Are you paying too much for your current home phone service? Do you want to lower your monthly bill and still get the features and services you need?

If so, the solution is simple. Look no further than VoIP home phone service. VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, allows you to make and receive phone calls through the Internet while using a standard telephone. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and an adapter box (also know as an ATA), and you are on your way to getting reliable home phone service that doesn’t break the bank.

The rapid growth of the Internet makes this home phone service available at a low monthly flat rate for residential customers. This rate includes advanced features such as local and nationwide calling, call waiting, caller ID, and more. Usually you have to pay extra for these features with traditional home phone services, but with VoIP they are part of the package.
