multiple services can use his home broadband line make and receive calls. Some of them are designed to replace your landline phone positively, while others are designed as a supplement.
_ Vonage is replacing the widest audience that is the phone line at home, and the price much more attractive than before. It's just squeezed plans free calls to over 60 countries in its standard-$ 25 per month, which already included national calls free.
Vonage sends you an adapter to connect the broadband line and your old phone. The installation requires that you know where your broadband modem and how to connect a little in touch. Vonage offers a new phone number, or you can move your old number for the service.
But if you do not call overseas wholesale, there are cheaper alternatives, and in my tests, long-standing problems remain the audio quality and reliability, especially for international calls.
_ Ooma is selling a device that is similar to the Vonage adapter, but once planted down $ 250 for them to have internal calls free of charge. International calls are billed per minute assessed. Ooma audio quality and reliability are much better than Vonage, but slightly lower than a regular phone line. Ooma is like Vonage, you can use your old phone number (for a flat rate of $ 40 transfer). The adapter works like an answering machine, and you can your mailbox via a Web browser access as well.
There is a new model soon to Ooma device, which can be used as base station for cordless phones. The price was not disclosed. The company has proposed that the buyers of the new model must be able to pay the annual fees to cover the lower cost of communications.
_ Magic Jack is an up-and-corner, a device to provide plug into a computer to sell unlimited nationwide calling for one year, $ 40. Thereafter, each year of service costs $ 20. International calls are billed per minute assessed. In our tests it worked, but not very good - the quality was barely acceptable.
The device has a magic Jack phone number and can make calls, but you cannot move your own number. The computer must be turned on magic Jack to receive calls, as a primary phone line to use it could be a false economy: Check your computer all the time for a year costs you $ 300 in electricity.
_ Skype is best known for the free computer-to-computer voice and video chat, but you can make and receive calls with this software too. Outgoing calls are made every minute or monthly unlimited rates charged. A telephone number, incoming calls are $ 60 per year. You cannot use your old number as a Skype number, and you cannot call 911th you cannot have your old phone is not, but you can also buy special Skype phone when you do not want to use headphones and microphone. Overall, Skype is not really a replacement for regular phone service, but could be complementary.
_ T-Mobile USA sells for $ 40 "At Home" Internet routers or at adapters that you can establish a telephone at home. Unlimited domestic calls are $ 10 per month. You can move your old number to the service. The catch? You need T-Mobile wireless subscribers, at least $ 40 per month on a single plan or pay $ 50 per month, a family project. Moreover, international prices are high for this type of service. First, you need the range of $ 5 per month only international phone calls, and then you pay similar rates of 4 cents per minute to Canada, the other provider, you can make free voice calls.

Prepaid cell phones are marketed mainly to people with poor credit market could save money, many households would be long-term contracts instead of signing up prepaid. The main limitation of prepaid is that it is difficult to obtain, feature-rich smart phones.
_ Tracfone is the largest provider of prepaid telephone services in the United States, he sells phones Bare Bones cheap, and calls cost between 15 cents and 30 cents per minute. If you use your phone for just a few short calls per day, this is a bargain - Tracfone subscribers pay an average $ 10 per month. The prepaid service can also be a good thing for your children because they cannot run to give huge bills. Warning: If you give your landline number, or e-mail during registration Tracfone, you interfere with frequent "special offers".
_ T-Mobile is another major prepaid carriers, and for good reason: his "pay as you" can go service does not exceed 10 cents per minute with no daily use fee costs at other major airlines to enforce their prepaid plans. Moreover, it is usually possible to use the prepaid service from T-Mobile phones, whose contracts have expired.
_ for heavy callers are unlimited prepaid packages costing less than $ 50 per month from MetroPCS Communications Inc., Leap Wireless International Inc. (Trade cricket) and Sprint Nextel Corp. is available (under the brand Boost). We have tried a MetroPCS phone in New York and have had no problems. It worked just like a more expensive from a carrier, including access to the Internet. The cost of the device - a touch screen features Samsung finesse - is 349 $. A telephone-equivalent cost $ 50 and $ 100 if you sign a contract with a major carrier. But you win in less than a year by slashing $ 30 per month on prepaid service. You can also get a MetroPCS phone for less than $ 69 Warning: MetroPCS and Cricket have restricted calling areas, compared to the major airlines. If you go outside the big cities, you will pay roaming charges.

_ Google Voice allows you to freely internationally at a price per minute, which is much lower than the prices of the airlines call it, and the message text. It is designed for use with a Web browser developed, but you can use from your phone. If you have a BlackBerry or a cell phone Android, you can an application. If you do not "have smart" phone, you can call a number of Google and enter the number you want to call you as if you were to use a calling card.
