PhoneDog.com introduces new consumer resource for voice over IP services (VoIP)

PhoneDog LLC. (www.phonedog.com), the leading comparison website for telecom plans and services, today introduced an updated VoIP section that includes an in-depth review of the most popular players in the VoIP industry, detailed pricing, and consumer opinions. The new and improved comparison covers not only the providers and their plans, but also gives potential buyers detailed information about what VoIP is, and how it actually works.

“We are now comparing the most popular providers of VoIP services and giving potential consumers the tools to learn how VoIP works, and if it’s right for them.” said co-founder Tom Klein. “We also advise any customer who is considering VoIP, to visit www.testmyvoip.com from their computer numerous times to determine if the speed of their internet connection will be able to provide them with a quality phone call.”

Another key segment includes a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages to VoIP.

Advantages include:
-Substantial savings compared to traditional phone service
-Regular local phone service is not needed for VoIP
-The ability to move anywhere in the world and keep the same U.S. phone number
-Detailed online tracking to monitor your account activity
-Unique phone features that are not offered by traditional phone providers
-Video conferencing is offered by several providers with select plans

Disadvantages include:
-Depending on your internet connection, voice calling may not be as clear as traditional phone service
-The loss of phone service if you experience power outages or internet service interruptions
-A high-speed internet connection is needed (DSL, Cable Modem, T1, etc)


“VoIP is not the right phone product for everyone, but there are consumers who could benefit. Business travelers and technically savvy consumers have the largest potential to capitalize from the attributes of VoIP,” continued PhoneDog’s Tom Klein.

While VoIP is now being used by a few million Americans, it is still debatable when, or if, it will be able to completely replace traditional home telephone services. PhoneDog.com not only offers you the convenience of VoIP comparison shopping, you will also find extremely insightful user reviews. The flexibility and potential savings with VoIP, just might be intriguing enough for some to hang up their home phone for good.
