Via Talk is one of the cheapest yet reliable VoIP services available in the market today. With its current user lock-in plan that provides 2 phone lines with unlimited calls for 2 years at $199 USD, Via Talk is a real value for money option for regular VoIP users.

Once you complete payment for your membership via credit card, you receive the adapter by mail in about a week’s time. The rest is as easy as installing any other plug-and-play device. Via Talk also provides users the option of bringing their own device in order to reduce the fees partially. So if you have used any other VoIP service in the past, you may want to try and unlock the adapter and re-use it.

When used on a cable internet connection Via Talk provides superior sound quality without background sound and no call dropping. Dial-up internet connections might record poorer audio output, as is the case with any VoIP software.

This is where Via Talk has had to pull up its socks. Having had trouble in meeting the exceptional demand it generated in the past, Via Talk faced early user complaints of slow and inefficient customer service and query resolution. In response, Via Talk beefed up their service staff numbers and its customer service center in now equipped to turn around queries in super fast time, with the help of a first come first serve ticketing system. Again, the web based user control panel has been modified and now allows users to gain information and make modifications to key account information online.

VPhone Power is another of the Voice Over Internet Protocol options that have become available in the recent past. Run as a small business this services passes on operation cost savings to customers in the form of low plan rates, without cutting back on the features offered by the larger companies. Vonage comes with a handset rather than just a router. This makes its use identical to that of an analog phone as opposed to IM based VoIP systems. The handsets currently offered by Vonage are Motorola VT1005v and Linksys RT31P2.

In the call quality department, Vonage has mixed reviews. While its call quality has been known to closely resemble that of an analog line, it seems to be facing problems since its initial days of glory. While many VoIP systems work well on DSL connections, Vonage is one of the few where quality is distinguishably better on a cable or FOIS internet connection. Though it does not happen often, the Vonage modem sometimes slows down ones internet usage speeds to bothering levels. In conclusion, Vonage is still one of the best VoIP option for most and is especially suited for those who are attached to their old telephone line’s look and feel.

Packet8 is one of the most well-known VoIP providers in the market. It is a public company and of the first VoIP businesses to start making profits. It boasts competitive pricing and a host of features. But it is the video phone service that truly makes it stand out. Packet8 comes with a Uniden UIP1868P two-in-one phone cum adapter. One handset comes with the subscription at $49 for a one year term and users have the choice of buying additional handsets to use in conjunction with the main line. However there is a cancellation fee of $99 if the service is terminated prior to completion of the one year stipulated period. The adapter itself is a simple plug and play device.

Packet8 has received mixed feedback on their customer service – some good and some bad. There is a toll-free service number for users in the USA open Monday to Saturday. Non-US users need to pay USA long distance rates to reach customer care. There is also the cheaper option of email query resolution. Packet8 offers a transparent 30 day or 300 minutes free trial period which is a good way to try out the service before investing in it. Given its large customer base, Packet8 is worth a try. But there are far cheaper options that offer more features for the value-for-money seeking consumer.
