Residential Home Phone Service - the big question

Selecting a residential home phone service is slightly more complicated than it used to be. In the past there were relatively few options and they all cost roughly the same. Nowadays there are more options and they come in two distinct styles.

1. Traditional landline phone companies.

2. Internet phone services.

Which is the Best Local Phone Service

When comparing the best Internet phone service with a regular PSTN service, it's almost impossible to tell one from the other by simply making a phone call. The differences are in other areas:

1. Cost is the biggest point of difference. The cheapest home phone service will inevitably be an Internet service.

2. Rates per minute versus an unlimited phone service at a low flat rate.

3. Features - it's easier for an Internet phone service to bundle additional features, these may include a second free virtual phone line, with it's own phone number.

4. Cheap international calls - because they can by-pass traditional PSTN carriers in routing calls around the globe.

Within a few years the standard local residential phone service will be an online phone service. The trend is accelerating not only because the Internet is ubiquitous, but also because tough times are making us all more cost conscious.
