North Andover, MA | $19.95 - No Marketing?
Shocking. Considering it's half the price of their POTS line.
"there has also been a distinct lack of marketing for the service - at least when compared to Verizon's attempt to publicize Fios, for instance." |

| screw the discount
Lets get naked DSL and then Voicewing.... I do not see the point of a pots line charge, dsl charge, and a voicewing charge....
I am in an area where the cheapest pots line is 16.95 a month... that is with nothing on the line.... the dsl 29.99, and then if I want voicewing it would be an extra 19.95 a month... this is all before taxes....
so 67.00 before taxes for all 3.... nope make no sense to me!!!!!!!! |

Newton Highlands, MA | Paired with FiOS?
What about the $20 Voicewing plan paired with Verizon FiOS? Will this combination be eligible for a $5 discount on the FiOS service?
So for $55 per month
5000/2000 FiOS and 500 Voicewing minutes |

Re: screw the discount
I completely agree. The lowest plan I can get with VZ is $18 landline (with taxes) + $35 (with tax) + voip. So far I don't see a discounts. It's good for FIOS.

| Read the fine print...
For packages with unlimited calling, more than 5,000 minutes
a month is considered beyond normal residential use and may
be investigated, resulting in potential termination of service.
This is less than 3 hours per day. |

Competitively priced??? How is that? I pay $20.50 or so and I get TWO VoIP lines with VoicePulse, 1 line has unlimited regional calling(90% of my state), and a total of 400 LD minutes.

Vonage also has the $24.99 plan w/o tax unless you live in NJ. This is for unlimited calls anywhere in the United States and Canada. »www.vonage.com/products_premium.···romo_id=
Much better deal than the Verizon $19.95 500 minute plan. |

Re: $19.95 - No Marketing?
said by krebster  :Vonage is only $15 a month plus ~$1.50 taxes for 500 minutes. I have Vonage "Basic 500" service too; it rocks.
Now if VoiceWing's customer service is any better than Vonage's, it might actually be worth the extra $5 a month. |

| BroadVoice.com unlimited in-state $11.79/month
FWIW, for "unlimited" in-state, try:
»www.BroadVoice.com/
$11.79/month total (incl. current fees, taxes, ...)
And, of course, that "line" can be in (more or less?) any state you want it to be.
Dunno' if they have a hidden maximum, like this Verizon VoIP 5,000 minutes per month limit that's apparently in the fine print.

Re: LOL but i wonder....
Why because we have meter rate lifeline which come out to 2.53 plus 40.45 for DSL and then 15.00 for VoicePulse. So say the grand total is 58.00 to make it even. We now get all the major calling features at www.voicepulse.com, unlimited regional, and 200 long distance. Please raise you hand if you would get all that from a 60.00 Verizon POTS?

packet8 »www.packet8.com offers an unlimited package for 20$ so I guess verizon's service still isn't competitive.
