Which do you think is better Voip or Skype? email this discussion to a friend?

Voip is fairly new and basically uses your internet connection to establish your voice over the internet, i.e. Voice of Internet Protocol(VOIP). What is the difference between Voip and Skyp? Which is more economical?

It is different. First if you use VOIP, you don't need to open the computer to call somebody or receive a phone call. But it is a little more expensive than SKYP. If you use skyp to talk with somebody, you can't do anything with your internet, because it will effect the quality of sound. But with VOIP, it won't have this problem, except you are downloading a lot of files. The voice of VOIP is clearer than the voice of skype. the quality almost is as the same as traditional phone line. But it's really cheap compared with the traditional phone line. I love VOIP even though it has a little bit problem this or that. But more conviences and more functions. Wherever I go, I can take my phone line with me.
If you have more questions about the voip, I'd like to explain to you more.

Let me just clarify things up okay.

VoIP= Voice over Internet Protocol and not Voice of Internet Protocol

Skype uses VoIP just like Vonage, Yahoo Voice, Via Talk, Magic Jack, Onesuite, etc.

So therefore, Skype and VoIP are two different things.

It's like Toyota and Car...you can't really ask which is better, Toyota or Car.

Now when you say economical, VoIP is a lot cheaper compare with traditional long distance service. Picking your VoIP provider can be really pain in the......so you better check the internet for reviews and feedbacks.

As for Skype, they're not the best in quality nor got the best rates and as far as I know they don't even have customer support. I'm a Skype user before but now happy with my Onesuite.com

Hi, Cyrics. I am using the Voip with no brand, that means I bought the income phone call and outcome phone call seperately. I have two suppliers. But I made them together and make it become a normal phone. It's high quality. It just like the normal phone. I saved a lot of money from this. It costs me $5 per month plus less than 1 penny to call to China. I have all the features which will cost a lot in traditional phone service. DIY your voip phone service you will save a lot of money from that.
