Is VoIP the cheapest way to make international calls?
The main advantage of using VoIP is the cost. All calls to VoIP users are free and landline calls are usually free also, if not lower than other service providers. VoIP phone calls are made over your existing broadband connection and not through your regular phone line (or network) like most traditional phone companies such as BT or TalkTalk. By taking ordinary analogue signals and turning them into digital signals, it allows you to ring people using your broadband connection. For example, Vonage allows you to make unlimited calls either to the UK and/or abroad, all for a low-cost, set monthly fee with prices starting at only 5.99. They currently have 6 call plans to choose from; V-Plan UK offers unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines, while V-Plan US and V-Plan 2 through to V-Plan 5 offer unlimited calls to up to 45 countries including the UK.
