Customer Reviews:

Great for home use........2006-11-08

I got it from Voicestick when I created my prepaid account. The USB device is slim and includes a nice headset. It had enough space to load my portable Skype version so I have both services in a single USB stick. COOL and very useful. However, I have to confess that I use the service most of the time from my cell phone rather than from the computer.

Pros
- Best rates to most of my preferred international destinations, lower than Skype, Yahoo M, Stunt, and local "cheap" phone cards.
- If you don't like contracts you can open a prepaid account with $0.00.
- Can use the service with regular phones, you don't even need a computer (they sell the SIP adaptor required).
- You get a phone number in US for free (skype charges a fee).
- Pinless access from a registered number. You can call international from your cell phone.
- Very easy to use software.
- Incoming calls are free.
- Other cool services such as global call forwarding, free calling to other voicestick subscribers, voicemail, speed dial, caller ID, call logs, do not disturb, and conferencing.

Cons
- Charges national long distance, I better use my cell phone or Skype.
- The stick rapidly overheats, however it works well, I don't know if that is normal??
- Occasional communication problems associated with voice delays, call drops, sound quality, etc.

I use it as a cellular bridge, saves me hundreds a month.......2006-05-01

Calling Globaly on a cell phone means never having money left over to eat. Go to voicestick.com and sign up for the $25 a month Global unlimited minute plan, then put YOUR cell number in the bridge. So when I call the UK or Italy, or even my one friend in China I just use my cell to call to my voice stick number and then I get a new dial tone.

No more sky high long distance rates. PLus I can use my computer to call out on. What a deal

Using My Laptop at an MCI Center in Kutait, I Paid 99 cents a month and 2-3 cents per min, I Prepaid so I didn't Have any Problems with Billing, I used a Quality Computer and Quality Connection so I had no problems. I can't answer for some of the problems above, but I will Say This Device was very Used by fellow Soldiers. I bought 4 for myself and used them to talk to my family. Because they all subscribed, it was FREE! Setup was kind of Slow but after that easy to use. I never had to use customer service, and the mic and earphone was compatable with my laptop and my cell phone. I used it a lot.

good days - bad days.......2006-01-24

I use Voicestick from my cell phone to call across the Atlantic. Some days I can talk an hour or more with no problem. MANY times when my friends pick up the phone and they can not hear me. I have to redial. The line (almost every time I talk) go deaf on one end for a few seconds. Other times it drops the line for good.

I only rated it 3 stars because it is cheap. 99 cents/month + low minute (couple of cents a minute to Europe)charges. What do you expect...well, they aspire to become the best voip service. They have a long way to go.

Voicestick delivers as promised.......2006-01-12

While on a business trip in London, an associate raved to me about the portable VoIP phone she had just picked up - i2 Telecom's Voicestick. I borrowed it for a night and made several calls to the U.S. I couldn't believe how remarkably clear and dependable the connection was! When I got back home, I ordered my own Voicestick.
I'm away from home on business about 2-3 days per week, including about 1-2 trips per month overseas. I've tried the Voicestick from several U.S. and international cities and it's never failed. I'm saving about close to 90 percent on long-distance charges as a result.
I admit I'm somewhat tech-phobic, and I had some difficulty in setting up some of the Voicetstick options, such as voice mail. Fortunately, i2 Telecom support worked with me, without brain pain, until I was completely comfortable with the device.
I can't imagine there's a better protable VoIP phone on the market.
