Nifty Features of Internet Calling

Bookmark and Share


Unlike most home phone plans, popular services like caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, *69 (call-back) are generally included at no extra charge with Internet calling.

In addition, since Internet calling is done in conjunction with your broadband connection, you are able to utilize and manage a whole new generation of features.  Here are a few of the more interesting ones:

  • Virtual Phone Number: Get a 2nd number, maybe where you have lots of family, so those people don't pay long distance to call you.  It still rings to your main Internet calling number.

  • Choose your Area Code: Live in New York City but want a Chicago area code? Not a problem with Internet calling, as physical location is not an issue.

  • Take Your Phone: You can take your phone service with you when you travel, as long as you have a broadband connection available to you.

  • Interactive Address Book: Click a name online to dial your phone (or you can still dial the old-fashioned way).  It's like having your own personal phone directory.

  • Enhanced Voicemail: Check via phone --- or online --- or via email.  You can also forward an audio message to multiple people (just like regular email)

  • Real Time Billing & Account Logs: No need to wait for a monthly paper bill; all your account activity is readily available through an online account manager.

  • The digital nature of VoIP enables a wide variety of features. At a minimum, these plans include voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and online account management. See the provider's site for a full list of features.

  • Important information about 911 calls: Emergency (911) calls can be made via the VoIP providers we compare on MyRatePlan. At the same time, most VoIP services are mobile, meaning you can actually take your service with you on business travel or when you go to a vacation home, for example. In those cases, the address at which you are using the VoIP service will be different than your primary home (billing) address. Therefore, it is important that you follow your provider's instructions about registering the physical location where you will utilize their service.
