Vonage has recently introduced its Vonage World plan at $24.99/month which includes free unlimited calling in the US and Canada plus 60 other countries. The plan is definitely very competitive. But after doing some calculations we think PhonePower may still be a better option than Vonage. Let’s look at the comparison below.

For Callers Who Don’t need to make International Calls
PhonePower $8.30/mo Vs Vonages $24.99
If you don’t need to call international, PhonePower costs $8.30/mo (paid once annually) or $14.95/mo (if paid monthly) vs Vonage’s $24.99. Plus you get a 2nd cloned line for free.
For Callers Who need to make International Calls
*An average international caller who calls India (for our comparison here) spends around $5 to $8 month now a days on international calls using 3rd party calling card services. PhonePower (unlimited plans only) offers 60 minutes of free calls every month. Calling card service providers like Pingo offers 2.9 ¢/min India calling plan plus great deals like ($10 Free on sign up & half rates calls on Wednesdays which further bring down the effective rate to 1.9¢/minute) and pin less speed dialing.
For an average India Caller the cost with PhonePower & Pingo (for the India Calls) the total cost will be $8.30/mo ($199 Annual Plan with 2nd Yr Free) plus $10 (average India calls), total will be around $18.30 versus Vonage’s $24.99.
Plus PhonePower offers you a 2nd cloned line for free which Vonage doesn’t offer. A cloned line is like having a 2nd line. If you hook up two phones to PhonePower, you can make and receive separate calls form the two phone at the same time. Vonage doesn’t have this feature.
As the above comparison shows, by using PhonePower and Pingo an average India caller will save better than by using Vonage. And will enjoy the same benefits of excellent call quality, 2nd free cloned line, free 60 minutes of international calls every month, but will have to use a 3rd party calling card service.

RingCentral Offers two types of virtual pbx solutions, one called RingCentral Online, the other called RingCentral Office. Though both the plans cater to small businesses and SOHOs, the plans are different both feature wise and price wise.
RingCentral Online is a virtual pbx system which receives calls and directs them to your existing home, bussiness, cellular phone numbers. So for this service you pay a fee RingCentral for the virtual pbx system only. Then the cost for your home, business, cellular phone services are separate.
RingcentralOffice is a virtual pbx system bundled with a voip phone service with unlimited minutes. So obviously RingCentral Office costs more than RingCentral Online.
