Net2Phone, the VoIP pioneer, is lowering prices on VoiceLine, its
flagship residential broadband phone service. Now for a flat rate
of just $19 a month, VoiceLine provides consumers with unlimited
local and long distance calling within the U.S., Canada and Puerto
Rico, plus caller ID, call waiting, voicemail and other popular
calling features. Consumers who make international calls can add
unlimited calling to more than 60 countries for an additional $15 a
month with VoiceLine�s Unlimited World option. Major destinations
included in this feature are: Argentina, Brazil, China, Japan,
Ireland, Italy, Peru, Spain and the United Kingdom. Net2Phone is
waiving all activation, equipment and shipping charges to save
consumers from having to pay any up-front fees. Many other VoIP
providers charge initial activation and shipping fees of $30 to
$45. �In these tough economic times, consumers can find significant
savings by switching to broadband phone service, or VoIP. Our $19
plan compares to a $55 to $65 a month comparable calling plan
offered by AT&T and Verizon,� said Liore Alroy, the new CEO of
IDT Telecom. �That�s nearly a tank of gas a month in real savings.�
Consumers looking to save with VoiceLine can request that Net2Phone
transfer their current phone number to VoiceLine at no additional
charge. Net2Phone has been providing reliable VoIP calling services
since 1996. Net2Phone is a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (NYSE:
