NetZero Voice

Netzero offers a very basic pc to phone voip service called NetZero Voice. The service lacks many of the features offered by its rivals, including videoconferencing and avatars, but in terms of call quality, NetZero Voice is one of the very best.

It also offers free PC-to-PC calls, voicemail, instant messaging, and an e-mail account with 1GB of storage.

So if you value the basic call quality of your voip service over the frills, NetZero Voice is an excellent choice.

NetZero Voice comes in three flavors.

The free version provides no-cost, pc-to-pc calling between NetZero Voice users. This is similar to Skype or Yahoo messenger with voice.

There are also two monthly plans. NetZero Voice 100 gives you 100 PC-to-Phone minutes in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico & costs $3.95 per month.

The pricier version, NetZero Voice Unlimited, at $14.95 per month gets you unlimited pc-to-phone calls to the US, Canada & PR.

Cnet's editorial review had this to say about NetZero voice. "Hands down, NetZero Voice offers some of the best call quality we've experienced recently in a VoIP service. In our anecdotal tests of PC-to-PC calls, connections for both parties sounded superb, with none of the typical VoIP problems, such as latency, chop, and distortion."

NetZero also offers internet services in different flavours called NetZero Platinum, NetZero 3G and Free NetZero. Reviews of these services are available at http://www.dsldealsreview.org.

It is a good move and will help all expats make calls to their home countries. Hope the internet cafes can get this service so that they will not opt for any illegal VOIPs in future.I just want to inform everyone to a new web site called VoIP Spear (www.voipspear.com) to measure your QoS.
