VIA Talk Review
ViaTalk provides users with a functional and easy to use digital telephone service, which can provide you with a low cost way to manage calls from your home or office. ViaTalk provide a number of affordable price plans, including the VT 500 Plan which offers you with 500 anytime minutes for calls in the USA and Canada from as little as $9.95 per month (you must have broadband cable modem or DSL access to use this service). If you use your telephone service a lot then one of the unlimited ViaTalk plans can save you a lot of money as well, as for just $189 per year (this includes the second year free) you can sign up to the VT Unlimited Plan, which provides you with a dual line phone with unlimited talk time to the USA and Canada (over cable or DSL broadband).
Save on International Calls
If you regularly phone international numbers then you can make some great savings with ViaTalk’s digital talk plans, as international call tariffs are much cheaper than with other telephone service. For example you can call landlines in Australia for just $0.05 per minute and cell phones in the same country for just $0.20, which is much cheaper than many other services which can charge around $2 per minute for calls from US to Australian landlines.
