Using VoIP is a Smart Way to Economize

Does your telephone monthly bill cost too much? Are you chafing at the additional fees and taxes the telephone company has charged you? If you answered yes to these two questions then VoIP is just right for you.

Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP is one of today's prevailing communication technologies. Imagine making telephone calls using the Internet through your computer or your telephone. That is exactly the technology VoIP brings to you that no wonder, it is gaining lots of users from all over the world.

What makes VoIP favorable is not just the way it's engineered to let people choose the medium where they'd want to communicate. It's actually the prudence of VoIP in letting users avoid wasting money that makes it worthwhile.

When you use VoIP for telephone calling, low cost is a guarantee. You can save up to $50 or more on your monthly telephone bill. And this is actualized through VoIP's "limited" and "unlimited" calling plans.

Limited calling plans enables you to call someone for a limited time. This could cost you for as low as $15-$20 monthly. On the other hand, unlimited calling plans let you talk till you drop at any given time. And this is not just applied to local domestic calls. There are also unlimited plans for long-distance calls. Imagine how practical this is if you make dozens of long distance telephoning. Certainly, a hearty amount of savings will be generated for you in a course of a year.

However, if you turn out to be someone who makes phone calls internationally then VoIP is still for you though unlimited calling plans doesn't apply to these. What generous telephone company would ever charge you as low as $.10 per minute for international calls? Only thru VoIP can this be achieved. If you get lucky, you may find a VoIP provider that offers unlimited calling plans for international calls among its own subscribers. Visualize the rewards if you have relatives to call in other countries.

Furthermore, if you travel oftentimes, you'd better take advantage of VoIP. You only have to bring your adapter and hook it to high-speed Internet then you're ready to go. Calls will be made through someone's VoIP number and it doesn't matter wherever the person is. This means no long distance fees on your hotel and cellular phone bill.

Also, VoIP provides three-way calling, voice mail, etc. and using such comes with no fee, which is impossible if done through a landline phone company.

And best of all, unlike your regular phone company, in using VoIP, you will not charged taxes and regulatory fees.
