A couple of years ago, I got rid of my landline phone and got internet phone service through Packet8. It saved me nearly $700 a year and provided me with free caller id, call waiting, and a ton of other features that I have really found useful (example: when I get a voicemail, it is automatically sent to my email address - so I get my messages at work and when I'm traveling on business). I make a lot of long distance calls, which is why my savings are so great. Most people save around $500 a year because the internet phone service provides you with unlimited local and long distance calling for a flat monthly fee ($19.99 for my service).

In order to use internet phone service in your home, you need to have a broadband internet connection (cable is best - for the most cost savings). If you have broadband internet and make any long distance calls at all, you will save a lot of money by switching to internet phone.

I love my VoIP service so much, I got inspired to start a website about it. The site provides a review on the best VoIP providers to consider, and also gives a lot of information about the technology behind internet phone service.

VoIP is not for everyone, but it certainly was the perfect fit for me. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of internet phone service, see my site (listed below).
