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.

	PhonePower	Vonage
Cost/Month	$8.30/mo ($199/1 Year plus 1 Year Free)	$24.99
2nd Cloned Line	Included Free, its like having two Phone lines	None
Call Quality	Excellent	Excellent
International Calls	60 Free Minutes/Mo	Free
Total	$18.30	$24.99

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.
