Making Phone Calls On Your Internet Connection
After a time everyone seemed to be jumping into the VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) market. However, the first company to truly perfect and market this technology was Vonage, and they remains the best. Despite the fact that come of Vonage's competitors are much bigger, such as AT&T, Ameritech/SBC, Verizon, etc., the fact that Vonage was first means that they've worked out more of the bugs and deliver better service than any of the competitors.
That said, remember that VOIP is still not "perfect." Even with the best service line clarity is still not always as good as a regular landline, though most of the time it is. VOIP is also susceptible to variations and fluctuations in your Internet service. (You've no doubt experienced times when your Internet connection was slow, etc.) And, lastly, you have to remember that, unless you have everything plugged into a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that, unlike traditional landline phones via local phone service, your VOIP phone stops working when the power goes out. Because local landline phones derive their power from a difference source (directly through the phone line), phone service is seldom interrupted when the power goes out in most modern areas.
