About This Book

You have more telephone options today then ever before. This book helps you figure out which of the new broadband phone services will give you the best control over your voice communications. By "control," I mean the types of features you want to use and how much, or how little, you want to spend.

Want to call your brother in Russia for free? This book will show you how. Want to dictate where your phone rings by clicking your telephone line configuration page on a web site? This book explains what to do.

My goal? To give consumers just like you and your family and friends the information you need to feel comfortable upgrading your telephone service. This book cares little for big business users or technicians; the book aims to help any individual with a broadband connection improve his voice communications. Small businesses with just a few phone lines will also benefit.
