Find out how VoIP changes long distance

How has VoIP changed residential long distance?

VoIP uses the Internet to route calls; traditional long distance companies use a variety of networks and interchanges to route the call. With this setup, each long distance adds a small charge to the call, eventually jacking up the rate. Since VoIP doesn't use these other companies and doesn't have to pay them, VoIP long distance doesn't add a charge.

So, VoIP cuts out the middlemen.

Additionally, because of the way that it routes calls, VoIP makes every call a local call. Instead of using multiple long distance companies in a long train, VoIP sends the call to the local network of the region being called.

Why should I use VoIP instead of a long distance company?

1 reason: VoIP residential long distance is cheaper than traditional long distance.

Most of the VoIP providers above include long distance calls in the cost of their subscription; in fact, most VoIP providers don't charge extra for long distance calls.

If you happen to get a metered VoIP plan, you will pay the same amount for a local call as you will for a long distance call. And usually that per-minute cost is low.

What do I need to use VoIP?

  • A high speed internet connection
  • A VoIP service provider
  • A computer with a headset or an IP phone.

You can also use an analog telephone adapter to convert your traditional phone for use with VoIP.
