I have set up a vonage device @ my home in India. I registered for the $24.99 plan with unlimited incoming/outgoing minutes however just learnt from my roomie (he also has a vonage device in India) that I have been literally wasting money for the past year. I just switched to the $4.99 plan (unlimited incoming and limited outgoing plan) and it serves the same purpose as the previous plan even though with the $4.99 plan they charge 3.9cents/outgoing minute. Here's why its the best:
- with the 24.99 plan after taxes I pay $32/month. With $4.99 plan after taxes I pay $8.16 which means a saving of $23.84/month
- Its a known fact that using Vonage when calling from India to US the voice quality is terrible and most often it gets disconnected or you purposely disconnect and call back to get a better quality, so really speaking there is no usage of the outgoing minutes. Now I use the outgoing call as a indication that I need to call India :-)
- With 3.9cents/minute you still get 50mins/$2 which will suffice in case you accidently answer the calls :-)
This is an unadvertised vonage service plan and you would'nt be able to find the info on the website. You would have to call the customer service to register for this plan (wonder why vonage has not advertised this plan hmmm.... yup!!! u guessed it right). Heed my advice and switch to this plan.
