5 Reason Switching to VoIP

By: Joel Ng

If you would like to take advantage of the low cost and extra features of VoIP, you may decide to replace your traditional telephone service with a VoIP service, Here are 5 reason why switching to VoIP.

1. Low-cost

The biggest advantages of VoIP is the low-cost. The basic monthly fee is lower than PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and the price also includes services such as call display and call forwarding that traditional telephone companies charges extra for.
Basic VoIP plans start as low as $5.99 a month. If you have a fast Internet connection (DSL or cable) you can make PC-to-PC phone calls anywhere in the world for free.

2. Free calling feature

VoIP users can enjoy many other free calling features, this make VoIP attractive. Call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, caller ID and three-way calling are some of the many services included with Internet telephone at no extra charge. You can also send data such as pictures and documents at the same time you are talking on the phone.

3. Unlimited long distance call

You can also sign up with a VoIP service provider which charges a monthly fee in return for unlimited calls within a certain geographic area. For example, some VoIP services in the United States allow you to call anywhere in North America at no extra charge. Overseas calls are charged at a relatively small rate.

4. Portability

You can make and receive phone calls wherever there is a broadband connection simply by signing in to your VoIP account. This makes VoIP as convenient as e-mail - if you are traveling, simply pack a headset or Internet phone and you can talk to your family or business associates for almost nothing

5. Easy to Install

A computer is not necessary but makes it more convenient to access your VoIP account.
The basic equipment need for VoIP is a broadband modem (either cable or DSL), a router, and an IP phone. Simply plug the router into the modem and plug the IP phone into the router. There is no need for service calls to get equipment installed.
