VOIP costs are low because they avoid the regulatory costs and state & local taxes associated with the traditional telephone networks (PSTN or Public Switched Telephone Networks). The states haven't woke-up yet, but they are in for a big short-fall in revenue. Lucky for us, the FCC ruled a few weeks ago that nobody can tax or regulate VOIP!!
If you have stable broadband Internet access, then a VOIP based phone service may be a safe bet. Otherwise, you might not be happy.
Many people think that your dial-tone "comes from God", but God hasn't yet found the world of VOIP.... meaning that completely safe and reliable service is not there yet.....
The entire communications industry will be transformed as a result of VOIP..... it's as big as the original break-up of AT&T.
In 3 years, VOIP will be common place. Good old "Plain-Old Telephone Service" will fall by the wayside, it's a loosing bet for the local exchange carriers. Just like rotary-dial phones died in the 1970's....
