When to Use VoIP

We are often hearing that VoIP will save us money. But we may be asking when do we use VoIP.

Firstly, we will save tonnes when making an international call. For example, say you want to call someone in the UK. AT&T charges $1.29 per minute for a US to UK phone call. After chatting for a few minutes, this could get quite expensive. The solution? Both of us gets on Skype (or Fring, etc.) from the convenience of our own desktop or iPhone and we can converse all day long, free of charge.

If asking someone go sign into their VoIP service seems unreasonable, the alternative is to purchase a call package from one of the above companies. It’s still likely to work out far cheaper than the standard network per-minute charge.

Another useful situation in which using VoIP would work well would be if you are somewhere that offers a connection to Wi-Fi and you want to save those expensive minutes for more necessary calls. If you have Wi-Fi at home, using VoIP on your iPhone could potentially save you hundreds of minutes.
