Switching to a VoIP service can help you save money and improve your overall quality of life according to Redbook magazine Executive Editor Alison Brower.

Brower feels that the best way for consumers to improve their overall quality of life is to cut back on non-essential spending in certain areas so that they can “splurge” in other areas. Switching from traditional phone service to VoIP was one of Brower’s prime savings examples.

If you’re paying for both Internet and unlimited long-distance, you could save $20-40 a month by switching to Internet phone service. Companies such as Vonage… offer unlimited long distance via the Internet for around $25 a month, compared with $40-50 for landline phones.

We couldn’t agree more with Redbook’s recommendation. Millions of Americans are already saving hundreds of dollars per year on by subscribing to an Internet telephone service.
