Mondo Talk may well be the most user-friendly VoIP provider on the globe. With extremely reasonable calling plans, intuitive home-phone and computer interfaces, and a unique pocket-size phone that works with any online computer (even one with a dial-up connection.), MondoTalk is a new and extremely competitive residential provider that allows its customers to make calls from anywhere in the world a computer with an internet connection can be found.

Installation and Interface

Mondo Talk boasts extremely inexpensive phone service both through a software interface and through a home-phone adapter they will ship anywhere, worldwide, at no cost to the customer. Calls made from one Mondo Talk line to the other are absolutely free, and Mondo Talk offers extremely reasonable rates for call to other phones all over the world.

To go along with their inexpensive “Teen Talk” minutes package, Mondo Talk offers the MiniTalk mp3 player/internet phone. This trendy device plays all major music file types, stores up to 1G worth of data, and acts as a voice recorder. It allows the savvy user to store music by title, artist, or genre, and also comes with $10 worth of long distance credit.

The MiniTalk can be plugged into virtually any computer, and only needs 30kbps bandwidth to function. This allows for simultaneous phone and internet services in single phone-line households that still use a dial-up connection. Most importantly for parents, it can be used as a phone when plugged into a computer anywhere in the world, giving anyone on the “Teen Talk” plan little excuse for not calling home on time.

Features

MondoTalk’s “Easy Numbers” feature goes one step beyond virtual numbers. Customers can choose their last four digits in several different patters: XXXX (7777, for example), XXYY (7799), ABCD (4321), and five different other easy-to-remember patterns.

Customers can keep their old phone numbers and still save as much as 70 percent off long-distance bills. Like any good VoIP provider should, but not all, do, MondoTalk’s EasyTalk home phone adapter works with cell phones with a minimum of effort. And while MondoTalk does provide e911 service, customers using the EasyTalk adapter also retain access to their local, land-line based 911 service.

Performance

MondoTalk prides itself in being a truly global communications provider. While service plans for the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. are available, MondoTalk is available in any location that provides a high-speed internet connection.

Customers need not live in any particular nation to purchase that nation’s calling plans. Customers in India can easily purchase a U.K. prepaid package, while hip teenagers in Japan can outfit themselves with a MiniTalk mp3 phone and chat away on the U.S./Canada “Teen Talk” monthly plan.

Service and Support

MondoTalk makes customers’ lives easier with a quick-start page, downloadable manuals, and software downloads. MondoTalk service also includes online ticket support with stellar turnaround time, and instructions that can be easily understood by the non-technically inclined.
