Common scenarios these days are, your kids are studying, working abroad or your family are living in spain or france, while you are in sunny california. They are so far and yet just a phone call away.
Phone calls is one of the most common solution for communications even in the era of high speed internet and skype. It is just simply practical and effective to stay in touch. Most of us would use regular phone system, which would be very costly if done in regular basis. But, now, there is a new kind of phone service which save you at least 70% of your phone bills. With Voip phone service, you can make international calls with just a fraction of what regular phone service would cost you.
For instance AT&T landline would cost you $0.16/min to spain and $0.13/min to France. With VoIP phone system, calls to spain would only cost you $0.01 to $0.03 / min, and calls to France would range from $0.02 to $0.04/min (you can compare the calling rate to country on our residential voip compare page). If you compare 16 cents/min to 2 cents/min and 13 cents/min to 3 cents/minute, the answer is really obvious.
Depending on the features you want to have and the country you call most, it would be advisable to do your own comparison. Feel free to use our voip speedtester to find out whether your high speed internet is suffice to support voip phone service.
