I have used the service for months now. the quality is very good and network reliability has not been an issue at all. I don't use all of the features, but have no complaints about the ones I use. it wouldn't break my heart to spend a little less each month, but the old saying is true that you get what you pay for. Customer service is US-based and the reps actually know how to answer my questions. I haven't tried other providers, mostly because of the reviews I read on the internet from actual users. I picked voip your life because of the good reviews I found on and the fact that I didn't have to sign a contract. bottom line--this service has been great for me and I recommend to anyone reading that they give it a try.

Outstanding no frills VoIP service. Ordering was smooth, transition from Sunrocket was easy and fast. line quality is outstanding...much better than what I had with Sunrocket which I was also very pleased with. It is the only VOIP service I've had that has worked with my old fax machine without a hitch. I've not had a network outage since I've had the service. I've had Vonage, Comcast and Sunrocket and the reliability of VoIP Your Life is unparalleled with any other VoIP service I've had. My only gripe about VYL is the feature set is very limited compared to its competitors. We run a small business out of the home and with our previous provider we were able to use the virtual number to go to a separate voice mail for all business calls. This is not available with VYL. The virtual number goes to the same voice mail as the primary number. The member web site is very vanilla. Looks like it hasn't gone through a redesign in many years. It appears very antiquated especially if you are used to Sunrocket or Vonage member sites. Though this may be changing since the home page was recently updated. With that said, the UI is still functional and very easy to use. There is also no network outage forwarding...but they have proven that you don't need it. You will find better feature set for the price elsewhere, but if you are just looking for rock solid reliability, I would definitely recommend VYL.

After reading about Vonage and some of the others I was more than a little scared about trying this. Now I am so happy. Absolutely as reliable as any phone service that I have ever had and at half the cost. The calls could be louder but the sound quality is excellent. The bills are a piece of cake. My one PROBLEM, faxing, I have the line mostly for family calls and the occasional business fax out of my home office. If the fax is more than 5 pages, you will probably have an issue. I new this could be an issue going in. Sharp makes a broadband fax, might be worth packaging with this if you home office with any frequency. I wanted to share my 2 cents since this is where I made my decision. Sales staff was helpful and I was up and running in 4 days with a number I picked, haven't had a single problem beyond faxing. No phone calls to customer service, how much is that worth? Good Luck.

We had Vonage (twice) and dumped them finally. I found this company online (here actually) and decided to try them. They are great and here's why: Customer Service: always available, based in USA and they answer nearly immediately without having to go thru vm hoops. They are helpful and answer questions promptly, themselves-no transferring to other depts! This was a huge plus for us. International Calling: Reliable and great sound quality. Sound Quality: NO ECHOES! great sound, period. Ease of use: It's a no brainer, once it's connected you can use your regular phone/cordless. Features: Extensive feature list-music on hold or when you click over is nice and there's a do not disturb feature and a wake up call! They have a counterpart softphone also that can be downloaded onto your computer and you can use it just like your regular phone to answer and place calls with all of the features available. Everything is at your fingertips on the web and your voicemails can be delivered to your phone AND your email. Pricing: Fair and Reasonable-a good deal really. I may sound a little over enthusiastic, I never write things like this, however, I love a great deal and we're really happy with voipyourlife. I hope they're around forever! thanks-hope this review was helpful. lisa in phoenix

The international plan was the kicker for me, between my wife and I we talk about 30 to 50 hours a month international. we have family and kids everywhere. I am a designer of Carrier class VoIP and next generation telephony devices. While there user management GUI lacks any flare, the base features and management is functional and has been very reliable. It must follow the "kiss principle". no outages by this provider in 6 months of service. 1 or 2 dropped calls a month. has been as reliable as ma bell.

Voipyourlife is one of the of the best VoIP service provider. I tried ZingoTel which was alright for a while, but then they automatically changed my plan from Personal to Business and I ended up with a big bill, and I couldn't get my money back as everything DOES imply according to their contract. Before ZingoTel I had Primus, which was a bitter experience because they started charging for net works, and had a lot of billing problems. Voipyourlife is the first company that I have found provides very good customer service, a lot of great features and are very honest in their billing process.

This is our first voip phone experience...we will be in Boquete Panama for approximately 8 weeks and we wanted to have phone and internet availability where we are staying and we have had nothing but a great experience.. the clarity of the phone conversations is amazing ..we have made and received numerous phone calls from New York, Florida, California etc and have nothing but crystal clear calls.. no dropped phone calls.. everyone that we have spoke to back in the states said that it sounds like we are sitting right next to them. I did purchase a Panasonic DECT 6.0 digital phone before heading down to Panama. I don't know if that helped the clarity of the calls or not but this system has been excellent up to this point. If anyone is interested in the cat # of the phone it is KX-TG1032S.

Have had crystal clear calls through VOIP Your Life for over a year now. Setup and running within 2 days of getting the package in the mail. Customer service was very helpful. Service is feature rich and mostly reliable although there have been 3 or 4 times in the past year where there is no dial tone for half a day or so. Otherwise, the service has been exactly what I was looking for when I made the leap to VOIP.

A tech company that uses real, live, human beings to answer the phone after a couple rings and no automated system!!! A tech company whose employees are native english speakers so you can understand every single word they say!!!! Heart be still........ Those two elements alone were enough to convince me to use VYL. Add a rich complement of features like their virtual number (so family back home who aren't VOIP customers can dial a local number at their end and avoid ATT/QWEST long distance charges). The ability to track ALL calls online, (landline service requires you to get a subpoena for local calls if you need to prove they had been made) the ability to set up the features you want and disable the ones you don't (I want my answering machine to take the calls, not the computer), and a long list of features I can turn on or off as the need arises. I have no problem with Caller ID.... it shows up on my phone with names, so maybe it's a hardware handshake thing that's preventing people from seeing who is calling. My phone at home is a Uniden CLS 475-3 which is a three handset system that I can expand with a half dozen more. Works fine. I had a little difficulty setting up my system due to Qwest's customer disservice. Dealing with THEIR multi-layer automated system was a nightmare, but that's a whole 'nother story. I've had relatively clear transmissions, and no dropped calls. There has been a noticeable lag time between dialing and connecting, but you get used to it. (only slightly annoying, but I'll try the # trick). For cutting my phone service cost in half, I'm more than content with what I'm getting and what I'm paying for it. No commitments. Who cares what their website looks like as long as everything works.....and it does. This is a good company that understands the most basic concept of the service they provide: CLEAR COMMUNICATION. It starts with the potential customer and the service provider connecting seamlessly for the sale and the setup. It continues after the sale with responsive customer service. Feature rich, understandable service providers, reasonable rates, reliable service.....what's not to love?

One we got it up and running it has been fine, except for one thing, caller ID. There is no caller ID. They are aware of the problem and the techy guys say they get calls all the time about it, its their number 1 call problem. They gave me a reason, and I'm sure its legit, however its not excuse. When someone calls in it ALWAYS shows "blocked" and when we call out we have some other guys name showing up to the people we are calling. They say they HOPE to have it corrected by next year. We switched to another VOIP, sadly.
