If it were not for the 2 yr contract I would have taken it. There is a disconnect fee of $90 if you cancel before 2 years. There is no limitation based on my conversation with the rep on the # of minutes you spend every month. Anyone ok with the contract will find this deal awesome.

I don't consider this as a better deal than Vonage, since Vonage with 20% off comes down to $20 per month. But competition is good for consumers, will look forward for more deals.

In my opinion, if this is the same company, and I'm pretty sure it is, I bought stock in them a few years ago... it's worth nothing now... I hope they provide better phone service than shareholder service!!!

this company is horrible, i signed up once for the same plan, like three years ago, after 2 months they changed the terms on me without telling me, then i got a bill for around $600. Obviusly i didnt want to pay for it and then i went to collections... worst experience in my life.
I had Lingo service in the past, the company is very bad - check out reviews online before anyone signs up! They charge you additional money on your credit card and then it takes forever to get a refund. Their VOIP management website is like a decade old, not to mention I had many problems with the call quality as well.
The worst indeed. They will trick you as well, as much as they can to trap you into unnecessary charges. And as other have said, getting that money back is nearly impossible. I m surprised the Feds haven't locked these guys up yet.
forget the WAR you decide get an unlocked PAP2 and Bring Your Own Service/Devise (BYOD) (BTW the PAP2 works with 2 lines at once so so you can run one and test another
Voip is not that hard to set up and there is a LOT of help out here
the best way to start is with Google Voice (GV) and Gizmo5 (you need have another phone # with GV before you can add Gizmo to GV)
in my book some of the winners are
Gizmo5 Voxalot Future Nine (i actually have credit with them and the winner in my book)
