Well, that’s a very good question. Here we have compiled a list many different situations and the phone services that will be suitable for each with a little humor.

1. I am always on the Phone making calls

Any plans on cutting back.. if not, you need a phone service with unlimited calls in the US/Canada. Most voip phone service offer unlimited calling plans. We like PhonePower, see why?

2. I travel a Lot

Watch your diet, those calories add up fast. And choose a phone service that offers a soft phone service which can travel with your PC. PhonePower offers a FREE soft phone service. So you can take your phone with you, and your family will still have the regular phone at home.

MajicJack is another option. Though it doesn’t have a softphone option, the jack is tiny enough to travel with you hassle free. It won’t require an extra seat on the plane.

Another option is SkypeOut. With skype Out you get to make unlimited calls in the US/Canada for as little as $2.99/month.

3. I hardly make any calls

Why no friends . Opt for a limited minutes phone plan like JoiPhone ($6.95/mo for 100 free minutes), Vonage Lite ($9.99/mo for 200 free minutes) or JoiPhone. You can receive unlimited calls. And you will get some free outgoing minutes for the occasional calls that you will need to make.

Lucky you. Go with PhonePower. You get unlimited calling in US, Canada, free incoming fax, outgoing fax (if you have a fax machine), free 2nd cloned line, free soft phone.

PhonePower has slightly changed the residential plan it offers.

It has done away with all its monthly and yearly limited calling plans and expanded on its unlimited monthly plans.

The monthly unlimited plans PhonePower now offers has three price points, basically the same plan with different term contracts. The cheapest price point is $14.95 per month with a 2 year term. Then a slightly higher price point is $16.95/mo with a 1 year term and then $19.95/mo with terms. All the three plans offer the same exact service, like unlimited local and long distance calling, no set up fee when ordered online and a Free 2nd cloned line, just the price varies depending on the contract term length.

Contract plans come with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, within which if you cancel, there will be no penalty of cancellation. After the 30 day period, there will be a $99 cancellation fee or the remainder of your contract amount, whichever is less.
