$79 purchase + $24.99 per month = Unlimited Long Distance in US and Canada (through and WiFi Hot Spots)

I think you can call anywhere in the US and even Cell phones. (Unlimited)
Call 6 countries in Europe including England except Cell Phones and Toll Free. (also Unlimited)

Has anyone used this WiFi Phone?
It is my understanding that you only need this phone and a WiFi Hot Spot to use the service. No speical VoIP router needed for use with this product.

I already know that Vonage, Skype, and Lingo are all good deals in saving money on long distance calls by leveraging Voice over IP technology.

What are your thoughts? Especially about the WiFi Phones.

Thanks,

I have/had Skype and it's really good. The voice quality is great too. But I don't use the actual phones for Skype, I just use my headset, but if I wasn't getting such a good deal on my phone/cable/internet all from one company, I would have stayed with Skype. I still have it, but it's the free version only till the end of the year. Personally though between Skype and Vonage, I'm not too sure between the two since Vonage isn't in my books. But I can tell you that I recommend Skype, but not sure about it when compared to Vonage.
