Ease of Installation/Setup:  

Like all VoIP services, Lingo requires a high-speed Internet connection and most VoIP services are easy to install and setup. Simply sign up online and Lingo will send you a free telephone adapter. An Ethernet card is required to install their service and you have to use Lingo's telephone adapter because it's configured to their system.

Help/Support:  

Lingo has a large and helpful FAQs section on their website. They also offer customer service by telephone and email. However, they will not answer questions through email unless you are a customer.

Lingo offers a wider selection of calling plans than most providers, especially if you have some specialized calling needs that include a variety of foreign countries. Paying attention to the plan details and making sure that they match your personal needs are the key to success in selecting a VoIP provider.
