While we take pride in our entire website, we take special pride in these Voip pages. We have done extensive research in order that you, the end user, will walk away knowing that
you got the best plan for you own personal needs. There are many Voip comparison charts out there already, how is ours different? Firstly, our charts
are 100% guaranteed to be unbiased. We don't try to promote companies that give us big commissions. None of that stuff. Just honest to goodness information to help people like you seek-a-plan for Voip. Secondly, we have yet to find a chart that list more than six companies. When you seek-a-plan, you want to see all the choices, don't you ? Lastly, the clarity of our chart. Check it out, it speaks for itself. Please
Note: All Plans Require High Speed Internet
Access ( DSL or
Cable). With Voip plans you cannot accept Collect calls and you cannot dial "900" numbers.
Includes U.S. 50 States and Canada. Monthly
Grand Total $24.95 or $16.65
What we like most about Sunrocket is that they are
a no-nonsense company. No added Taxes, Fees,
Charges, Activations, Shipping, Equipment...(we
all know that the list can keep going). You are
either going to pay a total of $24.95 or $16.65.
The Difference: The $16.65 price is only if you
pay up front for the year which is $199. But don't
panic, there's no contract so anytime during the
year you want to back out, they'll refund
(pro-rate) the remaining balance of your initial
$199.00 payment. Of-course with no penalty.
However, if you choose to pay monthly, you'll pay
$24.95/month. If their low price shocked you a
little, you're in for a few more surprises. They
are the only Voip company to offer 1) $3.00
of Free International Calling per month. 2)
Two free calls to Directory Assistance per month. 3)
First 31 days you can try the service for a
full refund. Unlike all the other companies,
Sunrocket gives you unlimited minutes during your
trial period. Sunrocket also give you a free virtual
number.
Another thing we liked about Sunrocket was their
customer service. There are three ways to contact
them. By phone, email, and live help. We never had
to wait on hold when we called. Sunrocket makes
themselves available just about anytime you'd want
to call: 8:00 a.m. to Midnight EST, seven days a
week.
International
Rate Grade - 8th place.
Includes U.S. 50 States and
Canada. Monthly Grand Total $19.95
Voipnet offers one of the cheapest plans. Voipnet
doesn't surprise you with extra fees:
$19.95/month. A great plus that Voipnet offers is
a free Virtual Number. If you are an International
caller, we would highly recommend this plan.
Voipnet has the cheapest rates to most
International destinations. A great feature that
no other Voip provider in our list offers is, Fax
to Email. People wishing to send you a fax, dial
your phone number and the fax is received directly
into your Email inbox. You don't need a fax
machine to receive faxes.
International Rate Grade - 1st place.
Includes U.S. 50 States and
Canada. Monthly Grand Total $22.05
Recently voted #1 for voice quality, Packet8 has
what to offer, all for a very reasonable price.
While all Voip companies offer remote voicemail
retrieval, Packet8 is the only one to offer a toll
free number to the message center. For most
people, this is a valuable feature. This feature
gives you the ability to call from any phone
(incl. payphones) a toll free number and pick up
your voicemail. The only company to require a
1-year contract. Canceling your service after the
30 day trial period is over before 12 months, is
going to set you back $59.00.
International
Rate Grade -Tied with Lingo for 6th and 7th
place.
Includes U.S. 50 States
(Including P.R.& USVI) Canada, and Western
Europe. The following countries are included in
Western Europe. Please note: Calls to mobile
phones, premium and special service numbers in
these areas are not included. UK, Germany, France,
Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark,
Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg,
Vatican City, Norway, Portugal, and Spain. Monthly
Grand Total $22.09
Even if you don't have any relatives that you'll
be calling in Portugal, this is still a great
value plan. With the monthly grand total of $22.09
and the first month total start up fee of $61.99,
this plans a winner. It is noteworthy to mention
Lingo's customer service. Whenever we called, the
wait was short, we got friendly reps, and most of
all, they were well informed, (they didn't put us
on hold every question we asked). Their
e-mail customer care always answered us promptly
with clear answers. A unique feature of
Lingo is their International virtual numbers. For
just $10/month you can get your own local number
in any one of these countries: Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, Canada (only $5.00/month),
France, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan,
UK.
International
Rate Grade -Tied with Packet8 for 6th and 7th
place.
Includes U.S. 50 States, and Canada. Monthly
Grand Total $27.24 (N.J. residents pay $29.54)
With over 1 million Voip
customers, Vonage is the leader in the Voip retail
market. Although in our chart their monthly grand
total adds up to be above average, if you are
looking to stick with a well establish company, we
would suggest Vonage. A unique feature that
surprisingly is not found by any other VoiP
provider is: Caller ID includes the name
(all providers offer Caller ID, but just the
number comes up without the name). If you make a
lot of International calls, Vonage may not be your
best bet. They scored last place in our International
Grade System, meaning, Vonage has the highest
International rates.
International
Rate Grade - 9th place (last).
Includes U.S. 50 States and
Canada. Monthly Grand Total $24.99
With this plan, you don't have the option of
keeping your current phone number. The
$123.96 start up fee seems quite high price, but
if you send in the rebate the startup fee will be
knocked down to $73.97. If you are a frequent user
of Directory Assistance, keep in mind that you are
going to pay $1.25 per call (as apposed to most
companies charging only 75 cents). An important
service that is currently unavailable is 911. When
you dial 911 nothing happens. One
thing that Opex uniquely offers is paper billing.
For $1.99 a month, you can receive your bill via
USPS.
International
Rate Grade - 5th place
