8x8
Packet8 Broadband VoIP Service with Adapter 410 Packet8 is an affordable
and easy-to-use broadband telephone and videophone service. Designed with both
residential and business customers in mind, Packet8 allows anyone with broadband
(high-speed) Internet access to use their regular phone to make unlimited calls
to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for as little as $19.95 per month. Packet8
subscribers with videophones can make video calls for as little as $19.95 per
month. All Packet8 subscribers get world-wide unlimited calling to other Packet8
subscribers at no extra charge. Calls to non-Packet8 international numbers (outside
the U.S. and Canada) are charged at a very low per minute rate. By taking advantage
of a technology called VoIP (voice over internet protocol), high-speed Internet
connections and 8x8's expertise in designing videophones, Packet8 is the complete
voice and video communication service. Packet8 sends all calls to and from you
through the broadband phone service adapter or the videophone which then route
the calls over the Internet, instead of using the traditional public telephone
network. There are no extra numbers to dial, no special instructions and no
talking through your computer. Just pick up your phone, hear a dial tone and
dial any phone number. Incoming calls ring your phone the same as any traditional
phone. To sum it up: with Packet8 you make and receive calls as you always have,
but we route your calls more efficiently to save you money. Your phone call
will have the same quality and your calling experience will be identical to
what you have always had. Only your phone bill for local and long distance calling
will be a lot less. And there's NO EXTRA CHARGES for features like voicemail,
caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, or long-distance calls to anywhere
in the U.S., Canada or to other Packet8 subscribers worldwide. What do I
need? To start enjoying Packet8 broadband phone service, you need:
- A broadband Internet connection such as cable or DSL
- A home router that allows you to share your Internet connection with multiple
computers or Internet devices. (Many home routers cost as little as $30.00
and take just minutes to set up.)
- A Packet8 plan and some hardware (such as this broadband phone service adapter.)
