Provider price comparison will likely be a one of the main areas you will focus on before selecting a VoIP solution. It will also likely be one of the most frustrating parts as the VoIP providers typically do not do a good job at highlighting the price of their service across all pricing tiers for business services and also providing long term pricing after introductary special rates for home phone services - often this is deliberate! At WhichVoIP we have tried to make this job easier for you with our provider pricing comparison tool. We believe this is one of the most powerful tools on the market today for VoIP price shopping and we hope you find it useful.

Most business providers charge based on the number of users of the phone system. The best way to consider this is the number of employees who will each need a phone to receive and make calls.

Simply enter how many employees will be using the phone service below and we will search our extensive pricing database to show you the lowest estimated pricing for some of the major VoIP providers in the USA.
The following table displays the results in order from lowest cost to highest cost, based on the basic cost per user per month. Important notes:

A triple play service is a service offered by the larger cable or phone companies and includes phone service, Internet service and TV service all in one bundle. The companies that offer this service make it extremely easy for new and existing customers to sign-up, and they also have great brand recognition thanks to the millions of dollars that are spent on advertising. The introductory rates for a triple play service can be very attractive, as bundling services helps the providers offer larger discounts. The problem is that when it comes to the home phone cost, triple play is typically still much higher than a stand-alone VoIP service. Additionally, the costs will likely go up after the promotional period has expired, and you could easily end up paying home phone rates above $20 per month. For this extra cost you will also most likely end up with a lot fewer features than a regular VoIP service that would cost you about half the price.
Have you ever read through a terms and conditions document? We are betting the answer is no. When you have narrowed down your search for VoIP and are about to sign-up, it is prudent to take a couple of minutes and skim the terms and conditions of service, just to be sure there are no future surprises lurking. In particular check the cancelation section and the equipment section and if you still have any questions, please talk to the provider directly. This should ensure that you have a full picture of the overall home phone costs and what the cancellation fees will be, if any.
Now that you have had a chance to compare pricing for some of the main residential home phone service choices you may want to continue researching and comparing. Luckily we have you covered with other comparison tools and useful guides, as follows:
