VoIP Broadband Phone Instead of a Traditional
Phone Line
VoIP telephony shares the broadband Internet connection with
your computer to avoid the cost of a conventional phone line.
This enables competitive service providers to offer lower cost
bundled local and long distance service. Many different packages
are available, so you only have to pay for the service you really
need. VoIP works with both DSL and Cable broadband service. 
In general, you'll pay less for a bundle
of local and long distance minutes with many calling features
included that you will with traditional phone line service. International
rates are exceptionally good with most VoIP services
Use our Affordable
VoIP comparison shopping tool to find the right plan for
you. It works for both residential and business users, and lets
you select only those VoIP services that give you a free analog
telephone adaptor, if you wish.
What About Triple-Play Bundles
The latest way to bundle services sounds like something from
a baseball game. It's called triple play. The 3 services involved
in the triple are telephone, broadband Internet, and television.

bundle deals for your location.
Cellular as Your One Phone Service
Many people, especially those just getting their
own places who haven't had landlines are deciding that their
cell phone can do double duty as their home phone. If you get
your Internet service from a Cable TV operator and don't need
a landline to support a security system or fax machine, you can
save the cost of a landline completely. Another advantage is
that you have only one phone number no matter where you are,
making it easy for friends and business associates to reach you.

in-state, state to state and international calling. 
Switching long distance services is easy
and is handled by the new long distance provider you select.
In general, you don't have to do anything once you order your
new service. In a week or so, the switch will have been made
and you'll be paying less for your long distance calls.

International Calls on a Cell Phone?
Most cellular service plans are designed for domestic use with
a package of local and long distance minutes included. But what
if you want to call overseas? The extra charges from your cellular
carrier may be large enough to make your eyes pop out when you
get the bill. A better option is to keep your cellular plan and
use a special pre-paid
international calling service to make those really long distance
calls, starting at a few cents per minute.
