OneSuite

Have you ever thought about VOIP for your long distance calls? The one I use for all my international calls is OneSuite.There rates are very reasonable and start at 1.8 cents per minute but varies from country to country. You can use your regular phone to make calls using their local access number or if there is no local access number in your area there is a toll free number you can use for just a few cents more per minute. There is also a soft phone you can download from OneSuite for free and use your computer and broadband internet connection to make your calls with a microphone and head phones. I have been using OneSuite for over a year and never had an issue with a dropped call or any type of voice distortion. There quality is excellent!

I use Onesuite for all my long distance calls for years now. They got great rates yes and 24/7 phone support but the what I like most about their feature is the online access to my account. I can check and see all my calls (phone numbers, rates, duration, etc) online without having to give them a call which I prefer because I am online most of my waking hours.

Another Onesuite user here. I use it mainly for voip calls because I already dropped my landline to save on monthly phone bills. Now I only pay $2.95 plus around $5 monthly for all of my calls. I think I’m saving around $20 to $30 compared when I still use traditional landline.

I have used Onesuite for long distance for quite a while. Recently, the company added a new policy that account expires every 6 months. The policy is okay, but the way they deal with the transition is horrible. I was never notified, and suddenly today when I tried to make the call, they said my account has expired.
Talking to the customer service was disappointing. They told me that it was good for me that they made my account expired – how can any reasonable person make such a statement?! If the company is any good, they would at least grandfather all previous customer from this rule, and apply the new rule fully only after the transition period is over. All I can conclude right now is that the company has poor management. This would be a company that I would never invest, nor would I ever be their customer again.
I recommend that no one should become their customer, because they can easily change their policy one night and say that every account expire after 24 hours – your money simply will be gone without ever being notified. This company cannot be trusted.

Ray, Are you talking about like if you don’t use up the minutes you bought it expires? Or is there something new I am not aware of?
