I have been looking on a deal to get IP phone service for a while. I ordered this yesterday. I will test out the service since there’s a 30 day return policy here…
Too bad fax doesn’t work though, I didn’t know that.

Lol…because that’s what the Packet8 page that I copied from says!

Besides, if it was, I would be able to say that I’ve been to every continent but Antarctica

does packet8 charge tax???

i have “lingo” service. i pay about $23.00 plus tax, which works out to about $28.00 a month for free global calling. i am not so happy with them. the line sometimes fades out, and the customer service is horrible.

has anyone else had experience with them, and how does the phone service compare to packet8

I also have packet8 for home and it isn’t too bad quality wise (I do have verizon fios 20mb/5mb although I’m not sure if that make any difference). The part I am not happy with is they seem to have lots of glitches from dropped calls to one side not hearing the other from time to time. Also, Packet8 lines don’t support faxing, so if you need to fax from the line then this is not for you, it won’t work. The tech support is not to helpful either. But like David said, considering the amount of money you’re saving its a great deal.

I have Packet 8 at home now. The quality is average at best. Doesn’t come close to a landline, but good enough considering the amount of money you’re saving.

Not sure how this works….if I have dsl on another line I can use that dsl connection to get packet 8? Then I would have two phone lines off only one real phone line?

I haven’t used them recently, but I had Packet 8 during the year I spent in Brazil and it worked very well.

Yoko-I believe it depends on the country. For US and Canada calls to cellphones are definitely allowed.

In the US and Canada there are generally no free incoming calls, so the cell phone owner pays for the call.

In most countries in the world there are free incoming calls, so the caller has to pay for the call, hence the reason calling international cell phones from the US is so much more expensive than calling international landlines.

I think that outgoing calls to cell phones are not included in the plans.
