For a while there, it seemed like VoIP prices would keep dropping to the point that Rupert Murdoch’s prediction, namely that all VoIP would be free, was, indeed, coming true. But, based on my examination of monthly subscription VoIP services, prices for IP voice service have, well, stablilized.
The table below shows a round-up of current VoIP prices for selected cable, telco, independent and reseller providers. These prices are, in some cases, lower than they were a year ago — AT&T and Verizon have cut the monthly prices for their VoIP options to be more in line with what Vonage charges.
But the cable guys, the biggest VoIP providers of all, haven’t really cut prices. Even Cablevision, which put its Optimum Voice service inside a very attractive triple-play bundle, effectively reducing the price from $34.95/month to $29.95/month, clearly states this bundled price is a promotional one-year offer.
