I have been reading a lot on this board about long-distance service and
doing my own research by going to companies' websites. I have decided that I might give OneSuite a try. I just wanted to try one more time before jumping off the cliff. Has anyone here tried OneSuite and if you have what did you think? Annie |

I've been using OneSuite for a few years and it usually works fine.
Occasionally I can't get a connection, but very rarely. Customer 'service' is ok, but you've got to 'top off' your account every six months (I think) to keep the account active. I'm sure you know to use a local access number, if possible. I haven't found a cheaper long distance service, though I keep looking. |

The thing I like best is I can put my grand kids phone number in the system and they can call us at any time on our nickel (their mom and dad are going back to school so money is tight for them). Keeps grandma happy and if grandma ain't happy ain't nobody happy. |

No MLM unless you count the 20 min spiff which amounts to about 60 cents to both parties if a reference code is used. (see previous post for the link) No monthly charges. Aside from the metered rate there is a $0.55 set up charge for using a pay phone and that only applies to the initial connection. Once connected you can make as may calls as you like for the one set up charge so long as you don't break the initial connection. I don't know their business plan but from the end user's POV $0.029/ min is hard to match much less beat. If for example you still have air time on the account and have not added time in 6 months the system will go inactive but can be reactivated with a phone call. Ergo not really necessary to put in more money. Interesting aside we have cell phones with a goodly number based in the 504 exchange (new Orleans) and those were unable to make or receive calls as the MTSOs were under water. Ditto for phone company calling cards and even operateor assisted calls charge to any 504 phone. The ONLY thing that *did* work consistantly was the onesuite system via their 800 numbers. |

I used Onesuite for the last couple of years and actually canceled my long distance carrier with BellSouth. BellSouth finally offered me unlimited local and long distance for essentially what I was paying anyway, so I went back to them. I still have a Onesuite account and use it when I'm away from home. My father uses it (he's the one who got me started with them) and I also have an aunt in NYC who uses it. All with good results. I can count on two fingers the number of times I wasn't able to get through to the local access number the first time I tried. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

We used them for awhile. Some calls have great sound quality, some
sound like you are talking from the bottom of a metal garbage can, and some there is such a big delay that you invariably end up talking all over eachother and nothing makes sense. So far, we are using Power Net Global and happy with it. We just haven't found anything really good out there yet. chula |

Why do pre-paid when you get a regular long distance plan from someone like PowerNet Global, and only pay for what you actually use? Any why pay monthly charges and up front fees when other companies don't charge them? PowerNet is much more expensive than OneSuite, more than 2x the price per minute. OneSuite is definitely not a scam. There are no monthly charges. The only downside I've found with OneSuite is that I'm building up too many minutes because I can't use up $10 worth of minutes every six months, when each minute is only 1.9 cents. I use my cell phone, off-peak, for most LD calling. I like OneSuite because it is very convenient to use, with no need for a PIN, and speed dial numbers that you can program on-line. For most of my calls, I only have to press four keys to make a call (one key to dial the access number, then three keys for the speed dial (one of which is the # key at the end). I don't do referrals for OneSuite, and OneSuite doesn't do MLM. They give you some sort of credit for referrals, but it's not worth the trouble, IMO. |

Since they don't cite their rates, there is no way to comparison shop. They may be a good choice, but I'm not going to use any company that makes you call or send an email to get the cost of a call. Of course this gives them a chance to make a hard sell. No thanks, there are too many places that are afraid to cite there rates. BTW, OneSuite is a prepaid service, but has no add on fees of any type: no "monthly charges" nor "up front fees.". If you aren't going to make $10 worth of calls in 6 months I would agree that OneSuite is not a good choice. If you make $30 to $50 of calls in a month, it makes little difference if they are paid for this month or next. It is interesting that you accuse the OP of being an MLM rep for a company that isn't a MLM company, nor does it use agents, then YOU cite a company that has an AGENT LOGIN on its home page. Who's the shill in this conversation? |

Powernet Global has some excellent products and prices depending on
what state one is in. Some people don't want to dial an access number even if it saves them a bunch of money. Some Telco operations have a much better agent program than others. Some of the agent programs are fair and equitable to each party, where some are not. A good agent, no matter what kind of service you want, can be an asset, believe it or not. Every money making business has some kind of promotional plan. Where Onesuite may be word of mouth and use of access numbers. Generally, I've found the cheapest services, like Big Zoo(GONE) Onesuite, Pincity to have the most call problems, but then I'll take the occasional glitch to ATT prices or the iffy call quality of early or poorly implemented VOIP, which has been getting better. So much better, all the big Telcos are getting involved. Mostly to avoid the heavy taxation involved with traditional telephone service. Getting into data transport circumvents lots of taxes. A big family or business, who calls LD allot, would be served well by the flat monthly fee unlimited LD plans, but for the infrequent LD user, that can be a big fixed cost, wether it gets used or not. I used Onesuite for a couple of years in California and got a lot of call quality problems, so I dropped them. It appears now they have lots of local access numbers, so that 800 number won't get jammed up. Currently use Pincity, but they run out of capacity for many local access numbers at peak times ![]() Ready to try Onesuite again. - Dave |

At 2.9c/min (there's not a local access number in our area, just the 800#), I'd have to talk 759 minutes to breakeven. Since the only time I use Onesuite is when my husband has the cellphone with him (or is already on it long distance), our long distance bills are negligible, maybe $1.00 a month. Leigh |

I like OneSuite.
Incredibly low long distance phone rates. As low as USA-Canada 1.9CPM! Works as prepaid phone card. PIN not needed for calls from home or cell phone. Compare the rates at https://www.OneSuite.com/ No monthly fee or minimum. Use Promotion/SuiteTreat Code: FREEoffer23 for FREE time. Altho from USA payphones there is a surcharge, there is NONE from Canadian payphones. |

It all depends where you call. There is a company opening shortly that puts
all the service together. What do you pay for your local phone company? Maybe $25/month plus features? For $29.95 per month you can trash your local company and get unlimited long distance and features to anywhere in Canada the US and 20 other countries. All you need is high speed Internet. You can still use all your phones and keep your number. To me that's the cheapest long distance. When you deduct what you are paying your local company, whatever is left (in the example above) would be $4.95 for unlimited calling. You can't get cheaper than that. The link is below: It opens in early October. www.igonet.net/freedom4u "Annie" wrote in message news:6F_Ze.4567$qC4.3911@trnddc02...

I considered Vonage (and similar services) but decided against it due to the reliability problems. If I lose my internet connection: no phone. If the power dies, no phone. If the modem dies, no phone. No thanks. BellSouth isn't anywhere near the cheapest, but I pay $39.95 for unlimited local and long distance, call waiting, call forwarding, etc. And the phone service has always worked... even after Hurricane Hugo, when the power was out here for 10 days. I still use Onesuite when I'm away from the house. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

For me, it worked out because I spend more than $29.95 between my local and long distance, plus you get every extra imaginable like call waiting etc... So I figure even if I don't call that much - I still save money. The VOIP service is very clear - just as good as regular service. Yes, the only catch is no power - no phone. But that has rarely been an issue where I am and after all, most people have a cell phone if something like that happens. www.igonet.net/freedom4u Richard |

But even during our ice storm here 2 years ago that brought down the power in three counties for periods from several days to two weeks, we had constant cell phone service. Many cell sites and their associated landline interconnects have battery and generator backup. Heck, I was working at home, connecting to the net via my cell phone, since the cable modem was out for a week, too. Thank goodness for spare laptop batteries. ;-) - Rich |

I know Verizon for instance and many other responsible Cellcos have
batteries and propane powered backup generators for their cell towers. I don't know exactly how long they can generate power during an outage, but it would take quite a large propane tank, or lots of expensive batteries to last for 2 weeks. Propane is a good fuel choice for long term storage. IIRC, thought is was something like 24 or 72 hours tops for the tower equipment propane generator. I'm real curious thow he Cell companies are ensuring extended backup power, with the new attention to communications during disasters? VZW from anecdotal tales, seems to hold up very well during power outages. Anyone using Vonage on a basic speed DSL plan? Would the increased speed of a cable modem or faster DSL plan make the voice quality of Vonage any better? I can't stand poor voice quality. It seems in this age of high compression codecs quality is getting sacrificed for quantity. I'd rather pay a slight premium and get the full range and details of the person's voice to whom I'm speaking, during personal calls. It's hard to beat a good old landline for voice quality. - Dave |

I'am in the Northeast and have seen a lot of the equipment and a buddy provides a service where he has been at most communications sites in our region so I am only telling you what I have seen and he has told me. tmobile and Sprint use small cabinets on a pad with no battery(s) and a power connector that allows them to plug in a trailer mounted generator that is kept someplace else. Some Cingular sites have generators in addition to battery. Nextel doesn't fully populate the battery racks so they have minimal reserve and they also use a connector so they can plug in a trailer mounted generator. Verizon fully populates the battery racks and has a generator (usually diesel) at each site. |

I like OneSuite.
Incredibly low long distance phone rates. As low as USA-Canada 1.9CPM! 1.9 CPM or 2.9CPM? AS LOW AS 1.9CPM AS HIGH as I think several dollars per minure thru Imarsat or Iridium. To Canada using local access # it is 1.9CPM |

If you aren't going to make $10 worth of calls in 6 months I would agree that OneSuite is not a good choice. If you make $30 to $50 of calls in a month, it makes little difference if they are paid for this month or next. If you really make that many calls, it might be worth getting one of those unlimited long distance plans. They're typically only $50/month including local service. - Logan I haven't found a flat rate plan for international calls. Igonet gives you a flat rate to 20 + countries around the world. They are opening around the middle of October. If you have high speed cable, you can even get rid of your local company. For local calling and unlimited calling to 20 countries is only $29.95. The other countries are priced quite inexpensively. www.igonet.net/xxxxxxxx How about a legit company link without a "referral link." I'm not interested in MLM companies. ESPECIALLY when they are not identified as such in a self serving post. (Why is it all MLM pushers hide either what their company is selling or the fact that it is an MLM outfit?) |

For the same reason that proselytizers don't mention tithing until they have you convinced about the "one true faith?" |

Though they seem to have removed the marketing material from their web site in an attempt to cut down on sign up calls right now. Seems that Katrina restoration calls have overloaded their customer service capability. |

Flat rate, as in a fixed $$ per month for unlimited minutes? I doubt that any stable non-VOIP company will offer that. The costs are variable on their end - that is they will pay a per minute fee to terminate the call. Too much chance they could get burned. |
