Phone Power is one of the fastest growing VoIP companies in the country. We know why. Besides their very aggressive pricing, we found their customer support to be excellent and extremely responsive. We placed several calls to their customer service and the calls were answered quickly and courteously with USA based employees.
One of our favorite Phone Power offers is the monthly unlimited calling which is only $14.95 per month for 24 months. It offers unlimited inbound and outbound calls in the USA and Canada. One of the best parts of this offer is that there is no activation fee which we really like. All VoIP companies require an Internet phone adapter to use with your broadband Internet connection. Phone Power leases this to you for free, you only need to pay the shipping & handling of $14.95 to have it shipped to you. In addition, they offer a free "cloned" line which allows you and another member of your household to have 2 completely separate outgoing calls at the same time even though you will only have 1 phone number. For those who only want a month to month plan, you can receive a $19.95 per month plan with no commitment.
One of their plans is extremely attractive. They are currently offering an annual prepay plan for $199.95 for 1 year but they have a promotion offering an additional year for free. The effective rate is only $8.33 per month ($199.95 / 24 mos. = $8.33/mo) for unlimited calling in the USA & Canada. The annual prepay also includes an additional "free" cloned line. This annual prepay does not allow refunds for cancellations so that is a downside. An added benefit is that if you ever move to a different city in the USA, you just need to tell them so then can update the 911 records and you simply take your Phone Power service with you at no additional charge, provided you have access to high speed Internet service at your new location.
The international rates provided by Phone Power are extremely competitive. The key thing to remember is that many companies advertise a low international rate but that is often the rate to call a landline in that country. If you are calling a friend or loved one on their cell phone, you will often pay a higher per minute rate when you call them. We researched many popular countries and found Phone Power offers some of the strongest international rates to both landlines and cell phones. Rates to call India are 1.9 cents/min to landlines and 2 cents/min cell phones. The rates to the Philippines is only 11.5 cents/min to landlines and only 14.2 cents/min to cell phones. We researched many European countries and Phone Power has the best rates. You can see this for yourself by using our drop down menu for residential international rates. A strong feature of Phone Power is that there is no additional monthly fee to enjoy their lowest international rates. We really liked that about Phone Power. It makes calling overseas worry-free.
The company's founders have a very successful history providing excellent customer service with consumer technology companies. We are confident that you will enjoy their service and it is one of the main reasons that Phone Power comes with one of our highest recommendation for phone service.
