Yes, both SBC and MCI have unlimited long distance programs for approx $39/month. However, what you aren't factoring in is that Vonage includes the second line (phone number) as well.
To compare apples to apples you have to account for the base cost of your phone line from your local provider which is typically, $26/month, plus factor in the cost of all of the features that Vonage offers such as vmail, call waiting, CLID, etc and now you are most likely around $40 just for the line before you even begin to make calls.
So a fair comparision is $40 for your traditional phone number plus $40 for the unlimited programs from MCI and SBC ($80) compared to Vonage which is $39/month which includes the phone line, features, taxes and unlimited long distance. -- Info Network Security:»www.packetdefense.com |
