The types of VoIP services that are most suitable are subscription- and hardware-based services for domestic phone users who opt for a cheap phone service that is same as their existing landline services, which are used with old traditional telephones.

These VoIP services are meant for domestic use and for small business owners. Upon buying a subscription, the user receives an ATA adapter and a telephone number. Use of this service requires a broadband Internet connection, which adds up to its cost but then also overall cost when compared is relatively lower than the traditional phone system.
