In what has to be a true communications issue, only 23 percent of Canadiens admit to knowing about VoIP according to a newly released survey. What this means is that while the technical issues surrounding Voice over IP have been for the most part solved, the issues surrounding how you inform, educate, advise and deploy … Read more
You can check out someone’s review of VoicePulse. The service sounds very feature rich and loaded with options.
DUH! You’d have to be an idiot to not see the price war for VoIP looming. Minutes have been marginalized, now it’s all about services, baby.

Primus has launched Lingo in the USA with a $19.99 service plan that includes calls to Canada and Western Europe. What about Mexico? One would think with the amount of families in the boarder states (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) that there is a market. Don’t forget, they are huge calling card/prepaid users.
