VoIP Phone Services

I love the Internet.  Have I mentioned that before?  Yes, I probably have.  I’m one of those people that believes that everything I could ever want can be found on the world wide web.  Shopping, communication, information… heck, I need never leave the comforts of this computer chair that has taken on the shape of my backside.

But let’s face it.  We do have lives away from our computers and sometimes we need to push back our chairs and stretch our under-used limbs.  But that doesn’t take away from the Internet’s worth.  Our high speed connections can be of value even when we’re not slumped in front of our screens and, although we have yet to take the plunge, I’ve been researching VoIP phone services.  By getting rid of our regular landline services and taking on an Internet phone services, not only would our monthly phone bills drop, but we’d also have some pretty amazing features available to us at no extra charge. 

For instance, we pay $29.95 for our phone service right now and we get just that: phone service.  We can make and receive unlimited local calls.  But for a similar price, $29.99, Packet8 offer their Freedom Unlimited Global plan, which incredibly includes unlimited local and long distance calling within Canada and the United States (our phone company offer that at an extra charge of $24.95 per month!) and unlimited calling to a long list of other countries, one being the United Kingdom, which would be very useful to us.  And all of their calling packages include great features like voicemail, caller ID, call forwarding, three-way calling and much more, at no extra cost.

And then there is the video phone called the Packet8 DV326, which offers high-quality, crisp and clear color images at up to 30 frames per second.  When used alongside one of Packet8’s calling packages, you’ll never need a keyboard, mouse and monitor again to see and talk to the ones you love.  Like any ordinary phone, the DV326 is plug-and-play.  Simply plug it in and you’re ready to go.  No complicated set-up! The screen offers picture-in-picture, giving you a local camera view.

The Packet8 DV326 is attractive and it looks like so much fun.  If I can convince Stephen to cast aside our antiquated phone service provider in favour of the streamlined service of Packet8, I’ll have the DV326, along with unlimited calls to my Mum and sister in Montreal as well as to Stephen’s family in the UK.  Please.
