlimited calling plans, inexpensive international and national long distance, plus a host of formerly expensive calling features, VoIP has changed the way we reach out and connect with others. This website will give you information on how to select a plan, and will give you other information on setting up this kind of phone system for your home or business.

There are many new offerings in this telecommunications arena, with heavy hitters like AOL, Verizon, and AT&T entering the arena. Newer companies like Vonage and ViaTalk are doing their best to capture greater market share.

One of the main advantages of setting up a VoIP system is that it is very affordable, with unlimited calling plans running about $25 a month (or less). This can be a huge savings for consumer, compared to standard basic (copper) phone line charges of $15-$17 a month which don't include long distance or any of the features like call-waiting, call-forwarding, or voicemail.

For the business owner, switching to VoIP can save thousands of dollars a year on national and international calls. Plus, many service providers offer toll-free numbers, extra lines, plus call roll-over, call-forwarding and other features valuable to business owners. Also, these plans offer the option of soft phones, which allow you to take your VoIP plan anywhere you go- all you need is a high speed internet connection. Gone are the days of expensive charges from the hotel for local and long distance calls. With this kind of softphone, these charges can be placed on your existing calling account.

Deciding to switch to VoIP might be an easy decision, given the cost savings, flexibility, and host of calling features which are standard on most plans. However, some people feel daunted by the steps in setting up a VoIP system for their home or business. We have a free e-course which can help.

An Introduction to VoIP

If you enjoy learning about new computer technologies, you probably have already heard about VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an emerging set of applications which allows you to make telephone calls over the Internet. It is already starting to replace existing telephone networks, with some people and businesses opting to cancel their traditional phone line and use VoIP instead.
 
Originally developed to provide voice communication between computer users in different locations, VoIP has now developed into a telephone network in its own right. People using VoIP can call any telephone anywhere in the world and can receive calls on telephone sets connected to the Internet or Local Area Network (LAN).
