Our service is similar to Skype in that it travels over the Internet, but differs in that it is an open standard. This means that any equipment you might invest in with Skype cannot be used elsewhere once you discontinue the service. Any equipment to be used with our service (called SIP) can be used with a multitude of providers. Competition in the SIP space is likely to bring prices down further, whereas Skype can increase prices at whim, as their customers are unaware of competing offers and cannot switch without losing their hardware investment (if any).

Their long distance prices are higher than ours and so is their pricing for phone numbers.
