    How much money will I save?

    With plans starting at less than $10 for 500 minutes and less than $20 for unlimited minutes, most VoIP subscribers save hundreds of dollars a year, at least, and many save thousands. In a January 2006 survey conducted by Consumer Reports, almost 80% of those who saved money by switching to VoIP saved at least $20 a month ($240 per year) and 34% saved at least $40 per month ($480 per year).
