Yes, there really is yet another VOIP Provider getting into what cannot be a very profitable and obviously a crowded space. However, this one is interesting for a couple of reasons: 1) Hardware: A USB dongle attaches to your computer and the software (what we can assume to be the gateway/transcoder) is loaded. 2) Even though that software is loaded and can be used as a softphone, the USB dongle also has a regular Cat3 jack so you can plug in your phone or reverse-wire it into your house for all of your phone s(call us if you want this done!). 3) First-year hardware costs AND service together is $40 while the following years are $20. Folks that is PER YEAR - not month. Unfortunately, they do not yet have phone numbers for our up-and-coming home, but we'll be trying this as soon as they do! Note, there is not currently any way to get multiple lines or advanced features - its a home phone (though you can use it for business if you want by their own Terms of Service) and it looks like they aim to keep it that way, but with competitive pressures in this overstaturated space, who knows?
