Plans

We have merged this page with Rates - we are only keeping it for backward compatibility. Please see Rates for the most up-to-date information.

With all our North American plans, when signing-up you can keep (transfer) your existing phone number or order a new one at no extra charge. All our plans include standard features (Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Enhanced Voice Mail, Multidevice), except for those that may require special setup - which can usually be added on request at no extra charge.

Unlike other providers, we do not force you to get e911 service, which is generally unnecessary especially if you decide to get a second or more phone line(s) and may be a privacy liability. If you do not wish to pay for this service and save yourself the trouble of keeping your address updated (and possibly, depending on your plan, the service fee), you can have it removed on request from your plan. Because some setting up is involved and since its reliability depends on your keeping your actual address updated with us, this service is only set up upon request.

For most of our plans and charges, taxes are included and prepaying for one full year gets you one month free. All the "unlimited" plans assume a residential usage pattern, as we understand it based on the average use of our previous customers. If your usage reflects a business-like pattern, we might recommend and enforce a change to a business plan.

There is no extra charge for using our service with other devices - and we have an extensive help section on how to set them up.

We provide phone numbers in Anytown, USA and Canada at extremely low rates. While supplies last, we can provide you with a free Cisco / Linksys ATA - you only pay the flat shipping rate of $20, just make sure your account balance is sufficient.

World (60+ countries) Unlimited

*** By far the best value of all our plans, the world's your oyster here. It includes all incoming calls as well as all outgoing calls within contiguous USA and Canada, like our "Unlimited USA and Canada" plan, and, additionally, free calling to many countries, including Western Europe, China and many others. While most other providers give you an "introductory rate" close to ours and then charge at expiry $20 and even more, we only charge $19.45 and if you pre-pay for an entire year, you get 1 month free, which is a much lower effective monthly rate! Note that we can customize this plan to include countries you call the most, rather than countries you never call, or, if you prefer, we can pick these countries for you.

Unlimited USA and Canada

This plan is best for those who want to avoid the headache of checking an itemized bill. It includes all incoming calls as well as all outgoing calls within contiguous USA and Canada. We currently charge $15.35. If you pre-pay for an entire year, you get a free month! Calls to other countries are charged at our already extremely low rates.

Get More Calls (incoming monthly)

With our incoming monthly plan you get unlimited incoming calls for $4.95 / month and pay extra only for outgoing calls at our already very low rates. You only pay for the calls you dial yourself, while those you receive are all included in the package. As usual, our standard features are free and included. If you would like to get unlimited monthly calls for less than $1.99 see our Buddies Unlimited plan below.

Business plan

As an entrepreneur or simply a power user, you learned to watch every penny and would rather see an itemized bill with calls charged in 6 seconds increments than paying for unlimited usage. You only pay monthly for each phone number you registered, usually less than $2/month, depending on the area code. You might want to upgrade to a Toll-Free number as your business expands - it can be as low as $1.19/month and we can restrict calls to Canada or US or both!

Toll-Free

Just like the business plan, we charge in 6 seconds increments and taxes are included.

With TF Canada (recommended), a number is $1.49 per month plus $0.0324 per incoming minute, with coverage for both USA and Canada. A Vanity / PhoneSpell setup adds a one-time charge of $36.

If most of your clients call from the USA, you might consider our TF USA plan, $0.0228 per minute from US, $0.096 per minute from Canada (locked). The monthly cost would be $1.19 and a Vanity / PhoneSpell setup is $18.

With all our business plans, we can block entire area codes or specific numbers and, as a bonus, we can set up an IVR in up to 3 languages (computer voice) free of charge.

Outgoing only

For the ultimate in frugality, try our outgoing-only plan. This plan incurs no monthly charge but you are unable to receive incoming calls. We set your Caller ID to a number available in our "Buddies Unlimited" pool, or, for a small charge of $10, we can set it to another number of your choosing so that when you place a call, the called party will perceive the call as if coming from your cell phone (or any other number you wish) and can call you back there. You can control the name shown on the caller ID yourself from your softphone or ATA.

Buddies Unlimited

This is the plan we generally set up when you first try our service, or if you need to receive phone calls but prefer to not pay in full for a regular phone number. You can thus share the line with others (possibly buddies) via an extension number. When someone calls you they would be greeted with a multilingual message that prompts them to enter an extension at which point they can enter your extension and, if you are properly set up, your phone will ring. This means that for the small inconvenience of being reachable via an extension number (e.g., your number would be 4163987228 EXT 9xx) you can have unlimited incoming calls for a price lower than owning a full line business plan ($1.99/month). Your friends can even save your phone number in their mobile phone phonebook by using special characters to get the phone to wait before sending the extension - all cell phones allow this - so that they don't have to wait, remember your phone or the extension number. Also, calls are always private and completely separate from those you might be sharing the line with. See also FAQ.

This way, you get unlimited incoming calls at only a fraction of the cost of a full line, and you can get this anywhere in the world where we offer incoming numbers. For instance, if you live in North America but have friends and family in a foreign country that call you often, you might want to get a phone number in that country so that they can call you without incurring long distance charges. Such phone lines can be expensive so rather than get one all for yourself, you can share it via extension numbers, allowing you to pay only a fraction of the full cost. As an added bonus, when you travel to that country with your smartphone, you can just get a cheap local prepaid SIM card with 3G or 4G internet and use our VoIP service to place calls and ANSWER with your existing number. This way you get a permanent phone number where you are always reachable - which is impossible or expensive to maintain with prepaid SIM cards.

Fax

We offer dedicated Fax to Email numbers in most of North America at $2.99 per month, which includes 17 transmission minutes monthly, with additional minutes at $0.0348 (less than 4 cents a minute). This is more than sufficient for fax usage in most business scenarios. A faxed page takes usually 25 seconds, but it may take longer in unusual circumstances. Faxes received at the fax number we give you will be instantly sent to your email. To send a fax, you will email it to "fax at ezvoip dot co" specifying the destination fax number in the subject line, followed by a dot and the number you want it to appear from, with no other punctuation such as dashes, spaces, or brackets. You may attach the fax as pdf, txt, jpg, gif, png, tif.

In addition (or separately) to any of the plans above you may also acquire a Toll-free or regular phone number abroad.
