VoIP Getting Cheaper

from the cheaper-and-cheaper-and-cheaper dept

Just as traditional phone service may be getting more expensive, VoIP appears to be getting cheaper. AT&T, who has abandoned offering traditional phone service to residential locations due to changes in line sharing prices, is now dropping VoIP prices even further. The trend is becoming clearer every day. Traditional phone service continues to get more expensive while VoIP gets cheaper. Yes, there are still some limitations with VoIP, but at some point people are going to start to wonder if those getting around those limitations is really worth paying twice as much.

    911, regulatory fees against VoIP spam, and other social responsibilities do come into play.
