Vonage ready to lower price (to comparable to iTalkBB)

The leading voip provider in the United States, Vonage, is planning to roll out a new service plan, costing $14.99+tax & fees/mo with unlimited domestic calls. This has not gone public yet, but if you are a current Vonage subscriber, you can still get it by


(1) calling customer service # 866-243-4357
(2) following the prompt to account management, and
(3) mentioning that you want to cancel service but would stay for a $14.99 plan (since others are getting it)


Many people had successfully switched to the $14.99 plan on the first shoot. So good luck trying.

It is great to see that Vonage has to lower the price due to competitions from companies like iTalkBB. The $14.99 plan comes with one year service contract. With tax & fees, it comes to around $19.xx per month, in comparison to iTalkBB's counterpart, $19.99/month (tax/fees included) residential unlimited plan. Or with $2 more, you can get the $299/14-months (averaging $21.36/month) global unlimited plan from iTalkBB, in which you get unlimited international calls to 20+ countries. Furthermore, Vonage does not have any of the advance features that iTalkBB offers. For example, in iTalkBB you get one local US number and a free China number so that people in China won't pay long distance charge to reach you. There isn't such thing in Vonage.


Final words: while you are considering switching to the $14.99 Vonage plan, you may also want to take a look at iTalkBB. You can use iTalkBB promotion code 953110 to get $10 off at sign up (here), or read more discussions, reviews and comparison in this blog.
