Unlike most home phone plans, popular services like caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, *69 (call-back) are generally included at no extra charge with Internet calling.
In addition, since Internet calling is done in conjunction with your broadband connection, you are able to utilize and manage a whole new generation of features. Here are a few of the more interesting ones:
- Virtual Phone Number: Get a 2nd number, maybe where you have lots of family, so those people don't pay long distance to call you. It still rings to your main Internet calling number.
-
Choose your Area Code: Live in New York City but want a Chicago area code? Not a problem with Internet calling, as physical location is not an issue.
-
Take Your Phone: You can take your phone service with you when you travel, as long as you have a broadband connection available to you.
-
Interactive Address Book: Click a name online to dial your phone (or you can still dial the old-fashioned way). It's like having your own personal phone directory.
-
Enhanced Voicemail: Check via phone --- or online --- or via email. You can also forward an audio message to multiple people (just like regular email)
-
Real Time Billing & Account Logs: No need to wait for a monthly paper bill; all your account activity is readily available through an online account manager.

Important Tax/Fee Update!
|
|
As of July, 2006, the government will no longer collect the 3% federal excise tax on telecommunications. However, at the same time, VoIP providers will now be required to contribute to the Universal Service Fund, which helps subsidize service in rural and low-income areas. The contribution rate for this fund varies by quarter and can even vary by VoIP provider (because it is based on interstate call percentages). Initially, however, it is expected to be about 6.8%, and we have updated our tax/fee calculations accordingly.
