VoIP Service from Vonage

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service uses a very simple concept - sending the voice from your telephone handset over the Internet as a digitized packet where it is automatically routed to the intended destination. In other words the Internet is used to carry your phone call rather than a dedicated phone circuit. The advantage? By using the Internet as the transmission medium, the time and distance of phone calls is no longer a major factor in the price of calls, meaning that phone calls, and especially long distance calls, are significantly cheaper. Thousands of households across the United States are seeing the benefits each day and are dropping their traditional phone service in favor of VoIP service. Isn't it time that you step out of 1876 and into the 21st century?
