New Vonage V-Plan 4i

Options
What do people think of this new plan from VOIP operator Vonage?

For £18.99 you get 2000 mins free calls to Indian (India, US, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong) mobiles/landlines and 35 other country's landlines.

Would you say this is over-priced and better waiting for other deals to come out?

    It's slightly less than 1p/minute - the price available on PSTN lines via the prefix and gateway providers to call USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and many European countries.

    OTOH, if it includes one of the more expensive destinations and that happens to be the one you want, then its worth increases.

    BTW, I am sure you realise it but the word 'free' in your post is advertising jargon (read 'pre-paid' instead).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    From what I can read it is unlimited calls not 2,000 mins unless I am missing something.

    You are missing their "fair use" policy which defines "unlimited" to mean 2000 minutes.
