Voice Over IP Phones (VOIP phones) can be a great money saver for many cost conscious consumers. internet phone services allow calls to be placed just like regular phone calls, except they use an internet connection. VOIP phones allow users to place calls around for world for only pennies a minute, and are often cheaper to use than many long distance discount cards. It's important to remember that many VOIP providers do not allow emergency calls to be placed. Many services are unable to tell where a user is, and do not allow people to place 911 calls. It's important to keep a backup cell phone on hand for any emergency calls. Any cell phone without a plan can be used to place 911 calls.
