A great advantage of VoIP is that it works similar to email. If you have a very high speed Internet connection or a land phone connected to an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA), you can make any long distance calls at very cheap rates. There are many VOIP service providers who offer unlimited long distance calls for a cheap monthly fee. No fear of making long distance calls, no surcharges and no fear of telephone bills; this is what makes VoIP the telephone of the future.

Most of the VoIP providers have included many features like call waiting, caller ID and call forwarding. Some of them even provide facilities to block calls or to use messages like “away” or ” busy” or “do not disturb”. Another advantage of the VoIP is that they offer three-way calling with no additional charges. Many more options like speed dialling and distinctive rings are also available.

Well, there is no charge or cost involved for a PC-to-PC call provided that VOIP software is installed in both the computers. But there can be a minimal cost involved when calling from PC to phone.

Another great advantage of VoIP is that you can make calls even when you are travelling; VoIP has the advantage of portability. Having a handset, IP phone and Internet accessibility, you can be in touch with your family, business partners and friends even if you are far away from them; no worry about roaming charges, connectivity problems and long distance charges.
