Why is an internet phone service better?

VOIP, internet phones, internet phone services are all one and the same thing. Voice over internet protocol is a respectively new mode of communication which uses internet. Even though it is making a real name for itself but still the question that every fundamentalist would ask why switch to internet phone service when a perfectly good working age old telephone system exists. This article aims in making that point clear.

Telephones have been in our lives for generations; it has helped us over time in every possible situation and has never disappointed rather after every test it has grew and evolved into something better. Despite all their qualities they have been simply expensive; and this is where internet phone service is better than the latter.

Internet phone service is quickly replacing telephones, because it not only gives cheap communication but it has a service which equal to that of the traditional landlines. Filled with many extra features for which users had to pay extra previously. Before advent of internet phone service a person had to roughly pay around 30$ for a simply calling service and over 60$ per month for a service which has basic added features like voice mail and call filtering etc. but with internet phone service a user gets all features as a part of the parcel, for a minimal rate that is almost one-third of what they previously paid. Also they all can avail many extra features as an added incentive in their respective calling package.

Unlike traditional landlines Internet phone services provide wide variety of calling packages ranging from segment to segment and person to person. Every user can choose a package that is best for him, and enjoy some thing different. Unlike previously there is a wide range of choices for a user to choose from because there are number of companies giving almost same coverage and same service to the market; resulting in lower, cheaper and more competitive service.

With Internet phone services a user get most cheap international calling rates which are of an average of .02$ per minute all around the world. Long distance calling ahs been virtually revolutionized by VOIP telephony. Calling any loved one abroad is no longer a trouble.

The best feature of Internet phone service is the freedom that they offer freedom to choose your own device, freedom to choose any package and freedom to go any where having same number. All you need is an internet connection to stay connected. You can take the same number and take it to any place where you get a WIFI connection and you are up and ready to go. Internet phone services even provide virtual number facility with which by staying in one place you can avail the number of any other area code.

Though power shortage and lack of internet connection pose a threat to Internet phone services and is a hurdle in path of VOIP replacing traditional landlines completely but with time it will surely over come and evolve into a complete communication medium.
