1. Alternatives to landline phone service

US Voip Services
US voip providers will be discussed below . Voip offers a reasonable and
value-rich alternative to some landline services. In some cases the voip
service feature list is as long as and as complete as that of a landline provider.
In other cases one will still need to keep their landline connection–as is the
case when your Voip service does not include E911 call location service.
One of the nice things about voip is that you can make calls essentially any-
where in the US, or Canada–and in some cases even worldwide–all for a flat
fee.
Readers may be intrigued by the “free-internet-call” based services that are
discussed elsewhere on the web. What a reading and examination of those
free internet calling plans will reveal is this: you are severely restricted in
the duration of any 1 call . Further in most cases you are restricted to making
a small number of calls per day. This is impractical for most people who
really want a service that is as useful as existing land line services.
Most of the voip providers discussed below are truly beyond the value
of the “free internet phone call” type of services. These services below will
give unlimited calling in most cases, with few restrictions on amount of calls
placed per day. Differences will emerge as you read and compare.
There are several options available. Depending on what your overall needs
are whether you want the home service, or want the business class service–there
are some surprisingly good choices.

3. include —Caller ID, call Waiting, voicemail, etc. However all of
these features are offered at no further charge to you . There is a
monthly tax of $2.00 for the service.

a handset based entirely on a computer software application–then
voipo.com can accomodate you there too. Voipo.com mates with
Softphones–such the the X11 model feature at —to make computer
based telephone service work.
Google Voice service:
Google gives gmail account holders an option to use voip to carry calls
from landlines and mobile incoming calls. The drawback here is that if you
want to make your mobile phone a voip device, you need a mobile carrier
to begin with.
What Google voice delivers however is some flexibility. You can
receive free incoming calls with mobile phones over the Google voice service
without charges (other than those derived from your phone carrier–be it a
mobile phone or landline).
Google voice will send your calls to voicemail, and transcribe to text your
voicemail messages. You have the option of calling and having audio
playback of the voicemails, or can read the transcription.
