In the past few years, VoIP phone service has really taken off. Those who have switched over, have saved a decent amount of money every year. Vonage now has about 2.4 million customers and is still climbing. As time goes on, voice over internet protocol phone service will continue to grow as regular phone serivce will very possibly begin to shrink.

Those who now use VoIP feel comfortable with it and enjoy all the extra features and lower cost. However, there are still many people who are skeptical. They would like to make the change and enjoy the benefits, but have fear something new. I have seen this among my friends and even my family and decided to ask them why they didn’t feel comfortable switching over to VoIP.

There were a few general responses ranging from the 911 issue, to some people just saying “No” and nothing more. After explaining a little more to them about how the 911 issue has been resolved and other facts about VoIP, quite of few of them made the switch and are now glad they did so.

The bottom line is that most people pay over 50 dollars a month for their phone service and some people even more than 70 or 80 dollars. WIth Vonage offering unlimited local and long distance for $24.99, it seems unwise not to take the leap and save so much money! Some fear change, but the other day I saw a billboard that summed it all up. It said, “Remember when the CD replaced the cassette? Change is good.”
