VoIP phone services don’t just save money, an article by TMCnet Contributing Editor David Sims points out.

“According to officials of Whichvoip.com, a site that helps compare different VoIP providers to get you the best deal for your needs, the blinding advantage of VoIP is still that it’s far cheaper, in most instances, than POTS – Plain Old Telephone Service. And there’s nothing hocus-pocus, high techy about using it; you use it just like you use your present phone service,” Sims wrote.

Sims continued that other main benefits of VoIP include ease of installation and use, reliability, service and support.
