Talking on the phone has long been one of the most effective ways people around the world communicate. The ability to make calls to a desired contact whenever it's needed is both a convenience and a necessity. Whether keeping in touch with friends and family or discussing business matters, making phone calls is a benefit we've all come to enjoy.

For those needing to communicate with contacts in other countries, calling hasn't always been affordable. When considering the high per minute charges for making a long distance call, the thought of talking for more than a few minutes, becomes a frightening one.

Recognizing that no one should have to be limited in there communications, internet telephony services or VoIP Phone calls have extended communications capabilities to make it affordable to keep in touch, regardless of physical distance.

VoIP Phone Calls offer significantly lower calling rates because calls are completed over an internet connection and instead of needing a dedicated landline and carrier to place the call, it is instead routed over the internet in data packets.

When VoIP Phone calls are made between two users both utilizing a VoIP phone service, calls are free regardless of the users location, but even when it comes time to call internationally, VoIP phone calls coupled with unlimited residential and international plans provide the ability to make low cost calls to fixed lines, based on one low monthly fee, and from anywhere users connect to the internet.

VoIP Phone service provider TalkLah offers worldwide residential and unlimited calling plans for calls to fixed phones (and in some areas, mobile phones) in up to 36 countries, so users can talk with out having to worry about the minutes. Calls to other TalkLah users are always free and to further expand communication capabilities, TalkLah also offers an incoming number so users can be reached regardless of their location.

For the Latin American community, which constitutes a large and ever-growing part of the US population, keeping in contact with friends and relatives outside of the US hasn’t been easy or cheap in the past. But for a flat monthly rate, TalkLah’s plans make calling to places like Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil possible-- so users can talk for as long as they'd like, and never feel rushed or worried about how much they're paying.

VoIP Phone Calls make international calls affordable. And as we branch out as a people and disperse throughout the world, communications that are not limited to physical distance will become even more necessary---and VoIP Phone calls will have already made this possible.
