voice over ip, phone serviceYour phone service is so important, whether it's a land line, a cell phone, or a voice over IP. The voice over IP is a phone line that comes in through your Internet service, and it requires a high speed connection. Most of the time, the voice over IP works great, although there are terms of service you should read before you sign up for voice over IP. For example, my voice over IP phone service has an outgoing minute limit of 3,000 per month. That came as a surprise, and for the last week I've been limiting myself to 20 minutes of outgoing calls per day to stay under the 3,000 minute restriction, so they don't charge me $.04 for all minutes over 3,000 of outgoing calls.

Other than this unpleasant surprise, voice over IP phone service is pretty good. It works almost 99.9% of the time, customer support is great, and the price is certainly right. There is unlimited long distance calling, unlimited incoming calls, and tons of other features I will never use. If you're looking for ways to cut back on your household budget, a voip line can certainly help.
