If you have broadband internet service and make long distance calls, you can easily save hundreds of dollars a year by switching to internet phone service. I subscribed to Packet8 VoIP service a few months ago and now have unlimited "any time" local and long distance calling (including calls to Canada) for $19.95 a month. The quality is excellent and the best part is I'm saving over $500 a year on telephone expenses. I had my land line phone disconnected and no longer have a long distance bill. I was also able to reduce my cell phone plan down to the bare minimum, which saves $20 a month right there. Another "bonus" is I get all the features like call waiting, voicemail, caller id, call forwarding, etc... for free.

If you don't make long distance calls and use dial up internet, VoIP probably won't save you much money. Otherwise, you can save a lot!
