Digital Phone Service: Affordable And Reliable Communication

By:


It was during my days working for an up and coming telecommunications company 10 years ago that I first heard of digital phone service and VOIP. Being a person who grew up with a standard issue rotary home phone I was fascinated by the capability to place a call through the Internet without being required to carry phone service. At the time I felt convinced that telephone providers would become a novelty of the past, and that someday all telephone service would be conducted online.

After leaving the telecomm industry though, my intrigue of digital phone service did not breached the novelty of my new cell phone, which never left my side, and which I cherished above all other possessions. To me a home phone was the relic of an age gone by, and telephone providers now meant one thing only, cellular phone service. Although I did not realize it until years later, the cell phone I was carrying back then was analog. Had I understood that at the time I may have had a different outlook on the future of how phone providers would advance with digital technology.

It was not until many years later while traveling overseas that I again came to appreciate the significance of digital phone service, and how convenient and affordable it had become. It cost pennies per minute to reach family and friends on their home phones back in the States, and although the connections I had were sometimes poor due to Internet connectivity, I would never think of phone service the same again.

With the advances in digital phone service, VOIP, and the ability to couple the technology with a home phone, telephone service providers did not fall from existence like I once anticipated they would. In fact, the digital phone revolution has only enhanced the features and affordability of home phone service. New players who enter this competitive market have helped keep service costs low, and State and Federal tax regulations have not yet over inflated the cost to consumers. In addition, digital telephone service providers offer service plans that have all the same features as cellular providers, along with unlimited local and long distance calls and the superior quality one can expect with any digital service.

In the end, I was wrong to believe that the iconic home phone would disappear entirely. Not only has it endured through the last decade, it has been able to adapt to the digital technology that I thought would cause its demise.
