Spectacular VoIP Service Offering

You will find on my site that compares VoIP services, a really great deal for those who pay significant toll charges for calls to the USA and Canada. For $199 per year (that's only $16.58 per month), you get unlimited calling to the USA and Canada. Included for the $16.58 per month is a $3 credit toward international calling at very low rates. For example, calls to Australia, the UK, France, Germany and Italy can be made for 3 cents per minute. Also, there is a limited time bonus of a free Uniden Cordless Phone System if you sign up today. The service gives you two phone numbers and 10 built-in calling features including voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, and 3 way calling. There are two free Directory Assistance calls each month - additional calls are just $.79 each. The price includes all related taxes and fees. Check it out today. There is a 31 day risk-free, money-back guarantee.

Great Broadband DSL Internet Access Offer

Although my specialty is T1 and DS3 line service, there are some great deals available on my web site for residential Telecommunications service. A really great one is broadband DSL Internet Access for $14.95 per month. This is less than many people are paying for dial-up Internet Access. It's available in Verizon territories but, as is always true for DSL, the wires from your home to the local phone company (LEC) Central Office have to meet distance and quality requirements. To determine what services are available for your home and to sign up for one of them, go to T1Guy.com for Broadband Internet Access Quotes and Comparisons. Click on "Residential DSL Quotes" in the middle bottom of the page and enter your info. This promotion is scheduled to end November 30. If you sign up before then, Verizon will give you a year contract at this great price.

VoIP Phones for Travel - China

Should you take your VoIP phone along while traveling? Here is the experience of one of my VoIP customers. He took a small $8 phone along with his VoIP dta on a China trip. In the first hotel where he stayed, he never got a dial tone. This was possibly because of IP blocking. At the second hotel, he could make and receive calls with no difficulty except that, although he could hear the person on the other end of the call loud and clear, the person on the other end reported that his voice was very weak. At the third hotel, in Beijing, he was able to make and receive calls with USA friends and relatives and the call quality was great. The lesson is that, although many of us have plugged VoIP phones into random broadband connections and found them to work, sometimes they won’t work or won’t work perfectly.

Virtual Presence in other Cities

If you receive numerous phone calls from a certain city, you may wish to have a number that is a local call for those callers. You can do that with VoIP (voice over IP) phones either by having your main VoIP number in that city or by obtaining a virtual number for that city.

For example, if you are in LA, you might have a Manhattan VoIP number that will then be a local call for your friends or business associates in New York City.
