Voice over IP: Its Time Has Come
WinXPnews has a great article linked above on VOIP, and specifically the Lingo service. While the head Geek and I use Skype, there are other pay services that offer a lot of services and features not offered by Skype. Services such as Lingo, Vonage and Packet8 have gotten inexpensive and easy to set up. Here’s some of what the review had to say about the Lingo service.
We’re not “phone people.” We avoid the phone as much as possible, preferring to communicate via e-mail whenever possible. But this new VoIP toy has us actually wanting to use the phone. If we didn’t need two lines, we would probably drop the landline. As is, we’ll drop the expensive additional services on it and use it as a second line when we both need to make calls at the same time and for the security service and FAX machine.
