Primus Telecommunications pushed the market for Internet phone services a step further Monday, launching a flat-rate package that includes unlimited calling to the United States, Canada and Western Europe.
The introduction of the consumer-oriented VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) calling plan will also test the lower limits of calling-plan pricing for Net telephony systems, as the package–dubbed Lingo–will retail for $19.95 per month. VoIP provider 8×8, by comparison, offers unlimited North American dialing for the same price.
