There are hundreds of
choices to choose from in the internet telephone market, and every
person has different telephone needs. So how do you know which VoIP
broadband phone service is right for you? I will break down
the varying needs of the internet phone consumer, and provide the best
VoIP service for that need.
For the average consumer, whose needs mostly involve local calling with
the occasional call to relatives or friends in other states, the main
choice is Vonage. Vonage is inexpensive, stable, and reliable. Vonage's
unlimited calling plan is $24.99 a month, and allows for unlimited calls
in the USA, Canada, and much of western Europe.
For a customer who needs to make a lot of outbound international calls,
it often depends upon the destination. If you call a variety of
international countries, you may want to consider Packet8, whose
"Freedom International" allows for free calls to non-mobile and
non-premium numbers in 40 nations.
For a customer who expects to receive a lot of inbound international
calls, you would most likely want to look at Lingo VoIP from Primus
Telecommunications. Lingo offers phone numbers in Argentina, Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico,
South Korea, Spain, and the UK. This allows you to get a local number
for whoever is going to call you. This means the phone call will count
as a local call! The savings for both you and your callers will be
enormous.
For someone who only makes a few phone calls a month to international
locales, SunRocket may be the option. SunRocket's inexpensive price of
$199 a year, or about $17 a month, has with it a $3 allowance for
international calls. SunRocket's international call pricing is also
famous for it's "SunRocket SunSpots", 41 countries which can be called
for only $0.03 a minute, which include China, Australia, France,
Austria, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Malaysia, and others. With that $3
monthly allowance, you could call those countries for 100 minutes for
free every month.
And finally, for the penny pincher, there is ViaTalk. ViaTalk has
literally the most inexpensive VoIP service around. Priced at $15.95
with two months free, it just doesn't get cheaper. However, SunRocket is
only a $1 a month more, and may be worth the upgrade. Or the options
Lingo and Packet8 have may intrigue you. Or the large in-network and
big-name value of Vonage might be just what you need.
Whatever your choice, there is a internet phone company specifically
tailored for your needs. Make sure to compare the services and figure
out which works internet phone service works best for you.
