Well after two years with VOIP, I must say its being a real benefit. I was introduced to the technology through Vonage (unlimited US, CAN) and couldn’t believe that a call through the internet could be so good. Back then the term SIP (session initiated protocol) had no meaning to me, but after a 7 month spree with Vonage and techno mind at heart. I quickly learn the business (for detail see Vonage review). After learning the technical stuff I when looking for better prices I found Lingo for 19.95 down from 24.95 ( at one point it was $30 with Vonage). I also got a basic backup from Bellsouth for $22 month (yes back to POT after month of VOIP). I still have this line because I am in a hurricane zone, and the bells get things up and running quicker that any internet or voip provider. I had lingo 19.95 + bell 22, FWD, stantaphone.com, ipkall.com, voipbuster.com, and sipdiscount.com for 13 months (I will write a review for lingo at a later time but to sum it up “not worth the trouble but there were the cheapest thing to Vonage). But like I said price rule in voip world so I got me a sipura 3000 (no voip house should go without one) I learnt more playing with my sipura in 2 months than the 19 before then. I use my sipura to subscribe to a little not so know provider call Linefire because they are still the only voip I knew that offered unlimited plan to the US, CAN, Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean @34.95. Cool and the where reliable as say lingo which I continue to have because there had a # I ported from the Bell, I even had a second # @ that price. Four month into Linefire, I dump lingo I couldn’t take there India rep. (no offence to the great country of India. ‘The miss told me to add that, you see her is Indian and a fine one at that.) whom at this point, I knew more than.
Then as fate may have it Linefire, my primary provider merge with ITP.com who cancelled all Linefire plans. So with no competitive advantage to offers I was left with few choices, go back to low tech lingo or try Broadvoice which bring us to why I am here. BV with there BYOD plan play perfect for my sipura setup with gateway functionality. They also priced well for 19.95 you get US, Can and 21 international country (no of which is JA or Caribbean for that matter), they also have the best web management portal second only to Vonage. But like I said there don’t answer the phone, but when they do they know there stuff. You may notice that Vonage is the benchmark by which all other VOIP is measured, this is by no means a testament to there superiority instead it is only because there were my first.
