Packet8 Internet phone service was introduced in 2002 by publicly traded
8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq:
EGHT),
a 20 year old telecommunications company with more than 68 multimedia and VoIP technology patents. Since then,
8x8 has applied this expertise to the development and provision of reliable, high quality voice and video
Internet phone services for both residential and business users. When you subscribe to Packet8, you can feel
confident you have chosen one of the VoIP industry’s most respected and admired service providers.
Our Service Offering
A broadband telephone and videophone service like no other, Packet8 is an affordable and easy-to-use broadband
telephone and videophone service. Designed with both residential and business customers in mind, Packet8 allows
anyone with broadband (high-speed) Internet access to make UNLIMITED calls to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada
for as little as $24.99 per month. All Packet8 subscribers get worldwide UNLIMITED calling to other Packet8
subscribers at no extra charge. Calls to non-Packet8 International numbers (outside the U.S. and Canada) are
billed at very low per minute rates.
What Are The Options?
Packet8 offers numerous residential and business Internet phone service plans that utilize your existing high
speed Internet connection (i.e. DSL, Cable, T1) to deliver low cost, feature rich phone service. When you
subscribe to a Packet8 plan using our online store, you will be shipped a Broadband Phone Adapter , an
all-in-one expandable VoIP phone system, a standalone VideoPhone or Video Terminal Adapter or a Virtual Office
business-class speakerphone and Phone Adapter, depending on the plan you choose. These devices can be
self-installed and activated in minutes. Packet8 customer support is available at no charge to assist when
needed.
How Does It Work?
Packet8 sends all incoming and outgoing calls over a high speed Internet
connection (instead of the traditional public telephone networks) through a
Broadband Phone Adapter. There are no extra numbers to dial, no special
instructions to follow and no talking through your computer. Just pick up your
phone, listen for the dial tone and dial any regular phone number. Incoming
calls ring your phone the same as any traditional phone.
To sum it up, with Packet8 you make and receive calls as you always have, but
we route them more efficiently to save you money. Your calling experience will
be identical to what you have always had, but your phone bill for local and
long distance calling will be a lot less. And there's NO EXTRA CHARGE for
popular features like voicemail, caller ID with name, call waiting, three-way
calling, follow me/find me and more.
