VoIP features increase but price remains steady

More and more calling features are being added to VoIP phone services but monthly price plans are not increasing, according to VoipReview.org.

The comparison site said that while the average number of features per VoIP calling plan increased from 23 in April 2006 to nearly 27 in November 2006, the average price of an unlimited long distance VoIP home plan remained consistent at approximately $25 per month.

"The VoIP industry has steadily improved product offerings over the past year, which means VoIP buyers continue to get more for their money," said Eric Laughlin, chief executive officer of VoipReview.org.

"As VoIP providers compete for their share of the marketplace, you'll see more and more calling features offered standard, with prices staying generally the same. In addition to the cost savings over traditional analogue phone lines, free calling features are another key reason why more people are switching to VoIP."
