Choosing The Right Type Of Service Provider

Thursday April 17, 2008
Last week, I made a list of the different types of VoIP services users can consider, depending on their communication needs. I go deeper in the subject this week, putting links in the list with details to each type of service provider, with top ranks, tips and examples.

Residential users who don't want to move from that phone set centered paradigm can choose subscription/hardware based services, while those who can do with a PC have a very large range of software-based services. Businesses have plans designed for them in these same subscription/hardware-based services if they don't feel ripe enough to embark on a VoIP solution for SMBs. Mobile users can choose among a few pioneering mobile VoIP providers in an expanding area. The new trend for residential users is device-based services, where once you buy a device, you use it without receiving monthly bills. See the list.
