VoIPReview.org Announces the 5 Best Residential VoIP Providers for Cheap International Calling(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) (PRWEB) February 21, 2013 In a recent study done by TeleGeography, research shows that both international calling and VoIP phone service are on the rise. In 2012, international phone traffic grew 5% and VoIP service grew a whopping 44%. The study’s analysts theorize the correlation between VoIP and international calling, suggesting that their mutual rising in popularity go hand-in-hand. VoIP technology allows phone calls to be made over the Internet, instead of the standard method of making phone calls over landlines.
