Switching To Broadband or IP Phone
  

If you want to switch from your existing traditional telephone to a broadband phone, a number of well-known broadband service providers are there to choose from. Which one to go for depends on what are your calling needs.

For example, if you are using your existing phone mostly to make local or national calls with an occasional international call, then you would do well to go for the plan which offers unlimited domestic dialing for a low monthly charge.
