Voice over internet protocol (VOIP) telephony is one of the hottest fields of current telephony technology. High speed broadband providers can now offer VOIP phone service at a fraction of the cost of land lines with better quality to all customers. Not surprisingly, the success of the VOIP technology has lead to a glut of new broadband providers, all competing for customers. The buyer reaps all the rewards of reduced costs and more features caused by this competitive market. Consumers looking for a broadband phone provider should go online and read reviews of the top providers, as well as compare prices and features. Probably the biggest name in broadband providers is Vonage.The marketing of Vonage has made it seem like they are the only voip broadband provider. Vonage is considered by many industry watchers to be a middle of the road service in that it has a moderate feature set and a moderate price . Vonage is only one choice and there are many more broadband providers that offer the same good service and standard features to choose from. Vonage and other similar services are easy to install even if you are not a computer wizard. Google Talk, SIP and Skype to name a few are basic internet voip services without all the features but are less expensive than many competitors. Basic services such as PC to PC calls are provided by Google Talk and Skype. This is commonly done using a headset or computer microphone and speakers, but it is also possible to purchase an adapter that allows users to use their existing cordless and corded phones. SIP activated devices allow communication between PCs without the monthly bill. Using SIP directly requires more work and technical knowledge than the other communications, but the cost savings along with the cool factor of using the protocol directly are draws for some users. Know your office requirements before talking to a broadband provider about the established budget. To reduce your choices check the internet for pro and cons of the providers.
