AT&T
AT&T started its Broadband phone service, also referred
to as Internet phone and VoIP, back in 2004 in New Jersey
and Texas. Since AT&T is one of the world's largest
telecommunications companies and is the largest in the
United States, the name alone tends to draw people to
them. The AT&T plans tend to cost a little more
than many other providers but the feature set is impressive,
as you would expect from a brand such as AT&T. |
|
Price Value
AT&T offers one of the most comprehensive VoIP
portfolios in the industry. User need to be aware that
AT&T is a reliable provider but tends to be a bit more
expensive than many of the other providers. |

Editor's Note
AT&T has a great list of features that cover nearly
all your communication need. Their support is excellent,
their network and hardware are solid. AT&T's only
flaw is their price tag. Their premium services come
at a premium cost. However if price is not an issue,
then check out AT&T. |
