How Voip Works
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
(Including P.R) and Canada plus 41 International
Destinations. Monthly Grand Total $9.95
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). With this
plan you will pay a one time activation fee
of $39.95. Please take
note: This plan is the only VoiP plan that does not
include Voicemail. Voicemail is an
additional $3/month. The 200 monthly minutes can
also be used to call 41 International destinations.
Additional minutes are 3¢/ minute. Incoming
calls and calls to other Sunrocket users are free.
We recommend this plan, however for a few more dollars
a month you can get much more with the Sunrocket
Unlimited Annual Plan for $199/year (you receive
Unlimited to U.S. and Canada, 2 free cordless
phones, no activation fee, free voicemail, free virtual
number, 2 free 411 calls/month, and
$3.00 of International calls/month). There are no
contract or cancellation fees for any Sunrocket
plan.
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:
7:00 a.m. to Midnight EST, seven days a week. International
Rate Grade - 8th 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 $10.00 or $16.94 Due
to recent FCC rulings, Lingo cannot offer their
service where E911 is not available. Please check
to see if it's available in your area, by
clicking here.
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 that is only
found by 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.
Includes U.S. 50 States and
Canada. Monthly Grand Total $12.95
Voipnet offers one of the cheapest plans.
Voipnet doesn't surprise you with extra fees:
$12.95/month. With this plan you get 500 minutes
and additional minutes are 2.9¢ and all the
features that are offered in the unlimited
package. 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.
Includes U.S. 50 States and
Canada. Monthly Grand Total $14.99
With this plan, you don't have the option of
keeping your current phone number. The $113.96 start up fee seems quite high price, but
if you send in the rebate the startup fee will be
knocked down to $63.97. 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.
