VOIP rocks! After seeing the VOIP (Voice Over IP) market explode with offerings, I decided to compile an unbiased VOIP plan comparison chart, to compare a wide range of plans. The chart currently includes VOIP plans from AT&T, BroadVoice, Lingo, Packet8, Speakeasy, SunRocket, Verizon, VoicePulse, Vonage, VoxFlow, and AOL. I'll be adding more providers as time permits.
I signed up for AT&T's CallVantage VOIP telephone service a year and a half ago and I'm still digging it. The overall VOIP call quality is excellent and I've slashed my monthly phone bills by more than half. With unlimited long distance, I can yak to my heart's content without watching the proverbial egg-timer each time I make a call.
Among the big VOIP players, the most popular features like voice mail, call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID, and 3-way calling are provided at no extra charge. Tell that to your local phone company the next time they try selling them to you at extra cost!
While we've come to take free unlimited long distance for granted with the VOIP plans, some digging has turned up a whole bunch of interesting options with regard to international calling. How about unlimited calls to Asia or Europe?
If you're thinking about going with a VOIP plan, the chart is a must read.
