We all enjoy a good chat, we spend an average of 4 hours on the phone a week I am sure some spend allot more . Think of the cost factor though, to call a typical mobile in the uk from a land line is close to 31p a minute the cost from VoIP based provider Skype is just £0.012, you average that over the 4 hours spent a week and that’s a fair saving.

Some people have family abroad, is it right that we cant talk to relatives because we cant afford the cost of an international call, VoIP will change the way we communicate.

As all things though good will always find some bad, it opens the door for, tele marketing and scams.

The forefront for VoIP however is the mobile phone technology that can be tied with VoIP to make mobile calling costs a thing of the past.

With the doors opened and work already underway, VoIP mobiles looks to be another change in the way we talk.

The benefits of VoIP are really quite simple:

• Cheaper
• Same clarity as a regular telephone
• Alot of providers to choose from
• you can use the same number anywhere in the world
• Some mobile phones are now available with the same technology
