Advantages and Disadvantages to Using VOIP

VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and is the reason you are able to make voice calls over the internet. I feel like it has both its advantages and disadvantages. I also feel like it has more advantages than disadvantages. For example, technically, it allows for you to communicate with individuals for cheap, and it is unlimited. If you have access to a computer and internet, you are good to go. The sound is amazing, it sounds like the person is literally right next to you. Another cool thing about VoIP is you can download things such as Skype, which not only allow you to use the voice connection, but it also allows you to video chat. It's always a good thing to have, so you can keep in touch and still see your old friends or family away from home. A disadvantage is that it is only as reliable as your internet service. If you have a bad internet connection, then chances are your VoIP won't work well and you may loose connection while making calls etc.
