Net2Phone $19.95 deal?

Julie mentioned in her comment last week a good deal from Net2phone: 3 free months and $19.95/month afterwards (assuming to unlimited US/Canada plan). Normally, I would rule Net2Phone out as a strong competitor to iTalkBB since its regular price is way above market average -- $29.99/month for an unlimited US/Canada plan and $35-$45/month if you add any international options, with tax and fees as extra. It charges a $29.99 activation fee and a $39.99 early termination fee (before 12 service months). Moreover, it does not provide any special attractive feature such as the free China DID number offered by iTalkBB, or the video phone feature from packet8. The aforementioned special offer from Net2phone is much better than its regular rate, however, it is still not very attractive compared to the $299/14 months (tax and fees included) iTalkBB's global unlimited plan, which includes free international calls to 20+ countries, dual phone numbers, 200 free iTalkFreedom minutes and online (Chinese) video on demand service through partner sites. I would pick iTalkBB over Net2phone.

If sign up this week, the iTalkBB promotion mentioned here still works.
