Hey,
Well lets see I dropped Vonage over a year ago because it was just horrible. Mostly because of my internet connection (Adelphia Cable), but those times when my connection was rock solid my connection overseas was not. Since then I dropped Vonage and Adelphia, got Bellsouth and Bellsouth DSL. Well I started to get sick of paying out the rear. My phone bills tripled (probably more). Then up pops the news that AT&T is now offering naked dsl. I said ok lets try VoIP again. I decided to go with my Long Distance provider, Primus' VoIP offering. Primus has been the only cheap international long distance I have never had troubles with in all the years one time or another of using POTS. Lingo has been excellent. I have used it all last night and today like crazy calling everyone. Better than my POTS line which is just amazing. And at last my overseas calls don't have issues as they did with Vonage! Lingo also offers a whole lot of free countries to call. If I use as much minutes as I have with POTS that right there will save me over a $100 by itself. Now that it's free I'll be using it even more! Im not going to budget my European calls.
Honestly Lingo I think is the best choice if you want POTS like service. It comes from a great company, Primus and hands down the best deal. Whenever I hear about free country calling I am worried, but I wasn't this time around since Primus has been around forever offering great international long distance. Quality free international calls to so many countries!
Thank You AT&T for naked DSL!
Thanks to you Lingo! for making the world a smaller place. I don't have to worry about calling internationally (all the ones I call are on the free country list!). Its now second nature to pick up the phone and call thousands of miles away! without a second thought.
One more thing, I rated the ease of installation a 3 because the box came before they registered it on the network. So I think. The way it seems was I hooked it up before their servers actually put my box online. I called tech support (5 minute wait or so) and they got me all setup real quick. Very Courteous. I know they were Indian, but his English and his control of the language was great. I could have sworn he was a car salesman at the local Mercedes Benz dealer.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! :
Have had problem with Lingo Box, no service for a month. Gave them a month to try and repair it. Still wouldn't allow a new box to be sent out. Canceled my card, canceled service. Good thing I canceled the card too because they tried to charge the card next months service and now send me emails saying I need to pay and if I don't my service may be suspended (should already be! considering I canceled it)
