A Guide to VoIP for Beginners

Author: Natalie Aranda

What is VoIP?

VoIP is the acronym of Voice over Internet Protocol. To put it simple, VoIP technology allows you to make phone calls (local, long distance or international) with an Internet connection.

Is VoIP Right for Me?

All VoIP providers charge a flat monthly service fee between $20-$50 dependent on the service provider and the plan. If you make a lot of calls especially expensive international calls, the saving from many minutes of free international calls using VoIP will easily justify the flat fee you paid for VoIP service. If you don't talk often but have a high speed Internet connection already, the choice to sign up with a VoIP service is still justified since you could completely drop the standard local and long distance phone services you use. If you don't talk often on the phone and don't have a high speed or broadband Internet connection, VoIP service is likely more expensive that standard phone service. You'll vae to pay for broadband Internet connection.

How do I Sign up for a VoIP Service?
