The big advantage is VoIP may save you money depending on
how much you are currently spending for local and long-
distance calls. What you will need to do is get the total
cost the phone company is charging and compare it against a
VoIP plan that interests you. With most plans, you get free
calls within the U.S. and Canada for a low flat rate.
International calls usually have very low rates with no
connection fees. For both residential customers and
businesses that make a lot of long distance and
international calls, the savings can be several hundred
dollars a year.

Another advantage is with the features available with VoIP.
Features such as caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding,
3 way conferencing and voice mail are usually included at
no extra cost. With the phone company, these services are
usually extra.

In addition, you can make free phone calls anywhere there
is a high speed Internet connection available. That means
you can be in another state or even in another country and
make calls as if you were back at your home or business.
You will just need to bring your phone adapter along with
you and possibly a phone in case one is not available
