Lingo goes global with World Max plan

Posted by kent on October 2nd, 2009

VoIP provider Lingo has a new offer, and we thought we should let you know what's changed. They're clearly taking aim at Vonage's World Unlimited plan, undercutting them by a dollar and offering to serve more locations. Lingo lists over 100 to Vonage's sixty-plus, but Lingo's numbers include mobile lines, so it's closer to 80 countries (including Vatican City, in case you have to put a call through to His Holiness).

Lingo charges $24.95 per month for the unlimited world calling plan, and your first month is $4.95 (they used to give you three months at that price, but they also weren't giving you the world). All the setup, shipping, and equipment fees are also waived.

So does this mean Lingo comes out on top? Its after-30-days cancelation fee is still higher than Vonage's ($99.95 to $39.99), but the true measure of its value will be if it covers the countries you call most.
