VoIP FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about VoIP

    What kind of calling plans do VoIP providers offer?

    All the VoIP providers we work with offer plans that include all local and long distance calls to the U.S. and Canada for one flat rate, including all your phone features such as voice mail, call waiting and caller ID. You can either get plans for a certain number of minutes, such as 500, or for unlimited minutes. Most of the unlimited plans cost only around $20 per month. Some providers, such as Lingo, include all calls to Western Europe as well and also offer all-inclusive plans for calling Mexico, Asia and other areas.
