Voice Over IP Is Spreading

There is currently, as of this writing, over 10 million voice over IP users in the US. Cable companies find themselves rivaling for the market share with dedicated voice over IP companies like Voip.com or Sunrocket. These companies target mainly local calling market, offering 50% or more savings compared to using regular PSTN phone services.

The so called free VoIP companies are doing well as well targeting the international market. I said so called because you still pay with these long distance fees while calling to regular phone numbers and there's extra fees for regular incoming number and other extras like voice mail that comes free with the paid voice over IP telephone services. Also with the 'free services' you need to supply your own VoIP phone hardware like regular phone to internet adapters. Meantime Sunrocket for example offers free VoIP phones with one year money back guarantee and the lowest fees in the industry, starting at $9.99 a month.
