Voip.ms is a voice over Internet protocol provider, our service requires an Internet Service Provider(ISP) and works through SIP/IAX2 protocols, if you wish to update your regular telephone service to a new improved system of voice over IP you will need to get en Internet connection, an ATA Adapter and a regular analogue handset.

Voip.ms is a prepaid service that allows you to control your expenses, you can add funds with a minimum amount of $25 USD via Credit Card, PAyPal, Bank Wire or Western Union(depending on the account restrictions). Your payments will be added to your balance and your calls and other charges will be debited from that balance, every time you run low on balance you could repeat this process again.
