• Skype is a very popular propriety VoIP system, with free calls to other Skype users (calls to conventional landlines are also possible at much lower rates). Ideal for beginners and those familiar with standard MSN.

• Gizmo is an open source VoIP system which is similar in functionality to Skype but has a few more features, SIP compatibility and can call landlines at similar rates.

• Vonage offer a more dedicated system for unlimited local and national calls to landlines and other VoIP users. A free adapter converts your landline phone to plug directly into your router to provide a familiar service.

• Accessible for all types of users Home users, small office and large companies can all benefit from a properly implemented VoIP system.
• The initial overhead costs are fairly linear with no high initial startup cost, as existing computers and routers can be used.
• Free VoIP>VoIP calls - Intraoffice communication costs are reduced to zero and calls to other VoIP users are completely free.
• Increased Security - It isn't as easy for someone to listen into a call when you are speaking to someone digitally.
• Little Training Required - Dedicated IP phones are similar in function to standard phones
• A properly implemented system can have higher quality than a normal phone.

• Variable Quality - If the network is congested or other users are consuming too much bandwidth from the same internet connection, the quality of the call can degrade. Voices can sound strange and lag times can increase in worst cases.
• Network configuration - Home users will not experience this problem, but large networks will have to assign VoIP QoS priorities to make sure VoIP is always available under heavy networking loads.
