What a way to promote VoIP
(old news - 03:17PM Monday May 28 2007)
tags: business · VoIP
Check out this press release from DialGet.com, provider of VoIP services. In describing why VoIP is a better option than traditional telephone lines, they give reasons that include “new features” like voicemail and call forwarding, retention of your old phone number and free monthly calls to “selected destinations.” Is that really the best they can do? Well, they do claim to be up to 62% cheaper than traditional phone lines, but we’re not buying it.

I don't remember hearing many good thing about most Canadian ISPs here on BBR.
I'll stick with Sun Rocket.

what POTS needs to do is compete with VOIP and Cellular service better, why does voice mail and caller ID come with my cell and not with a land line? why can i call anywhere in my state for the same rate on a cell and pay long distance on a land line to call the same number that is nearly free on a cell.

I don't know what POTS provider you are using for phone but caller ID was standard here but I believe voicemail was a bit extra, but that's what an answering machine is for What cell company are you using that allow long distance for "nearly free"?

Re: i do question this

the meaning of the * is to be determined later, on a case-by-case basis as to whatever fits their interests best at that current time.

The asterisk is probably supposed to refer to the fact that the unlimited plan is $19.99 if you sign a one-year contract. It's apparently $24.99 if you go the month-to-month route. At least that's what I get looking at other pages on the web site.

Dialget

They are nothing more than VOIP resellers.

Their provider is www.digitalvoice.ca

digitalvoice.ca offers ANYONE the oportunity to resell their VOIP service and make a profit on it.

Only problem is that the business opportunity will cost you approx 2500.00

Percentage

Whats funny is that the 62% they are alleging you save needs to be invested in getting either an analog phone line to carry your DSL at about $35/mo, a hefty expensive $70/mo comcast highspeed connection, Wireless internet (sat or WiFi) not cheap either; just so that you have a medium to carry their service across.

BTW, I don't know where they get "new features from", we had Voicemail with Ameritech back in the early 90's. I was using 3-way calling in the mid 90's, and the other features were pretty much picked up as soon as they were available to us back in the 90's.

Lets Compare:
I pay $45/mo for the following services (At&t):
Basic unlimited Local Calling
Local Toll & Long Distance Calls all at 7.9 cents per minute (no monthly fee for a long distance package)
and DSL Elite)

Any other comparisons?

Oh By the way. I can pretty much speak to anyone anywhere that I need to for free with Teamspeak, Yahoo, or any other free VoIP capable software.

I pay $19.95 a month for my DSL and another $19.95 a month for my unlimited VOIP sevice.

Thats $39.90 a month, no long distance or per minute charges...
