Is a skype phone cheaper than a common landline phone?

What is the advantage of having skype phone replacing one's landline virgin media?

  • Virgin media is ripping me off at present. If skype has all the features then why not replace it with skype cordless?

  • Answer:

    because call quality - skype call quality is really poor.. if you must go with VoIP look for a provider that uses SIP (yes, skype business uses SIP, but for the most part skype uses a proprietary P2P standard) also you are tied to your computer, or if you get a telephone adapter, dialing plans can be a PITA, you need to preceded every dialed number with 00 since a land line phone does not allow you to add a + and you must add * at the end of the dialed number to send the call... ex: a call to 1-212-555-1212 would need to be dialed as 00 1 212 555 1212 *
