Lingo beat all others in cost
on U.S. and international calls, and was recognized
for its high quality of service, easy-to-use online
account manager and quick tech support.
McLean, VA – October 30, 2007 – When
Wired magazine tested and
compared eight VoIP services for their Winter 2008 Test
issue, Lingo (www.lingo.com), a subsidiary of Primus
Telecommunications Group, Incorporated, emerged as "Editors'
Pick" for its cost, features and
quality. Lingo was tested and compared with Packet8,
AT&T, Comcast, SIPphone, Skype, Verizon, and Vonage
– and beat them all.
"We are delighted to be chosen as 'Editors' Pick'
among VoIP service providers by a respected magazine
such as Wired," said Srinath Narayan, Vice President
of Consumer Markets for Lingo. "Their selection of Lingo
validates what we always knew we offered – a product
with a wide range of features, high quality, and a very
attractive price."
Highest quality at the lowest cost
Lingo provides customers with superb sound quality at
the most affordable prices. The popular "Chatter Box"
plan provides unlimited calling within the U.S. and
to 22 other countries. It also includes the most requested
calling features, such as Voicemail, Call Waiting, Call
Forwarding, Return Call, Caller ID with name, 411 and
911 dialing, and more, all for just $21.95 per month
with the 1st, 12th and 18th months free. Users can manage
their accounts through what Wired editors describe as
a "tidy online account manager." A unique offering from
Lingo is its optional mobile service called "Unwired"
which the Wired editors confirm "lets you save big bucks
when making international calls on your cell phone."
"Make the Switch" Promotion
For VoIP users who currently have a VoIP service other
than Lingo, the "Make the Switch" promotion gives them
free equipment, free shipping, and free activation when
