Telephones occupy a higher plane in the scheme of modern telecommunications technology. One of the most important modes of remote communications, it presents people with a convenient and easy way to touch base with anyone who is not with them. Because of its importance, almost every home in the United States owns at least one line, while there is always a phone ringing in offices and businesses at any time of the day.

A newer, but still equally vital, communications channel is the Internet. Developed in the second half of the 20th century, its usage has caught wildfire in the last couple of years, effectively breaking some of the long-held traditions of doing things.

E-mails and instant messaging (or chatting) are used by top-level executives and rank and file employees. The Internet is also heavily used for sharing files, research, on-line shopping, and entertainment purposes.

Its primary purpose, however, is still communication.

A few years ago, the Internet-based phone service called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) became a huge thing in the market. Considered a breakthrough in the communications technology, it has since won over subscribers and customers looking for an affordable way of connecting with friends and family, and of conducting business. Some people have even cut their telephone lines and shifted to VoIP.

VoIP is popular because it works just like your conventional telephone. However, VoIP relies on the Internet to transmit and receive audio data, in the process converting your voice digital audio data. This means that you will receive and transmit clearer digital audio data at a much faster rate.

The fact that it uses the Internet to transfer and receive digital data, makes VoIP calls much cheaper than the conventional landline phone calls. With the landline phone, a five-minute call can cost a lot of money. Internet voice calls of the same duration costs a fraction of the landline charges. Some VoIP phone providers even offer free long distance and overseas call.

Besides free phone calls, VoIP providers usually throw in extra phone features, such as three-way calling, caller ID, audio conferencing, video conferencing, call waiting and return call, in the package. Traditional phone companies also offer these services, albeit, with extra cost.

If you are interested in getting VoIP installed in your home, get in touch with the VoIP service providers nearest you. There are quite a number of VoIP service providers, so it is best to study all their packages and choose the one which suits your needs and requirements best. Even with you scrutinizing each provider, there is no guarantee that the one you chose will deliver what it promised in its sales pitch.

With many providers offering a trial period (usually 30 days), you may now test the quality of their services. If you are not satisfied, you can simply inform the company that you are no longer interested to use their services. If you do this within the trial period, you will be refunded.

Here are some things that can guide you in choosing the right provider. Look for one that offers maximum benefits to their clients, including free ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter), free or low cost IP phones, among other things.

For the best outcomes, choose the company trusted by your community. You can confer with your friends, colleagues to find out which service provider offers the best ones.
