Packet 8 VoIP
Packet 8 VoIP - I'm tired of counting minutes. I'm going back to Packet 8, for just $19.99 a month. That includes caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, and voicemail. It's a better deal than Vonage. I had a good experience using it a few years ago. No sign up commitment.
If you've ever wanted to try VoiceoverIP, it's pretty easy. They send you a modem, it works on a regular phone using your high speed internet line rather than the phone company. You can't tell a difference, it's just like a regular phone.
I'm still smarting from the highest T-mobile wireless bill of my life (OUCH)! I'm going back to VoIP and cell for on-the-road calls. The big problem is they said I can't port my cell number.
Note: Packet 8 has an auto-approved afiliate program via Linkshare. $60 payout for a residential line. Not bad. I haven't checked it against Vonage but I heard their payouts just went down.

FCC rules allow you to port a cellular to land line and visa versa now days.

That’s what I thought, but when I called they claimed they can’t. Must call again…

Yes, number porting is manadatory but they can delay the port for a long time if they like. Generally best to just get the service up and port the number later. Also when it comes to innovation in the digital phone service arena Vortalk offers more then any other with multiple line service, virtual numbers in other cities pointed to a Vortalk line in another so that residences and business can appear as if they operate there, concierge, data vaulting and a follow me 800 service that no else in industry offers. They will be introducing soft phone and true enterprise business service shortly. And as to agent commissons, they offer 20% for as long as the subscriber remains connected. Several Packet resellers have dropped them because the commissions are higher and the service better. They even have customer service located in the US. You can check them out at usivox.vortalk.com.
