Ever since I heard about Voip, I wanted to try it out. I liked the idea that I could make phone calls over my internet. If you have no idea what Voip stands for, it means Voice over Internet protocol. It utilizes the internet to send and receive calls and faxes over networks. I found it to be interesting so I researched Lingo Voice over the Internet, bought it and took time to experience it myself.
Lingo is a calling service that allows you to make local and long distance phone calls which is provided by Primus Telecommunications Group. The focus of Lingo is to provide cost-effective, quality and reliable outbound and inbound phone calls. These warranted features became apart of my expectations when it came to Lingo Voice over Internet Service. In some areas I was disappointed and in others I wasn’t.
The one thing I liked about Lingo voice over Internet Service was that it was just like my regular telephone service. It offered some of the same features if not more. So i really didn’t feel out of place when it came to switching over. I thought I was going to feel like I was in some type of space age moment when I started using Lingo Voice over Internet. That wasn’t the case, i was able to use my regular telephone with Lingo Voice over Internet service as long as it was connected to the Lingo phone adaptor that was provided for me.
Saving money is definitely something you can do while using Lingo voice over Internet Service. Compared to regular phone service, most of the prices are slashed.

With my Lingo voice over Internet Service, I get so many different features. I get free voicemail (which I think should be free without stating).

There are a few things I really hate about Lingo Voice Over Internet Service which is the fact that emergency calling through Lingo Voice Over Internet Service is much more difficult than just calling 911. You will be directed to a public safety answering point where you will have to explain your emergency as well as your location and telephone number.
