VoIP Unlimited
- VoIP Unlimited Services
As the VoIP service provider space becomes more and more crowded, you are going to see more and more creative pricing schemes. For instance, Greg Galitzine sent me an email with a press release stating that RNKVoIP would be rolling out "Phone for Life" that would allow consumers to pay a one-time fee of $999 for a lifetime of unlimited VoIP phone service. Yeah, you read that correctly. Let's put that $999 in perspective. Assuming most VoIP service providers charge $22/month (this is just an estimate, Vonage currently charges $25/month) it would take 3.78 years to reach the point where you would "break even" with the current "unlimited monthly" VoIP offerings. And that $22/month is a static number - no doubt it will steadily, so it could take 4,5,6 years or longer to reach the point where essentially your phone line becomes "free" for as long as you live.
- VoIP Unlimited Covad offers
Covad unveiled that customers using its PBXi and PBXi Plus business-class Voice over IP (VoIP) offerings will now have unlimited domestic monthly minutes. I wanted to blog about this yesterday, but wanted more information. I asked Covad more specifics about their pricing plan via email and they wanted to schedule a conference call to discuss, but I'm pretty busy this week, so I'll just tell you what I do know. First, technically it's not truly "unlimited" since it is capped at 101,000 minutes per site per month. That equates to about 56 hours per day of talk time. Assuming 50 employees with an average talk-time of 1 hour per day, you'll be under the quota with 50 hours total talk time.

- VoIP Unlimited Complaint Calling
I switched to Internet phone about six months ago. After some research I found only one company that offered a local phone number for me here in Oregon and that was VOIP.com. I signed up for their Residential Unlimited Monthly account that advertises unlimited calling. Things have been working quite well and other than an occasional dropped call and garble no problems. However a month ago I received an email from VOIP.com stating that it appeared I was using the phone for business and they were going to change my account to a business account that, of course, would cost more money. After communicating with them I determined their evaluation was based only on the amount of usage. It seems my unlimited calling account has a limit.
