I would not order ViaTalk again!! I am sure that if you are in an area with several competing services ViaTalk is ok. However, I am in one of those areas that has some difficulty getting coverage (available in a nearby town). ViaTalk representatives gave me a 95% chance of porting my number (thus making the service usable). They never submitted the paperwork to port my number at first, waited until 31 days passed before they told me it could not port (money-back guarantee is only 30 days), then refused to give a full refund. Their customer service ALWAYS takes 1-3 days to reply by email. I have dealt with several companies online and this one has the WORST customer service I have seen. $199 for two years is a good deal, but sorry customer service isn't worth it!!

I've had the service for almost 3 months and it's been excellent. $200 for two years, you can't find a better deal anywhere. It was easy to set up and the calls are crystal clear. If you want to get the features and save big time then you should try them.

They have a great deal at $199, but BEWARE. This includes a 50% cancellation fee, which is $100 if the service doesn't meet expectations. They pretty much suck at customer service, with canned responses, etc. The service wasn't good for me, but could be related to my wireless. I don't have a problem with that, BUT, the guarantee thing is a fake, basically, no way you could get the equipment, test it, and return it within 14 days. I thought the 50% was off of the first month, not $100. No phone cancellation, you have to do it online. Make sure you know exactly what you're getting and how reliable it will be before you shell out $200. You won't get it back.

Setup and phone # transfer went smooth as silk. Transfer was faster than I expected. Connects 1 second slower than ordinary (Verizon) phone; and occasionally I need to hit the redial. Sound quality is only slightly worse -- and price and features are SO much better than ordinary phone service.

I have had 3 VoIP services and I have been please with all 3. I had lingo for one year then I went to Sunrocket on there 199.00 yearly plan and that plan was about to expire and I found ViaTalk on this web site. Ordered on a Monday and received adapter the following Monday. Very easy to set up. I did get a head start on setting up all the calling features since u have access to there web portal before you get adapter....so far call quality is as good as it can get....I love all the features that I can customize to my own liking. I can set the incoming caller id to display what ever I want it to display. I can set different ring tones for different number and so many other features. I did buy one year get one year free. I was paying 81.00 a month for land line before I started using VoIP and I have been very pleased with each of the services. I emailed ViaTalk support at 1am and I got a response in 15 minutes and I asked a follow up question and again got a response in 30 min.....Order ViaTalk and save cash.

Five days before our one year contract with Viatalk was up, my wife called to confirm that the account would not be automatically renewed and to get an address to send the phone adapter to--we were not real happy with the sound quality and customer service. A day later our phone service was out. They had cancelled our service immediately (four days early) and refused to reconnect without a $30 reconnect fee. My wife paid the fee because we were in the process of moving and needed access to important voice mails. They charged us the $30 but didn't reconnect. They have pretty good rates, but take a couple days to respond to emails, keep you on hold for 30 minutes when you try to call, and rip you off when you try to discontinue service. AVOID VIATALK.

I've just paid $200 for two full years of service!! I wasn't too sure what to expect for that price but it was an offer I could not refuse. The equipment arrived in a few days and it was so easy to set up. Sound quality is excellent, features are good certainly a lot better than my landline. I have not talked to customer service so I didn't want to give them a 5 star but if the product is anything to go by then their customer services should be good. I'm telling all my friend to at least try it particularly since the special is so good. Great site guys lots of good info. Becks

I had Vonage before Viatalk and I would have to say sound quality with Vonage was a bit better. But for 199 dollars for two years ??? wow.... plus some taxes .....this a deal I couldn't refuse. It is definitely a good deal and so far very good customer service. Only time will tell, how good this deal is........Will this company survive for two years? Will they have good service and good value for two years? I hope so!! Way to go Viatalk, keep a good thing going! Okay? Please .........
