Lingo is one of the most affordable Internet
phone services. (Also known as "VoIP," or Voice over
IP service.). Lingo offers unlimited local
and long distance calls anywhere in the U.S. and to
over 20 countries, plus over 20 calling features – all
for only $21.95 per month. Lingo has quickly emerged
as a top Internet phone service in a market projected
to grow to 16.5 million U.S. consumers by 2008 (Frost
& Sullivan).
To place and receive calls, customers only need a broadband
Internet connection, a regular phone, and a Telephone
Adapter --also called a “Lingo Box”-- which is provided
for free when the customer subscribes. Lingo users save
up to 50 percent over what traditional phone companies
charge U.S. consumers for local and long distance calling
services.
With more domestic and international coverage than
any of the major Internet phone providers in the U.S.
today, Lingo consumer and small business subscribers
can select U.S. phone numbers from over 300 major markets,
and international phone numbers from cities in 14 countries.
