Why Should You Use VOIP Instead of a Landline

103008_rg_voip_01.jpg
A lot of people might be wondering why you need to use VOIP instead of a traditional landline. VOIP has become extremely popular, thanks to Skype, a service that lets you use your computer to talk to your friends over a broadband internet connection. Right now, most TV cable companies and phone companies offer VOIP handset deals. The reason why they are so popular is because in most place, the old phone company had always the monopoly of landlines. Calls between cities in the same country are considered as long distance, and don’t even start looking at international long distance calls. The costs are pretty steep. But first of all, what is VOIP? VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, a way to talk over the internet.

    The local calls from landlines are so expensive that customer cannot think of making international/long distances calls.Thanx to this new VoIP technology which is making it call so cheaper that now we can make long distance call with out thinking too much about its cost.

    Now we can make cheap international calls from our mobile phones..thanx to mobile VoIP service providers.. New technologies like mobile VoIP are bringing many facilities for customers like me who live abroad and need to call their family n friends back home oftenly..) I have heard a lots of good things about mobile VoIP, but also heard from my friends who have been using VoIP from quite some time that some service providers have cheap rates but not good quality some have support issues etc. Having said that they still believe that using a good VoIP service provider saves a lot of your money on daily phone calls whether it’s a local or an international calls or sending SMS.. So I am also thinking of permanently switching to some good mobile VoIP service. Last week I happen to try this new service called Vopium.com on my Nokia N82 as they provide you with 30 free minutes to test their services. At first I felt there was some distortion but as i continued it faded, and then I talked for about half an hour with my family and friends back in my home country without worrying too much about my pocket…
