Proud VoIP user
| Re: Not just too many VoIP providers... Actually, there is a very good reason for using VoIP, even if you have a cell phone. You get to use ordinary phones, and you don't have to worry about "dead zones", which, in my case, is my entire apartment.
There is also the fact that, within reason, you don't have to worry about usage, or what time you call. I love my cell phone, but I don't want to pay a premium just so I don't have to worry about whether it is 8:59 or 9:00 to call my family.
There are some down sides, such as network problems causing voice outages, but the benefits (IMHO) far outweigh them.
Of course, I willingly admit the main reason I signed up was because I was sick of paying "long distance" all the time because my apartment straddled the line between the 301 and 410 area codes. The pizza joint three blocks away was a long distance call.  |
