VoIP Services and PC to Phone Service
Including the world’s first Top 100 ranking of VoIP services

Over the past five years it has become increasingly difficult to keep an overview of all the worldwide operating VoIP services or Broadband phone providers. New VoIP / Broadband phone VoIP services are launching almost on a weekly basis and it has become almost impossible to compare PC to Phone and Broadband Phone service providers without weeks and weeks of time consuming research. Each VoIP provider proclaims to have the best service and the cheapest local, long distance or international VoIP phone rates, but the differences are still substantial (up to 1000%), although in most cases the VoIP services are cheaper than most traditional telephone companies (PSTN). Choosing the right Voice over IP service for your specific need and calling pattern, especially if you make regular international calls can save you a small fortune every month.

To find and compare VoIP services on the Internet is already a mission on its own. A few of the larger, more established VoIP services (such as the Broadband phone company Vonage or Skype with their free VoIP service) are easy to find on hundreds of Internet sites. With their extensive marketing budgets and daily bombardment of press releases, they have established a market dominance in a short period of time. There are however hundreds of smaller and newer Voice over IP services with the same customer service and quality levels, even cheaper VoIP rates and monthly packages with unlimited VoIP calls.

Over the past two years a new group of VoIP service providers have been making their mark in the VoIP market. These providers are offering free VoIP calls to a wide range of destinations and are capturing a significant market share. Being the first VoIP service to offer these free calls, VoIP Buster is the best known, but every few months sister companies are launched to keep the momentum up, but all offer basically the same services. Some of the sister companies are VoipStunt, VoIPCheap, Netappel, SIP Discount, SparVoIP, Internetcalls, VoipDiscount and a few others - the larger more established Broadband phone services should take note.

We, at MyVoipProvider.com, have identified over 1400 international VoIP services (January 2008) for the residential and SOHO (small business) market and in due course each and every Broadband or Internet phone service will be included in our extensive VoIP rates database.

We provide information on interconnection services, VoIP hardware solutions and VoIP software , as well as overall situation in the VoIP industry.

VoIP providers face price war

Internet telephony companies already offer major cost savings over traditional telephone services, but now they’re challenging one another for the title of cheapest of the cheap in an increasingly brutal battle for customers.
After nearly seven years on the fringes, so-called VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) technology is ready to move into the mainstream. But as the market has matured, it’s drawn a crowd of competitors, tempting some into a dangerous game of chicken.
“A lot of people want to grab users, even if you don’t make money,” said Mario Bustamante, chief executive of broadband provider DSLi, which last month launched a stripped down $10-a-month VoIP plan. “It’s a little like early DSL mentality, where people are going out and losing their shirt just to get eyeballs.”

Some VoIP services are free, but they generally work only for calls between computers that have the same software installed. The current price war is erupting among VoIP providers with services that let callers seamlessly connect from an ordinary telephone handset to any phone number around the world.

Two years ago, such plans offering unlimited local and long-distance dialing within the United States to residential customers typically cost a flat rate of $45 a month or more. Now some providers are selling these services for less than half that price, although the industry average remains significantly higher.

Few plans include flat rates for international calls, which can typically be purchased by the minute at a discount to traditional phone carrier rates.
