VoIP Residential Comparison Guide: Evaluating Packet8, Lingo, and Vonage
Summary
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is revolutionizing residential phone systems by offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional landlines. Utilizing your cable or DSL internet, VoIP can reduce phone bills by at least 50%. Leading the charge in this field are three prominent companies: Packet8, Lingo, and Vonage. Let’s explore their offerings to find the best VoIP plan for your needs.
Introduction
The rise of VoIP has presented a significant challenge to traditional phone companies like AT&T. Companies such as Vonage, Lingo, and Packet8 are paving the way with substantial savings for consumers. Here’s an analysis of their services.
Vonage
Known for its memorable ads, Vonage aggressively targets new customers. Their Premium Unlimited plan costs $24.99 per month, offering unlimited calls to the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Europe. This plan includes features like call waiting, voicemail, and three-way calling. Vonage also provides a basic plan at $14.99, offering 500 minutes per month with the same features.
Lingo
Lingo competes with a $21.99 monthly plan that includes calls to the US, Canada, and Western Europe. All Vonage features are matched, with additional perks like anonymous call rejection. Their basic plan also includes 500 minutes, and they offer a budget option at $7.95 for Lingo-to-Lingo calls.
Packet8
Packet8 is making a strong impact with a $19.99 plan for calls across the US and Canada. Matching the features of Vonage and Lingo, Packet8 offers a compelling deal: pay annually and get the Freedom Unlimited plan for just $199. Additionally, they provide a rebate on a quality Uniden IP phone with a router for annual subscribers, which Vonage and Lingo do not match.
911 Access Concerns
Two primary concerns with VoIP are power outages and 911 connectivity. During power outages, VoIP is unusable unless supported by a generator, prompting many users to rely on cell phones for emergencies.
The FCC has introduced new regulations requiring VoIP providers to route 911 calls to local emergency centers, along with the caller's number and location. This enhanced 911 (e911) service significantly improves safety for VoIP users.
Conclusion
VoIP offers a notable reduction in phone costs with extensive features. Whether you choose Vonage, Lingo, or Packet8, each provider presents unique advantages. With e911 addressing safety concerns, VoIP is becoming an increasingly viable option for residential users.
