Exactly how much could you save by switching to a residential VoIP service? Consider the following: if you were currently using Comcast’s Local With More residential telephone service (which is actually digital system, but it still relies on old analog infrastructure), you would be spending $34.95/month for unlimited local calling plus $0.05/minute for long distance calls.
With a Freedom Unlimited residential VoIP plan with Phone Power, you would spend $5.99/month for unlimited local and long distance calls.
VoIP is very popular for home phone service because it is cheap and works well. Many VoIP service providers have specifically-designed residential VoIP plans. Residential VoIP is cheaper than business VoIP because it doesn’t offer all of the same services as business VoIP plans. Most VoIP companies assume, rightly, that you won’t need most business-class features in your home.
If you are unfamiliar with VoIP, there is a lot you should know about it. Switching to VoIP could save you a lot of money on your home or office phone bill, and it is very easy to use and install.
While VoIP is very easy to install, and requires very little hassle, there are a few things that you will need to use a VoIP system:
If you are buying hardware for a residential VoIP system, start by evaluating the equipment you already have. If you already have a few phones or a fax machine, you may still be able to use them with your VoIP system. If your equipment is digital, then there’s no problem. But if your phones or fax machine are analog devices (and if they’re older devices, they’re more likely to be analog), you may need to replace them or get an adapter.
In-depth research is the best way to go for anyone in search of an ideal home phone service solution. Consumers should take their time during this process to ensure they get value for their money. They should look at three main aspects: price, benefits/features, and reliability of each service provider before making a final decision. Every consumer looking for a residential phone service aims to find a cost-effective option, which at the same time comes with features that will aid in increasing their productivity. Also, consumers value reliability of any product.

Although MyRatePlan covers services like wireless that use the latest technology, I am not the earliest adaptor of some of these things. I just got an iPod a few weeks ago -- making me possibly one of the last people to have one of these.
Then, there's VoIP. Although we have developed some great content in this area, I didn't make the switch myself until a few weeks ago, when I signed up for Vonage. I was a bit skeptical about the voice quality and how easy it would be to hook up.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has just reported that, as of 12/31/04, there were 181.1 million wireless subscribers in the U.S. and 178 million landline (wired) lines. This is the first time wireless has surpassed wireline, and it is unlikely for that trend to reverse in the foreseeable future.
