VoIP over Internet has become popular with home and hobby users largely because of the cost advantages to consumers over traditional telephone networks. Most people pay a flat monthly fee for local telephone calls and a per-minute charge for long-distance calls over landlines.
VoIP calls can be placed across the Internet. Most Internet connections are charged using a flat monthly fee structure.
Using the Internet connection for both data traffic and voice calls can allow consumers to get rid of one monthly payment. In addition, some VoIP plans do not charge a per-minute fee for long distance.
For International calling, the monetary savings to the consumer from switching to VoIP technology can be enormous.
