i2 Telecom VoiceStick Portable USB VoIP Internet Phone with Headset Reviews
I bought this for frequent calls to Uganda, where we work with a school for orphans. when I switched to Voice stick, our school's administrator commented on how clear the connection was. Obviously, we want to spend as little as possible - but communication is vital. The best thing is. also, I use a Mac and have had no problems with the downloaded softphone - I don't use the "stick" itself because with the softphone I don't have to. a 10 minute call to a mobile phone there is only about a dollar.
- Other cool services such as global call forwarding, free calling to other voicestick subscribers, voicemail, speed dial, caller ID, call logs, do not disturb, and conferencing. - Incoming calls are free. - You get a phone number in US for free (skype charges a fee). - Occasional communication problems associated with voice delays, call drops, sound quality, etc.
COOL and very useful. - Pinless access from a registered number. - Best rates to most of my preferred international destinations, lower than Skype, Yahoo M, Stunt, and local "cheap" phone cards. - Very easy to use software. I got it from Voicestick when I created my prepaid account.
It had enough space to load my portable Skype version so I have both services in a single USB stick. The USB device is slim and includes a nice headset. - If you don't like contracts you can open a prepaid account with $0.00. However, I have to confess that I use the service most of the time from my cell phone rather than from the computer. - Can use the service with regular phones, you don't even need a computer (they sell the SIP adaptor required).
- Charges national long distance, I better use my cell phone or Skype. - The stick rapidly overheats, however it works well, I don't know if that is normal. You can call international from your cell phone. Cons. Pros.
Calling Globaly on a cell phone means never having money left over to eat. What a deal No more sky high long distance rates. So when I call the UK or Italy, or even my one friend in China I just use my cell to call to my voice stick number and then I get a new dial tone. PLus I can use my computer to call out on. Go to voicestick.com and sign up for the $25 a month Global unlimited minute plan, then put YOUR cell number in the bridge.
I never had to use customer service, and the mic and earphone was compatable with my laptop and my cell phone. I used it a lot. I bought 4 for myself and used them to talk to my family. Because they all subscribed, it was FREE. I can't answer for some of the problems above, but I will Say This Device was very Used by fellow Soldiers. Using My Laptop at an MCI Center in Kutait, I Paid 99 cents a month and 2-3 cents per min, I Prepaid so I didn't Have any Problems with Billing, I used a Quality Computer and Quality Connection so I had no problems. Setup was kind of Slow but after that easy to use.
I have to redial. Other times it drops the line for good. MANY times when my friends pick up the phone and they can not hear me.
99 cents/month + low minute (couple of cents a minute to Europe)charges. I use Voicestick from my cell phone to call across the Atlantic. The line (almost every time I talk) go deaf on one end for a few seconds.
I only rated it 3 stars because it is cheap. What do you expect.well, they aspire to become the best voip service. Some days I can talk an hour or more with no problem.
They have a long way to go.
