Default $99/Year Unlimited Home Phone Service

We're pleased to announce that after nearly 3 years of design, development and BETA testing, HostGator is now eating up phone bills with the launch of VOIPo.

Launch Special

To celebrate our launch, we're offering some incredible specials on our Residential Freedom plan which offers unlimited residential calling to the US and Canada.

Pay Monthly: $15 Monthly
Pay Yearly: $99 Yearly

FREE Phone Adapter Lease
FREE Priority Mail Shipping
No Cancellation Fees
Full 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

Unlimited Calling to US/Canada
All Calling Features Included (Over 35)
FREE 2nd Line
FREE 411 Calls (3 Per Month)

Visit www.VOIPo.com for more info and to order.

This offer is limited and won't last long so don't miss this chance to get a full year of phone service for just $99. All accounts have a $29.95 activation fee and a regulatory recovery fee.

How It Works

You'll simply connect our adapter to your internet connection, plug your regular phones into it and use them as usual. You can transfer your existing telephone number or get a new one from nearly 7,000 areas. There's no software to download and you don't need your computer. All you need is a broadband internet connection.

Backed By HostGator

In 2006, I founded VOIPo and Brent from HostGator became an investor. We knew that the industry needed something new and set out to build a service that could do what HostGator has done for hosting. In essence, we launched VOIPo to starting eating up phone bills.

Even though VOIPo isn't owned or managed by HostGator and is a completely separate company, we do have a very strong partnership and operate with many of the same philosophies.

HostGator is committed to helping VOIPo in any way that it can as we grow. So while VOIPo may be new, you can rest assured that it's fully backed by the financial resources and strength of HostGator.

Reseller Program

We know that many of you are very interested in reselling VoIP with our upcoming reseller program. At this time, we're only launching direct services. Orders are pouring in and we expect this volume to only increase. We want to be 100% sure there aren't any delays or issues that come up from the launch volume and that any lingering bugs are worked out before you start selling to your customers.

We expect to launch the reseller program within a few months.

Contacting VOIPo

Many of your questions will be answered after visiting VOIPo. If not, feel free to contact us using one of the following methods:

Live Chat: www.VOIPo.com

The service is mainly designed to be used from the US since we can't guarantee the voice quality of service overseas and only ship our adapters out within the US.

If you are overseas, you can use software and your computer to make/receive calls if you want, but again the quality will depend on how good your internet connection to us is.

If you are outside of the US and would like to order, please e-mail sales@voipo.com and we'll give you the info you need to do so instead of using the normal order process.

Right now it's only fully offered in the US. Anyone in Canada can contact us to order manually and use software if they'd like, but we're currently not shipping any hardware to Canada due to the logistics of doing that.

I think that is something you would need to talk to Tim about. Although his company is very closely affiliated with HG it is a separate company. The post above yours has a link to the company website.

No plans for that. With toll-free service there is a hard cost for every minute used on that toll-free number so it's not really possible to do an unlimited plan without massive overselling and hoping usage remains low.

Basically toll-free service is just reverse billed. Example: If someone using Verizon Wireless in Ft Lauderdale FL calls your toll-free number, Verizon Wireless ends up getting paid for every minute of that call behind the scenes by your toll-free provider.

Since toll-free service is always billed based on usage, it's not really possible to do unlimited with reasonable usage. Sorry!

I think dominant currency in voip market is Euro. Can you put on the site rates in Euro also? Resellers in the future can ask that. I am curious about your reseller plan could you tell something? How it will works? Do you planning to sell voip termination or dedicated voip servers?

Considering that this is mainly US based, why would they list pricing in "Euro"?

It's quite easy to convert the currency for yourself,
Asking HG to do it only add another layer of confusion..
They'll always have to keep up with the current exchange rate...

You and jordanlw are totally true if your target will be the US for "reseller voip". I am reselling voice to the individuals, SME's, and call centers. Most of them using IP PBX. We can route calls through cheapest provider. In this case 0.001$/min can be my profit. That's why I checked directly your international destination's rates and it was 4619 rows.
