5.0 out of 5 stars I can talk to my parents now!, November 6, 2005

By	Amit Patel (Ahmedabad, India) - See all my reviews

I am a student from outside the US and I study here. For a long time I've had to pay a lot of money for my international calls in order to be in contact with my parents. Then they purchased this starter kit and along with it they purchased a US based phone number (with the same area code as where I'm staying!). The shipment (international) was for free and so was the first month, so we can try this thing out. it's really cool the way it works. I call them from my home phone at the price of a local call, and they pick up the phone at my home country! if they want to call me, they do it for a very low rate (we bought a plan that gives you a phone number and 800 minutes a month to the US for $15 total). to sum it up, i'm really happy with this service. the quality is good and i can talk to my parents whenever i want to, without thinking of the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars best deal, August 15, 2005

By	Tricia Eiger (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews

Compared to Vonage and Lingo, the adapter is the same and the price plans are nearly the same. I'm in the uS, but the service has had no problems so far and makes me realize this broadband phone stuff is the same as any other phone. Except as they say, cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Communication, November 6, 2005

By	Bug Man (Israel) - See all my reviews

I am a student trying to keep costs as low as possible. With the iConnectHere phone service I am able to do this. At home I have the service set up instead of the regular landline, which , here in Israel is extremely expensive. At my lab, if I need to make an overseas call, I use the PCPhone software which is user-friendly and also cuts costs.
When setting up the Linksys I needed assistance from the Customer Care who were friendly and efficient, their chat service is very helpful and they waited on-line until my network was fully configured and I could use the service. Other than this configuration, it has been easy to use and any information I need is on their Member Center.
I recommend using this service.
