Broadband Phone - VoIP
In recent weeks Broadband Phone, or VoIP, providers have launched major television campaigns. Let's look at what VoIP is and who some of the better providers are.
VoIP is an acronym for "Voice Over Internet Protocol". Simply put, it is the technology that enables a caller to place calls over the internet, bypassing the traditional long distance carriers. For the most part, Broadband Phone providers offer unlimited calling packages making it an attractive alternative to individuals and business with large long distance bills.
Voip can eliminate the need for a traditional phone line altogether. The user would place calls over their cable internet connection, or over a copper pair wire (same as a phone line) connected straight to a DSL provider. In this case the customer not only saves on long distance, but the local phone bill is eliminated, totally. "So", you say, "Where do I sign-up"?
