Net2Phone: The Industry Standard

by navinthebean , Aug 27 '01
Pros: Available the world over; Call & billing history.
Cons: Advertisements; Lots of errors on website.
I first began using Internet telephony - that is, the PC-to-Phone or PC-to-PC system - back in 1998, with Net2Phone. It was a still paid service then, and when similar FREE services like Dialpad were launched, I naturally flocked to them instead. When...

Free??, not in the 21 century!!!

by stse , Apr 08 '02
Pros: If you have a clear connection, and if you credit card gives you cash back
Cons: Free lunch is getting less and less.
Before Net2phone, there was a dialpad, dialtree, and all other free pc to phone, pc to pc software.

It's pretty neat that you can call someone by using a pc, and the other party just received a call from original phone.

Software...

Like Talking in a Tunnel or Cave

by JMB623 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 19 '99
Pros: cool interface, easy to install, configure, and use
Cons: Echo/delay seriously degrades ability to carry on a conversation, and, it costs money for such poor sound quality
Net2Phone is a free program, but using it is not free. If you are not using it to call "800" numbers, you need to sign up, register, get a code, and leave money with them by credit card. The rates are generally lower than the Bell monopolies,...

Hello....hello....hello.....

by mom2ericha , Jul 30 '00
Pros: free phone calls
Cons: echoes, hollow sounding, poor transmition
I've used Net2Phone for about two weeks now, making calls to my mother, who is long distance/zone. I haven't downloaded anything, but there is a download available. I have accessed it through the 3rd version of the MSN Messenger, which has this feature,...

Getting better: Now it's free

by fozner , Mar 22 '00
Pros: looks, getting better, now it's free
Cons: sound quality, spotty connections on slow modems
I have written a complete article about how I use net2phone for free and it's published on my homepage. Please visit that site if you want to know how it's done (Note to Internet Police: It's perfectly legal and not a 'hack' or 'scam'). The following...

Hello, hello, hello?

by hbj200 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 21 '00
Pros: Free, easy to use, stable
Cons: Inconsistent voice quality, annoying to your callee, cannot call oversea numbers
Net2Phone has been around for a long time, although it's not free when you download it from Net2Phone's website. I've been using the free version bundled with MSN Messenger (http://messenger.msn.com), and I have not been impressed.

FREE PHONE CALLS... Yes FREE!!!

It's always nice to save money.
If you run a business you know that even a few dollars a day can affect your bottom line.

When I first heard of Net2Phone, I made a mental note to try it when I got a chance.

Needless to...

Internet Telephony Soon to End

by fisps , May 02 '01
Pros: Free Phone calls in the US.
Cons: 5 minute limit, and registration is required.
Net2Phone's free phone calling service was first was established in 1999. Net2Phone started its service when free Internet telephony was still "hot" on the Internet. They opened, a little after Dialpad (the world's first free Internet telephony service)...

Net2Phone: Free but Frustrating

by jeremy1456 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 15 '01
Pros: Great Idea, and It's FREE...
Cons: Delay/Echo Can Mess up Conversations...
Earlier this year I first heard about a few programs that you can use to make free calls to anywhere in the US, so naturally I got excited. The first program that I used for this feature was Yahoo Messenger, it was pretty bad most of the time, there was...

Best alternative for now, but wait for IP phone

by asarfatti , Jun 13 '00
Pros: Better voice quality than most other PC-based telephony providers, no need to renew calls
Cons: One cent per minute (though worth it)
I should start by stating that Net2Phone has very poor customer service, a quite common complaint that seems to be falling on deaf ears. I find this lack of customer consideration odd in light of AT&T's recent $1.4 Billion investment in Net2Phone....

It's Free so what did you expect?

by cok , Oct 19 '00
Pros: FREE, allows use of the phone while surfing, easy installation, good debugging wizard
Cons: Unpredictable hangs, connections and wildly variable voice quality
My family is all long distance so when I heard about free phone calls I decided to jump at the chance. The first problem to solve was obtaining the software. I had a friend that had downloaded Yahoo Messenger and said that it worked. I had him email...

Calling Card is the Real Deal

by roxsax , Nov 23 '00
Pros: really truly is a cheap calling card
Cons: seems like a lot of numbers to dial sometimes, but it would be with any calling card, I suppose
I looked up Net2Phone here because I couldn't wait to endorse it after using it for about 3 months now. I have to say that I only know about the calling card service first-hand but it is relatively gimmick-free!

I registered through a...

Affiliate Program...

by netmaster , Dec 25 '99
Pros: Easy to use interface.
Cons: Where's the money?
Although this has nothing to do with the product in general, I want to tell you about the Affiliate Program that Net2Phone sponsors.

A month or two ago I signed up for the Net2Phone Affiliate Program which claims that you will make money for...

Net2Phone unprepared for customers

by evollmer , Jun 11 '00
Pros: Easy Installation
Cons: Must use between 3AM and 5AM for reliable call
I had been speaking with my mother for about 3 minutes when her voice just disappeared from my headphones. This was not the first time I had experienced difficulty with Net2Phone's communication backbone. Anyway redialed and what I got in return was a...

Great product but....

by dom0552 , Nov 12 '01
Pros: Cheap, easy to use
Cons: Very bad support (technical helpdesk and commercial helpdesk)
I started using Net2Phone a few month ago, with their standard software. At first the quality of communication was not so good, but it improved tremendously over the following months, up to the very good quality it has now.
Sometimes connections...
