Lingo Review

I had a few extenuating circumstances that caused me to mark Lingo down slightly in a few areas (mainly, I was moving frequently when I first subscribed to the service, and though they were able to accommodate me quickly, there was no seem less mechanism to deal with my situation; maybe I expect too much).

19.95 to Western Europe!!!! Sound is good, goes down every so often, but not enough to be a problem. We love it!

Excellent sound quality. It's been a very good experience. The unlimited calls to western europe is an amazing feature. Highly recommended but remember that if your broadband goes down, so does your phone....

I enjoy my Lingo service. My primary reason for switching to VOIP was cost. My fianc?e?s best friend lives in Germany and with a traditional phone line at $32 plus a month plus international charges it was getting to the point my paycheck was going primarily to the phone bill. With Lingo it is Unlimited long Distance to all of the USA, Canada, and Western Europe.

I am happy with my service with LINGO. I transferred my number from PACKET8 to LINGO and I saving almost $20 dollars a month with the unlimited calling to USA, CANADA and Western Europe. I was paying $49.99 with PACKET8 and now good bye packet8. Also not only me is using the service, all my family is using the LINGO service to call to Western Europe. Great features and Great value for the money.

Lingo has been rock solid and delivers great features and value. I started out with Packet8 and it was like a cheap broken toy compared to Lingo. I don't even notice I use VoIP.

A good price is one thing, but having a system that drops dial tone once a week is not something I want to keep. To fix it, I have to power cycle the Lingo router and within a couple of minutes, service is restored. There is no DSL outage that causes the dropped Lingo service, just a poorly designed VOIP box.

Lingo is inexpensive but after 2 months I am ready to pay more for a better service. Call quality is inconsistent. Some calls are so loud that I have to turn down the phone volume, other calls are barely audible, call quality is generally bad.  The system goes down daily and more than once. I have had to reset the router at least twice daily for the last several days. It would have been a great service if it delivered as promised.

They lie, they told me if I have a number in another country and I call and they call me will be free both ways, but they lie, 3 month later they charge for every call, bad service, really bad tech support, I'm computer tech, and I don't recommend that liars.

Being a Network admin for a large network, I'm cautious of these things with stability being a key evaluating factor.  After a friend had Lingo for about three months following a bad Vonage experience, I took the leap, but opted for the Phone adapter vs. the router and used my own Netgear router for the cable connection.  I am currently running my monitored home alarm system through Lingo - did a lot of testing on that one before I let the landline go - and am experiencing no problems. NO downtime in over 5 weeks and the voice quality is better than Bellsouth Landlines. Only wishlist I have for lingo is a safe forward number similar to ATT Callvantage and a "Find Me" feature similar to Callvantage.  All in all, I'm pleased and that's not easily done.  REVIEWER RECOMMENDS: 1. Use the Phone adapter instead of the router, folks I know that have the routers have more downtime  2. set call quality feature online to high quality if you have the bandwidth for the 90k, Regular is ok but the codecs used for high quality are superb.  3. If you don't have a home alarm system, just disconnect the phone company connection at your demark box (the point where the phone company lines join your house) and use a standard phone line cord to plug the phone jack of your Lingo adapter into a phone jack in your house. - all your phones will come live on Lingo  or   4.  If using a monitored Home Alarm system, simply pull a line from your phone adapter to the phone company demark box, and tap the house wiring on the red and green wires (those are the hot ones for line 1 by the way).
