High Speed Internet Phone Providers
Voip Phones
You can get a high speed internet phone from a voip provider if you already have high speed internet. Some examples of these services are Vonage, Phone Power, 8x8, qt talk and lingo.
When you sign up for service they send you everything you need. There is a piece of equipment that you will plug in to your internet modem that allows you to share it with both your computer and the phone. Your phone needs to be plugged into this too. Wireless phones are the easiest option.

How High Speed Internet Phones Work
Using a high speed internet phone service is basically just like your normal service. Instead of the phone call going over the landline it is transmitted over the internet. This is cheaper because you are getting more use out of the internet service which you would probably have anyway. Kind of like a two for one deal, they just work together.
