CNET PRIZEFIGHT: Internet phones vs. plain old telephone service

PrizefightPrizefight
Regular phones vs. VoIP
Round 5: Flexibility
Have adapter, will travel

Winner: Internet phone Aside from the wealth of features it provides, VoIP is portable. If you take your VoIP telephone adapter with you, it's like you never left home--at least to outside callers. Take off to your (Internet-ready) summer home, a broadband-equipped hotel room, or your winter cabin for a month, plug your VoIP adapter into the network connection there, and you'll receive any and all calls that go to your VoIP phone number.

And if you are home a lot during the day, you'll never find yourself waiting until evening when the rates drop to make a call with VoIP. With an unlimited minutes plan, you'll never again feel guilty after those three-hour calls to your sister made in the middle of the day.

Winner: VoIP
