| VoIP isnt dead.. Actually, considering I pay $1.39 a month for my phone service (for at least the next 6 years) for MagicJack, it is a great example of how cheap phone service has become. And that includes unlimited local/long distance to anywhere in the US/Canada, very very cheap international rates if you want to call like Asia or Europe, unlim. voicemail, unlim. 411, threeway, call waiting, caller id, etc. And it works with credit card terminals, fax machines, home security, satellite boxes, etc. etc.
Its 39.99 for the USB dongle that you plug the phone into (or connect to your internal house wiring) and and your first year of service, then 59.99 if you prepay for 5 more years of service, otherwise it is 19.99 a year after the first. Customer Service sucks to be honest, but I dont really need them anyways ;p And the softphone may be annoying but you can install it as a service if needed, or, get your SIP info and use a standard ATA (while this is not allowed by the TOS, yet, ((BYOD is coming)), alot of people do this and it works fine).
I couldnt imagine having to pay $20+ a month now for phone service, considering how cheap it has gotten. |
