ViaTalk Reviews
ViaTalk is a company that has its roots in web hosting but it is making a strong mark in broadband phone service. A fast growing company with a technical heritage and customer support that is based in the USA, ViaTalk is a solid choice.
Currently, the most attractive plan from ViaTalk is the annual prepay of $199.95 with unlimited calling in the USA and Canada. They are offering an additional year free making the effective rate $8.33 per month for 2 years. You also get 1 free cloned phone line which allows 2 outgoing calls at the same time by different members of your household but uses only 1 shared phone number. ViaTalk offers a free lease for the required phone adapter but there is a $29.95 activation fee and a $10.95 shipping and handling fee. You have a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy for any reason. However, the activation fee and shipping and handling are not refunded.
If you prefer plans with no commitment, they do offer a plan for $22.95 per month. It also has unlimited calling in the USA and Canada. Again, there is a $29.95 activation fee and a $10.95 shipping and handling fee.
As far as international rates, we found the rates to be competitive but not the lowest for the countries we tested. However, we found their rate to call India to be excellent but many European countries were not as aggressive as many of the other providers.
Overall, ViaTalk is a very solid choice and should be among your list of choices when shopping for phone service.
