Finding the Right VOIP Service

Voice Over Internet Protocol or VOIP for short has exploded in popularity in the last couple of years. VOIP is a great internet technology that allows people with a broadband connection to make phone calls over the internet. Not only is the quality very comparable to land line phone calls, the prices are extremely inexpensive.
There are many services that currently offer VOIP and more companies that are on the way. Here is how to pick the best plan for you.

Most of these services offer monthly subscriptions. Usually they include free unlimited local or domestic calls with inexpensive international calls. Ask yourself what kind of calls do you do the most. If you are calling almost entirely locally or domestically then most of these services are great, however if you make calls internationally then check out each plan for prices to the countries that you call the most.

Do some research on VOIP customer ratings There are a lot of companies offering this service so you can shop around and find the best choice for your customer service requirements. You might want to call a few companies with important questions that you have, if you are on hold for an hour, you know that this might not be the company that you want to rely on for quick answers to VOIP questions.

So shop around and do your research, you will find that VOIP is a great technology if chosen right.
