VOIP Phone Service - Cheap International Calls using the High Speed INTERNET

VoIP has changed the telecommunication world for good.  It combines local and long distance phone service into one package at very low rates.  In addition, most VoIP plans come loaded with features at no additional cost.  For those with a high speed INTERNET connection (DSL or Cable Modem) a VoIP Phone is a great way to slash the cost of home phone service.  Forget the days of $100 phone bills.  With a VoIP phone, local and unlimited long distance phone service can be purchased for as less than $20 per month. 

Many people fear VoIP because they think it is complex and involves computers.  Actually, it is really very simple to install and use.  It only uses the INTERNET connection and does not involve a home computer.  The VoIP phone service provider will supply a special modem (usually free) that is connected to any high Speed INTERNET connection with a cable and a standard telephone is plugged into the modem.  That is all that is require.  Calls can be made or received over a VoIP phone just like any traditional telephone and in many cases the call quality is better.  Most people cannot tell the difference when using a standard telephone or a VoIP Phone.  

VoIP has a few disadvantages over traditional phone service but not many.  For one thing, it will only work when  high speed INTERNET service is available so it is important to have reliable INTERNET service.  Also, in most cases it will not work with home alarm systems so it may be important to keep a cheap land line for home security.  However, even with these shortcomings, it is the way to go for home or business phone service for anyone who already has a high speed INTERNET connection and wants to reduce monthly expenses. 

The problem is finding a VoIP phone service that is right for you.  There are many service providers and they offer slightly different packages.  The traditional phone and cable companies offer VoIP service but their rates are high and they offer little added value.  All VoIP phones use similar technology so there is little reason to pay a high price for VoIP.  It is better to find a VoIP plan that fits your calling pattern.  If you make frequent international calls, than try to find a plan that offers unlimited calling to the countries you call or offers cheap international rates.  If you make few long distance calls than choose a plan that has limited long distance and a low price.  There are also pay-as-you-go plans that may be ideal for people who do not have a consistent calling pattern.  These charge a small monthly fee for service and charge extra for each long distance call.  There are so many different options that it pays to shop and find a plan that fits your calling pattern.  We have several ideas in our VoIP Shop.

International Callback - Cheap International Calls to the USA and other Locations from any country.

Traditional international call back is used to make cheap international calls by dialing a special phone number in the USA or other third country, letting it ring once and hanging up.  A computer at the other end will recognize the account and "callback" the customer any place in the world.  The customer answers the phone and can then place low cost international calls to any location in the world through the third country network at low cost.  Callback phone service is especially popular with ex-pats who work and/or live overseas in countries with monopoly phone companies.  In many cases it is extremely expensive to make international calls from these countries.  Also, these countries do not offer a wide selection of phone cards or they are also an expensive alternative.  Callback plans typically have much cheaper international rates and are very flexible.  An account can be set up and activated on line. Callback service is normally prepaid by credit card or by transferring cash through Pay Pal or by some other means. 

 Callback Phone Service

Several countries actively block traditional callback phone service in order to protect their monopoly phone companies from outside competition.  This is fairly easy to do with traditional callback because it work using caller ID technology.  If caller ID is blocked or simply not supplied than traditional callback will not work because the computer does not know who is calling.  Callback providers have been able to get around this by offering a couple of other products.  These are generally called Web and SMS triggered callback.  Using web call, a callback call is triggered by sending an e-mail message to a computer in a third country.  The computer will than automatically make a call to the caller and connect them with the phone number being called.  SMS triggered callback works in a similar way except it uses an SMS message from a cell phone to activate a call.  Web and SMS callback can basically be used from any location in the world where phone service is available.

Cheap International Calling with Prepaid Phone Cards 

If you haven't used a phone card in a while than you may not know what you are missing.  Phone cards have changed.  There are still cheap phone cards that offer poor call quality and some come loaded with hidden fees but there are also high quality international phone cards that offer top quality connections and honest rates.  For people who want to save money on international calls or those who travel and want to make cheap international calls while on the road, phone cards are hard to beat.  They offer more convenience and flexibility than any other product for the cost.  Customers can open a prepaid phone card account on-line and can add funds, exchange phone cards and manage their account via the INTERNET from any location in the world.  There is also a wide variety of high quality phone cards so virtually any user can find one that fits their specific needs.

Several premium quality phone cards also include handy features.  It is relatively easy to find phone cards on-line that offer PIN free dialing, where calls are placed through an access number without dialing a PIN code or account number, an auto-recharge function and even an on-line call history so the cost and details for each call can be reviewed.  Some phone cards, like the Continental Phone Card are very versatile.  The continental card can be used for conference calling, for  PC-to-phone service, for prepaid VoIP service, for international callback and more. It is a very versatile telecommunication product that can even be used as a phone card from over 70 countries.

Like many things in our lives, technology has changed phone cards.  In this case for the better, they offer better quality, more features and are cheaper than ever before.  If you want to make cheap international phone calls than try a premium phone card.  You will likely be surprised at the high quality service you receive for the price.
