Broadband Phone vs Traditional Service

As you may have noticed, the latest trend in telecommunications is a movement to Broadband IP (internet phone). At 1010phonerates it is our business to find the best long distance deals. Naturally, we’ve been hearing a lot about VOIP (another frequently used term for internet phone) and wanted to see what all the hype is about. This article covers the basics and highlights the benefits of choosing Broadband over your traditional residential line.

To start with, there are a few things you need to access Broadband IP:
1.) Broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, etc.)
2.) Broadband phone or a router to use with a normal phone
3.) Subscription to an Internet Phone service

Now, you might be wondering why moving to broadband is a good idea. Well, the greatest selling point is HUGE SAVINGS. Most services have a flat monthly fee that includes unlimited long distance in the U.S. and to several other countries. If your international calling destination is not included in the free package, rates are super cheap! In additional to unlimited calling, you get lots of great features (like: voicemail, call-waiting, caller ID, 411, 911) for FREE! Broadband IP also offers calling possibilities not available with regular phone service. For example, you can select a phone number in a different area code. If most of your contacts live in a different state, you can choose a number in their local area. Or, you can keep your present number. In a nutshell, you get to enjoy a quality connection and sophisticated features, without worrying about the length of your calls because your monthly charges will always be the same.

So, how much does this all cost? Amazingly, some plans are as low as $7.95/month. There are several affordable options designed to meet your specific calling needs.
