VOIP Can Allow You the Freedom to Have a Home Telephone Again

So a lot of people have discovered that they can not afford to manage both a home phone and a cell phone at the same time.  Since a cell phone can be used away from home in addition to your home it is the obvious selection as the telephone to keep and many people these days do not have a home telephone any longer. 

You will find downsides to not having a home telephone one of the biggest of which is a serious safety issue.  A cell phone, although traceable, won't automatically register an address when you call 911 and if you for whatever reason manage to dial 911 and are unable to tell them where you are then it is likely that they'll assume this was a crank call and they are not going to research where the call came from and will not send help for you.   

And if you are living without a home telephone with children this can be of great concern as well because many times even if a child knows their address if their is an emergency they may forget it and a cell phone will not really be of much service to the 911 operator.  And a cell phone can also get misplaced around the house or can be left off and lost at a time when an important call might need to be made. 
It's of course tempting in this day and age of portable cell phones to cancel out that expensive home telephone service but it might be unnecessary since VoIP phone services have come about.  No matter where you live if you have a high speed internet connection then you can have voice over IP service.  This type of service can offer you all the conveniences of having a traditional home telephone service but without the expensive monthly bill.  For one low price you can have unlimited calling domestic only or domestic and international plus all the extras such as caller id, voice mail, and call waiting.  There are even call forwarding options and three way calling included in these plans as well as 911 tracing so that if an individual calls 911 from your VOIP phone the operator will know exactly where help is needed. 

Now it's possible to have it all.  Voice over IP telephone services now allow families to have the convenience and security of having a home telephone line for one very low monthly fee.  And this is a peace of mind that's bound to bring a smile to those cell phone only peoples' faces.
