The Top 5 Residential VoIP Providers of 2014, Ranked by Voxilla.com
(PRWEB) May 14, 2014 -- In the past, individuals who wanted to make long distance calls had no choice but to select that option for their landline phones and pay an extra cost. However, in this age of much more evolved technology, those days are long over. Even if a person wishes to make international calls and they cannot do so on their landline or smartphone through their plan with their provider, there is the option of VoIP. VoIP is available on a broad scale for both business use and for the home in the form of residential VoIP.
Generally speaking, as long as an individual has a smartphone, tablet or computer, it is possible to use a residential VoIP package or app that will allow for calls to be made through their Internet connection that will override their cell phone minutes or the use of their landline.
