The current trend appears to be that the traditional phone companies offer this service at the most expensive rates and small Internet Companies that concentrate only on delivering voice over IP telephone services, offer the best rates; sometimes amazingly good rates.
Finding VoIP on the Internet
The best way to find a good VoIP Company is through the Internet. VoIP is Internet technology, where better to find people to provide the service? You will have to use a variety of search terms on the search engines in order to get a full view of your options; type in things like: 'VoIP', 'voice over IP', '
