What exactly happens is that I work in telecommunication industry. I just finished doing a little research because I like to know a few things more and...
And, guess what? I just discovered like one of voip providers put monthly cost of voip service on their website. To be honest it happens all the time, for example you see cost of $10 per month but at the end of the whole process with your details, credit card, etc. you will discover the final cost of $35 per month. The first cost is without tax. It was one of the voip services in U.S.
A little sneaky, don`t you think?
So, I decided to share with you the truth about voip service and video phone. I mean exactly voip vs video phone, the prons and cons.
Let`s begin...
PRONS
Voip (voice over internet protocol) is cheaper than traditional land lines because all calls from voip go through the internet, that`s why calls are at lower rates. You can be able to call for free from voip to voip. You have more features than traditional phone services.
And, here they are: voice mail, call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, call return/last number redial, audio conferencing-three way calling, online account management and billing.
Local and international calls are at affortable rates, cheaper than the rest of phone services. You are not charged by roaming if you use voip abroad.
Video Phone
All calls from video phone to video phone are transmitted through the internet and are cheaper than traditional phone services.
Using video phone you can be able to call to land lines in many coutries for free. It depends on country you live in. In different country is different deal. Voip services offer opportunity to call many countries for free but you need to pay for extra package. It is not included in standard package like with video phone.
Calls from video phone to video phone are totally free, no matter where you are in the world.
Video phone has the same features as voip and a few extra like: photo frame where you can display your photos, download photos, video mail and messages where you can record a video greeting, automatic bandwidth adjustment, enhanced light sensor camera, dual speakers, sleek interface.
Local and international calls are at reduced rates. For example, in U.S. you will call to every land line in U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada for free.
You can take video phone abroad and you don`t pay roaming charges and people who phone you from your home country pay the same amount for that call as a local call.
When you call from video phone to video phone you can see over the phone the person you are talking to. Also, you can project conversation onto your TV and see your family or friends on TV screen during every phone call. In this case voip cann`t offer you something like that.
CONS
Voip
Using voip you need to have a computer or analog telephone adapter (ATA). Also, you need access to the high-speed internet. If you use ATA adapter I bet you would like to know that some voip providers lock ATA adapter to make sureyou won`t be able to use it with broadband from different provider.
Perhaps, you need to know that some providers require to install software onto your computer if you don`t want to use ATA. So, in this case you need to have a computer.
Video Phone
Here is only one disadvantage that you need to have access to the high-speed internet. But, you don`t need to have ATA adapter or a computer to start using video phone as you do with voip.
In conclusion what I can say is, you need to decide what is the best for you. If you are not sure you can always go to my free report and ask what you need to know and have access to me personally 24/7.
Oh, I almost forgot, in U.S. average monthly cost of voip service is $35 and video phone you will get for $30.
