Anyone with family or business partners in foreign countries is all too familiar with how expensive it is to hear their voices with traditional telephone companies. Calls made to suppliers or loved ones should never have to be timed, since these calls go best when there aren’t any time constraints. But with the prices regular phone companies gouge for, how can callers relax enough to simply talk?
Switching phone systems may not seem like an obvious way to go “green”, but homes and businesses that switch to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephone system can save more than just money. Here are some of the many ways that VoIP is good for the environment, too.
Distance can either make the heart grow fonder or make it wander, and communication plays a big role in the direction the heart chooses. Thanks to social networking sites and email, it’s easier to keep in touch with friends and family spread out around the world.

Facebook recently announced its addition of VoIP calling application for the iPhone, iPad, and Itouch for Facebook subscribers in the US and Canada.
Because Facebook holds such a prominent position in today’s society, its VoIP addition is causing worldwide buzz. The masterminds behind Facebook have carefully planned out the introduction and implementation of VoIP services to the social networking site, making some wonder what exactly the benefits of VoIP service are when otherwise used in the home or business setting.
There is a battle over telecom superiority, and the consumer is the spoils of war.
In one corner is hosted VoIP, providing extensive features with a small regular monthly fee.
In the other, are multi-national telecom giants, charging their users high fees for services that are eerily similar to those provided by smaller VoIP companies.
Indeed, today many telecom service providers use the same basic digital technology to provide consumer phone service. So the question remains, why does the cost of service differ so greatly?
The "power" in Phone Power was missing on Wednesday, as the VoIP phone service provider suddenly lost connectivity. Phone Power customers were unable to make calls or contact the VoIP service provider, whose website was also down.
Luckily, the residential phone service has also tapped into the "power" (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk) of the Social Web — namely microblogging — and was able to get the word out via Twitter, posting this note about their status:
