Add to del.icio.usIn Search of VoIP - June 11, 2007 -
Ashwin |
I’m about ready to dump my traditional phone service provided by Verizon and switch over to a VoIP provider.
I tried, unsuccessfully, to reduce the amount of money I pay Verizon for my seldom used home phone and found that I’m still paying about $45 each month and that’s just ridiculous. Most VoIP providers have full-featured services starting at $24.95/month.
Just looking that the savings from switching to a VoIP service, I began my search with Vonage and found that there are many more providers. It also looks like Vonage’s service isn’t as highly praised as some others, so I would love to hear from other providers and your first hand experience with them so that I can decide.
Currently, I’m looking very favorably at Allo.com and Voip.com.
All of your thoughts requested…
Cheers

i’ve actually been pretty happy with vonage, altho i don’t really use my landline a whole lot.
Yeah I figured you were using your Cell as your primary phone and the landline as just backup.
I would need to use it often enough to call India and all that, don’t want to be easting my cell minutes on those longer calls.
It’s just the there are other alternatives to Vonage that are cheaper, but I just want to get some opinions before I take the plunge..
Vonage now has international calling plans for as little as $6/mo ($30 total bill). A quick glance didn’t show India specifically, so I think you’re still out of luck. voip2save has 21 free international countries as well, but again…no India. http://www.yourcallworld.com/ is claiming 24/7 free calls to India, so you may want to check them out.
Good luck,

I’ve been using Reliance India Call for all my international calls to India and it’s working out pretty well. The rate to India is around 11cents per minute. It’s a pre-paid service so I know I won’t exceed some maximum..
In the end, I ended up getting the Comcast Digital Voice with a bundle package..and that has worked out quite well so far..
