The new communication paradigm (Part 4)
What is good about VoIP?
Have you noticed how you can never know or understand all the charges that come with your regular telephone service? VoIP is not anywhere near as bad. Because the internet is a global thing, VoIP is not regulated by the FCC. As a result, it is not taxed the way the standard telephones are taxed. Instead, providers assess fees for access time for network use, and routing through landlines, usually for last miles. But this is not anywhere near the outrageous taxes assessed on standard landlines and usually, no one understands.
Depending on your VoIP plan, it is possible to talk for as long as you wish, without encuring any additional charges, other than your regular service fee.
In addition, you can have several people on the same call from different parts of the world and still encure no additional charges.
Also, because you can use your broadband connection for telephony, there it may not be necessary to maintain a phone line just to make calls. This will save you money that otherwise would go to pay for the telephone line. This is because you will be making your calls through your broadband internet connection.
In most cases, the quality of the call is comparable or better than regular phone.
Furthermore, with the advent of Broadband over Power Lines, BPL, there may not even be a need for cable and DSL, as your power line becomes your high speed connection to the internet.
And unlike landlines, VoIP has the potential for portability.

The main advantage of VoIP Service is the low cost of calls compared to the Traditional Phones. VoIP services don’t require by-the-minute pay for a call. So using this technology for international calls you will save lots of money.
