e-wisdom.com Expert Review

REVIEW - With this business VoIP plan offered by "Lingo" you will receive unlimited calling to U.S. (including Hawaii, Alaska, US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico), and Canada anytime. You are also given a FREE fax line including 500 outgoing minutes with no additional charge.

SERVICE AVAILABILITY - In accordance with the FCC ruling on E911 service provided by Internet phone service providers, as of 11/29/05 Lingo will only sign up new customers in areas that they provide E911 service.  They are working towards rolling out this service across the nation over the next few months; however, until then service will be limited to the following areas.  Baltimore, Boston/Eastern MA, DC includes part of VA & MA, Delaware Valley, Houston, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York Metro, North Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Western MA.  As new Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) become available, we will update our site.

KEEP YOUR NUMBER - Lingo offers local phone number portability so you can keep your existing home phone number(s), or choose from over 220 US area codes. You can also be issued an International based phone number for ten dollars extra, or a Canada based phone number for five dollars from Lingo.

LINGO PHONE ADAPTER - The included ATA device allows a regular corded or cordless phone to be plugged-in through the built in phone jack. You can also take your ATA device with you anywhere in the world and connect to any high-speed internet connection while using the same phone number.
