There are a few downsides that simply scare some people too much.
If you lose power you’re out of luck.
The benefits of VoIP far outweigh that one major drawback.
One of the highest rated VoIP company that has received rave reviews by customers isPhone Power.
Phone Power will send you free hardware and lets you have a free 2nd line.
Calls are unlimited and the plan is cheaper than the competition, including Vonage.
Skype started this trend, and I recently compared Skype and Gizmo as two solutions.
But since increasing their rates, Skype consumers are now looking for other free-call solutions.
You receive calls by giving your friends and family one of the iCall access numbers.
When people call that number, they can enter in your extension.
Like many software-based VoIP solutions, “free calling” isn’t completely free.
Using iCall you might makefree5 minute phonecalls all day, every day.
For a guy like me who usually has 2 minute phone calls, I’m cool with that.
Unfortunately the software is only offered for Windows.
Want an even better solution?
Like every online VoIP service, there are limitations to the free calls with VoipCheap as well.
Would you rather use a regular phone to make calls instead of your gear headset?
VoipCheap dials your cellphone first.
But then again, maybethat’sthe solution.
