Internet Phone Service: The Low Cost Alternative for Keeping in Touch

Internet Phone Service: The Low Cost Alternative for Keeping in Touch

Are you always looking for ways to save money without cutting back on the things that make you happy? Do you like to talk on the phone until your mouth is as dry as the desert sand? If you answered yes to these questions, then internet phone service is an ideal fit for you. It works over a high-speed internet connection and allows you to keep in touch with family and friends all over the world for pennies.

In order to enjoy the money saving benefits of internet phone service, you must have a high-speed internet connection, either broadband or DSL. Most Internet Phone Service Providers will then send you a Broadband Phone Adapter, or BPA (a device that resembles a modem) that will plug directly into a modem/router. Then, all you have to do is plug your existing phone into the adapter and you can start making calls. The set-up is really easy and usually takes less than five minutes for installation.

The misconception about internet phone service is that you need a computer to use the service. While it is true that most consumers who use internet phone service do have a computer, one is not required to make calls.

So, how much money are you really going to save with internet phone service versus traditional phone service? Most traditional phone companies usually charge between $20 and $30 a month for basic service. This doesn’t include any features like voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting, 3-way calling, etc. Nor does it include any long distance charges. Add these features up and a normal phone bill would typically cost $50 a month. And, if you ever need to disconnect your phone line or perhaps change your phone number because you are receiving unwanted telemarketing calls, you can expect even more fees.

With Internet Phone service, most providers charge between $20 and $25 a month. Not much difference than the traditional phone companies, right? Well, for this price you not only get all the features included, but unlimited calling in the United States and Canada as well. Not bad if you have friends and family living outside of your area code. Most consumers who use internet phone service can save as much as $500 a year and that is just the icing on the cake.

The cost savings of internet phone service is great. But even better is the ability to keep in touch with family and friends without the worries of high phone bills.

    You could actually choose a prepaid plan instead of a yearly contract. Most cell phone service providers like T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T provide prepaid service using which you can use the cell phone service by payment of usage fee beforehand. It offers you the advantage of termination of service whenever you feel like without payment of any termination fee. Check out sites like http://www.billshrink.com for more details on service plans of various cell phone service providers.

    since you are with t-mobile your phone should be a gsm phone (have a sim card). you can insert your sim card into and unlocked phone that uses the gsm network (sim card). so as long as the nokia phone has a sim card slot and is unlocked you can use it.

    This is very expensive. Verizon, Cingular and Sprint offer these PC cards. They will cost $50 with a 2-year agreement. If you want to do it without a contract, then it will be $200 for the PC Card. As for the plans, for unlimited data, it is about $80 – $100. I don't think the limited data is worth it, unless you do not plan to use it much.

    In addition, recently in press release, Cingular is getting UMTS (3.5G technology) set-up by January 2007. You will be able to get 3.5Mbps speed from GTOption's PC Card.

    The type of service you can get to assist her will really depend upon your/her location. There are some more localized carriers (AT and T is NOT one of them, to my knowledge) in some cities which will offer a package deal, but you would have to research them individually. I know of no such deal which can be offered through AT and T, however.

  13. July 1st, 2009 at 10:27 | #13

    its $100 you moron! and its only a 2 year contract and its the same price!

  14. July 1st, 2009 at 11:25 | #14

    at&t's service is amazing. I have never had a problem getting a signal anywhere. it's definatly worth looking into. I'm actually looking into getting a samsung propel myself, it looks really cool.

    I have very good luck with Cingular all over the Chicago area. Rate plans are good and they seem to have a large selection of products.

  16. July 1st, 2009 at 19:58 | #16

    *228+send from your cell phone will only be helpful if the ph has 2 bars of signal to start. If it does then choose option #2, if it doesn't then there's not really anything else that can be done while you are skiing.

    Maybe Koodo,

    But that might not be in your area, get a plan, unlimited texting and other options you want,

  18. July 2nd, 2009 at 01:06 | #18

    I recommend Sprint. I am not sure if they need a deposit, but I am pretty sure they might require it. They have good phones, plans and good service.
