Long distance calls are getting cheaper and cheaper. One reason for the decrease in price has to do with VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol allows consumers to use a long distance Internet phone service to make a phone call. The consumer's voice is changed into packets of information and sent over the Internet to a receiver, where they are changed back into the sound of a voice. Because the information is going over an Internet connection, typical long distance prices don't apply. Here are some of the best companies offering Internet long distance service: Vonage was one of the first companies to offer Internet phone calling. For $24.99 a month you can call anywhere in the US or Canada . No extra charges involved! For businesses making lots of national calls, this is a great deal. This Vonage plan (Calling-plans.com) allows you to keep your current number plus you get all the standard telephone perks like caller Id, call waiting, call forwarding, 3-way calling, and voicemail plus. SatelCall has an innovated new way to make international phone calls. You log onto Satel's website (Satelcall.com) where you enter the number you are calling from and the number you are calling. Then you click "Dial Now" and your phone will ring. When you pick up your phone you will hear the phone ringing for the person you are calling. SatelCall uses existing phone systems and the Internet to place your call for you for less. Lingo (Lingo.com) also provides long distance Internet telephone calls.
