| Netzero Voice I can't speak to the facts regarding it being a dial-up voice provider, however as a broadband user, I enjoyed NZ Voice tremendously.
I mean, I paid $4.00 a month and had a local phone number, with unlimited incoming minutes, and 100 minutes outgoing a month. This was more than enough to supplement my unlimited minutes cell phone plan, just to have a phone in the home. And the quality of the service was excellent on my high-speed line. I had the service for nearly a year.
Regardless, all good things must come to an end. I think the fact that they are folding it has a lot more to do with the fact that it was barely marketed or advertised, as opposed to it simply being compatible with dial-up internet.
Either way, I won't be switching to packet8. "Phonepower.com" offers unlimited service for $10 bucks a month (for the first 6 months) before going to $19.99 unlimited, so I suggest other NZ Voice users who are switching to check it out. They give a free voip router, with no contract. I will be porting my number on Nov. 26, as it can take up to 14 days for it to switch. |
