Packet 8 customers can make unlimited phone calls to the US and Canada if they buy the monthly plan that costs $19.95.Even the videophone customers of Packet 8 can make unlimited calls to the US and Canada for $19.95 per month. This is a great facility, and gives Packet 8 a huge price advantage over other VoIP phone service companies.
Packet 8 provides its customers a free broadband phone service adapter when they subscribe to its monthly plan. The videophone subscribers are provided a standalone videophone at a discounted rate.
The subscribers also have the option to retain their traditional landline number or opt for a new phone number. The new number can even be from an area code where the subscriber does not live.
The Packet 8 services are rated very high by its customers. Most of them find it as good as conventional landline phones. However, a few of them had a bad experience when their broadband connections were giving them trouble.
Packet 8 also works with third parties to resell its service to small businesses. A great feature of Packet 8 is that it allows unlimited calling from one Packet 8 phone to another, irrespective of its location.
There are also no extra charges for features like voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, or long-distance calls to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. However, international calls to non-Packet 8 numbers are charged.
