Packet8 Internet Phone Service
Video Phone Plan
Imagine calling your long distance son, daughter, parents, grandparents
or friends and actually seeing them while you talk.
This is the sort of thing that used to happen only on TV or in science
fiction movies, but it's a reality today! If you have a broadband
internet connection and want to experience a real time conversation where
you can not only talk with loved ones, but see each other as well -
Packet8 Video Phone Plan is for you.
Packet8 is thus far one of two residential internet phone service
provider that offers video calling, and they have created a state of the
art system that provides seamless integration of voice and video.
Vonage
also offers videophone service. Talk to any Packet8 videophone
subscribers for free, as long as you want, anywhere in the world for only
$19.99 per month.
With the Packet8 videophone plan, choose either the Freedom National
plan which includes unlimited local and long distance calling within the
United States and Canada for $19.99/mo., or the Freedom International
plan, which includes the USA and Canada calling as well as unlimited
international calling to around 40 other countries/cities for $49.99/mo.
You can make regular "non-video" calls to people who have regular
telephones, or make Video Phone Calls to other Packet8 Video Phone
subscribers.
In order to make video phone calls, the party you are calling must have
a Packet8 video phone service (and a video phone) as well.
Because calls between Packet8 subscribers are free anywhere in the world,
the only real investment in video phone technology is in the hardware
itself. Video phones are not cheap, and typically run close to $300
each. This might sound like a lot of money but when you consider the
price of airline tickets these days (to visit in "real time" with loved
ones), videophone is a very economical alternative to travel.
Packet8 Videophone Review
PCMag recently gave Packet8 videophone an excellent review and a "very
good" rating. They say that cable internet service (or better) is
best for voice and video over the internet, and that DSL may not offer
enough bandwidth. Since most residential VoIP subscribers use a
cable internet connection and have disconnected their telephone line
(required for DSL), this is not an issue for the majority of residential
VoIP subscribers. People using VoIP over satellite internet may have
trouble with video phone service because of the high degree of latency
with this type of internet connection. For video calling over
internet phone, cable or T-1 broadband service is best.
For International Video Phone Use
Since the only way to make video phone calls is for both parties to
have a video phone as well as Packet8 VoIP service, and calls between
Packet8 subscribers are always free, if you have loved ones in other
countries that you want to talk with via video phone - they can get
Packet8 Freedom National plan (with broadband phone, even users in other
countries can have a U.S. phone number) and you can video-talk as long as
you want for a flat fee of $19.95 per month.
