For many residents in the US, making cheap international phone calls was dependent on phone cards that sometimes give lesser minutes than promised, as well as dialing long strings of digit. Broadband phone companies now have those frequent international callers rethinking savings and convenience. Qamtec.net examine the new revolution of VoIP telephony.

With technology providing cheaper options and affordability to the everyday people, Qamtec.net sees opportunities for more people in the US to save on their phone bills through internet phones, otherwise known as Broadband phone or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Qamtec explains the advantages.

For the past few years, there has been a trend to drive down the cost of long distance and international phone calls and the associated charges. Recently, companies like Broadvox Direct has come out with a plan that makes economic sense in replacing the traditional local phone companies and long distance phone companies with just one service that is both cheaper and gives better value for money. According to Qamtec Communications’ CEO, Frederico Medeiros, «With rates as low as $12.95 a month, subscribers get a free phone adapter from Broadvox and can call anywhere within the US and Canada for 500 minutes. Additional minutes are 2.9 cents a minute. Also, all calling features like call-waiting, caller-id, voice-mail and call-forwarding amongst others are all included for free. Now, that is great value for money for US residents».

Broadband phones add even more advantages to those who subscribe to it. For instance, business people living in other countries like Japan or the UK can have a local phone number here in the US and actually receive and make local calls like they are present within the United States. Indeed, calls from one subscriber to another is free, even if one live in Tokyo and the other in London.

Today’s standard procedure is to have a local phone service with one company and have long distance with another company, thereby paying taxes and fees twice or even get both with one company for $54.99 or $49.99, depending on the phone company. Broadband phone companies on the other hand offer all the options at a remarkably lower cost. Sanjay Sathyaveera VP Marketing for Qamtec International remarked, «Broadband phones offers opportunities for even commercial and home businesses to have a fully functional second phone line at home without paying the high cost to their local phone companies.»
