Choosing a VOIP Broadband Phone Provider
| I want to call mostly friends and family
BUT I don't want to worry about computer programs and passwords. If you just want to pick up the phone and dial the way you normally do, OR if you and who call you most often aren't computer savvy—like grandparents for instance—then a VOIP long distance plan is for you. 2 Lines, 2 Years, $200 – Residential Plans Starting at just $9.95! If you're making mostly social calls (200 minutes/month or less), then a limited VOIP long distance plan is perfect. You can phone local and long for a fixed rate per month. You'll find that 200 minutes goes a long way. (The average number of phone minutes per month per household is around 100.) 500-minute plans for $9.95/month

don't mind using my computer to make calls BUT they do.
If you're into saving money on long distance calls to friends and family and don't mind using your computer to do it, an unlimited softphone package is a great idea. The people you're calling don't have to be on their computer. They just answer the phone like normal. But you make and receive calls from a program that stores your contacts for you and has a point-and-click keypad for dialing.

| I want to make it easy and
cheap for people
to call me long distance.
What if you have family or business clients in another state or another country? Staying in touch with them is important, right? You can make it easy for them, and cheap too, by getting a VOIP plan that gives you virtual numbers in any city you want. When they call you, they dial a local number and pay for just the cost of a local call (which could even be free depending on where they are). When people call these virtual secondary numbers, the calls ring through on your primary line. If you like using your computer to make and/or receive calls calls: If you like using a regular phone: Digital phone with virtual, out-of-area numbers
