Call Anywhere In The World For Free

Online, June 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Large numbers of people are switching off their land lines in order to save money with VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). As a result, there is a corresponding growth among VOIP providers. Each of these companies offers a variety of features with its services. The feature that attracts most customers initially is the savings. VOIP users generally pay far less than people who depend on land lines for their phone calls. However, with so much competition, it pays to compare the services and see what you are getting for your money.

Vonage

This company is one of the leading providers of VOIP services. In addition to their low rates, they are also known for excellent service and easy installment. After agreeing to their monthly plan costs of just $24.99 per month, you can qualify for an initial three months of service for just $9.99. Provided that you have a high-speed internet connection and a home phone, you will be able to install the system yourself by following the simple instructions in the installment box that they will ship to your home or office. The basic plan covers all calls to the US and Canada. You can also get limited minutes of calls for lower monthly fees.

Skype

Skype is a pioneer in this business because it was one of the first companies to offer video service in addition to voice service. It also operates according to a nearly unique membership system which allows free calls to all members of the Skype service while charging for calls made to land lines and mobile phones using a debit-based system of user accounts. Rates for these calls are extremely low. For example, a call to China costs just 1.2 cents each minute. Skype has continued to push the envelope by offering features such as file transfer and video conferences to its customers.

Rebtel

Rebtel is another pioneer in this pioneering industry. Like Skype, it offers free calls to anyone within the Rebtel circle. They also cut international rates by as much as 98%. They advertise that there are no hidden fees that will hike up the cost but that is very similar to all other services. This company has ventured into new territory by allowing its customers to talk to any location in the world via 3G and Wifi for free. Rebtel is also good at keeping its rates out in the open. If you are curious about how much it will cost to make a call to a foreign country, you can just visit their website and enter the name of the country in a box to get an instant quote.

Other Providers

There are a number of other VOIP companies out there in competition with these giants.

• ITP offers two months free for its service, which costs just $8.32 per month after that. As with many other VOIP providers, ITP advertises that it does not require contracts and does not charge any installation or set up fees.
• ViaTalk is only slightly more expensive than ITP at $8.47 per month. It does not include any free months of service but it does offer a free second line and 60 minutes of free international calls.
• Phone Power has the cheapest plan out there at just $4.99 month. With this service you also receive a free hour of international calls and a second line at no charge.

There are numerous other ways to save money with VOIP. The competition has been good for customers because it has done more than lower the monthly cost of telephones. It has also spurred these companies to add increasingly generous features to their basic services. For even more free information about VoIP, go to our website: Cheap Calls.
