I wouldn’t be too cautious to think that VoWI Fi won’t become the big wave of the future. Technology continues to advance dramatically, and once VoWiFi does work out their roaming and security issues, the incredible cost reduction will make these products hot commodities.

Vonage has started their VoWiFi phone service, and in preparation for this big trend, a market has opened for VoWiFi phones. Currently available are WiFi handsets that have added features such as Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, and Call Transfer. Prices for VoWiFi phones vary thought you can typically purchase one for under $200.00. VoWiFi is attracting a huge base of fans. It can offer unlimited world calling, unlimited messaging features, and there are benefits that VoWiFi has that are not available with cellular phones. For instance, there are no roaming charges with VoWiFi and this is a popular trend, which may change in the future. Most major phone companies have already produced the hybrid phones, or are still in the production stage.

Currently, Sprint has a lawsuit against Vonage and another VoIP provider. Maybe they are worried that VoIP is going to take a drastic bite out of their financial kingdoms. Time will tell, but one thing is certain, VoIP is here to stay, and as more customers become aware of the value of services such as VoIP WiFi, demand will continue to increase. There may be more battles between small up and coming VoIP and WiFi companies with powerhouses such as Sprint, but that is an example that the technology is proving to be a serious threat.
