How is VOIP phone or Skype compared to regular ATT phone?

I understand the cost is lower, but how more or less reliabilty and quality? Also, our internet is through the phone company so how does that affect the price? Thanks! (We use Skpe for international call but I don't know about domestic call.)


Answers:    why dont you take a look at MagicJack!
Skype is not easy to beat for for long distance calling. If you already use Skype from your PC you can't lick it for USA/Canada domestic calling if you purchase "Skype Unlimited". For $29.95 you get unlimited USA/Canada calling for 1 full year. If you go and get the Skype CIT-400 adapter and phone, you can do it without turning on your PC.
But, Skype is not a "home phone replacement service" - they do not hold 911 emergency calling and advise as such.

For home phone replacement service in attendance are "numerous" to choose from. I use InPhonex as my home phone replacement service because they provide 911 in Canada (where I live), even though InPhonex is a USA company.
I also use CallCentric plentifully, which I like (but no 911 within Canada).
Packet8 may be a good choice, too.
I own more information on my web site CQ VoIP Call (link is contained by my profile).

Call quality is an ongoing debateable issue. Many factor affect call standard.
If you have at smallest 1.5 Mbs HighSpeed Internet with your phone company, but you still hold to pay them for your regular phone, it would be redundant to enjoy full service VoIP at same time as regular phone (just keep using Skype for long distance instead).
However, if you want to verbs the plug on your phone company (like I did), then try highspeed Internet service next to your cable company (if you have one). Then, near cable and a VoIP full service company, it is possible to completely pull the plug on Ma Bell (or AT&T). Actually, AT&T have a VoIP service too, called "AT&T CallVantage" (could be worth a look).

So, within are many option - just depends on your strategy and what you really want to do.
Oh, yes near is also the issue of 911 access during power outages....
well you said its lower and your right
voip and skype use your internet nouns and doesnt affect your internet price
you just entail 200k up and down
note if you call upon some1, your connection is slower
if you formulate a lot of domestic call, use unlimited plans in vonage or earthlink, plus you dont inevitability your computer on to call
