About VOIP Broadband Phones And Where To Get A VOIP Broadband Phone Service

VOIP broadband phones together with a broaband internet connection enable you to make low cost or sometimes free telephone calls over your broadband connection. Call quality is usually better than using your mobile phone but sometimes not as good as your standard phone line.

As an example of a VOIP broadband phone service we are going to tell you about BT's Broadband Talk service which is a VOIP broadband phone service which lets you chat through your broadband using a normal touch-tone phone, so you don't need to buy a special broadband phone to use the service. This VOIP broadband phone service gives you low UK national call and international call rates and you get a new separate phone number which is in addition to your existing BT phone line so you then have the advantage of having two phone lines. BT have two monthly calling plans which are "Evening And Weekend Plan" which costs £2 per month if you have BT broadband or £2.99 if you use another broadand provider and "Anytime Plan" which costs £7 per month if you have BT broadband or £7.99 if you use another broadband provider.

With the "Evening and Weekend" VOIP broadband phone service you can make calls at the weekend and in the evening for free (up to 1 hour long - after that it is 3p a min) and pay 3p a minute for daytime calls.

With the "Anytime" VOIP broadband phone service you can make calls anytime day or night for free (up to 1 hour long - after that it is 3p a minute)

Both broadband phone services offer you low international call rates which can be found on the BT Broadband Talk website which we have linked to below.

An important point to note about the BT Broadband Talk VOIP phone service is that the quality of the service is not guaranteed and also that the broadband phone service will not work if there is a power failure which is why they strongly recommend you keep a phone plug into your existing phone line so you always can use a phone, especially in the event of an emergency. They also recommend connecting your BT Broadband Talk equipment which consists of your router and telephone adapter to your phone line as this will mean your broadband phone will ring when someone calls you.
