VoIP Price War Declared

gardel writes "Voxilla reports that a VoIP price war was declared today. An announcement that AT&T would drop its prices for its CallVantage Service from $34.99 to $29.99 per month was followed quickly by an announcement that Vonage would drop the price on its unlimited calling plan to $25 a month from the previous $29.99. Analysts say the price cuts show the VoIP market is not only competitive, but it's serious."

Vonage rocks

I'm signed up for the 500 anytime minute Vonage plan for $14.95. I've been extremely impressed with the service so far. They sent out the box right away, I plugged it into my network, and it "just worked". The online control panel is really slick, too. Very well designed, all the options right there, including listening to voicemail.

Even transferring my phone number was painless. I just faxed them a phone bill and they took care of the rest.

I was a little concerned with "voice lag", where you get that delay effect, but so far it's been unnoticeable. (but I also have a four megabit cable modem).

In short, Vonage has rocked so far. I had my doubts about VoIP, but no doubts any longer.

AT&T callvantage prices drop to $20...
