Panasonc Globarange phone and service
The Panasonic Globarange phones have fantastic sound quality compared to some other VOIP phone manufacturers. I use it with a economy 784 kBps cable modem service hard wired to the router. The service provider JOIP needs quite a bit of improvement otherwise this would have gotten an excellent rating. I signed up for Pay as you Go and found their database for some of my local towns show up as belonging to an international destination. I then switched to the World 400 plan and I am still awaiting a working incoming number after 1 week, and minutes get deducted off my 400 global minutes even though they show up correctly as free on my itemized call list. Customer service is friendly but appears short staffed, and need more technical knowledge or need to refer problems to their technical staff quicker. Due to their are so many different plans for each country they seem to get confused with whats included in the various plans. I believe if they spend money to improve their infrastructure they will be a dominant player in world VOIP surpassing Vonage. Skype has less expensive plans but the Panasonic equipment quality is superior to some of the less expensive no name telephony manufacturers. The only time I heard an echo with the Panasonic phone was when calling a cell phone but this I believe is an occasional issue with any VOIP provider due to the inherent time delays as the signal transmits to the base unit and then transmitting through the vast -W W Web- that increases when calling another system such as a Cell phone or even digital Cable phone that has tiny delays to the cell towers or cable servers. All the tiny delays add up if one party isnt on a land line. Otherwise this is the best VOIP phone I've ever tried. I still like Skypes super low prices and usual decent quality calls but for a non PC based voip phone the Panasonic makes you feel like your still using your landline - most of the time:)

Fun to use, NonOEM battery
1st the phone (Comparisons of Pageplus, T-Mobile, Puretalk and ATT later in this review.) This WINDOWS touch phone has lots of cool features for the price paid ( less than 25% of the original retail) and its been fun since its my first touch, app, 3G phone. It has some quirks such as it easily gets bumped into new settings -1 day suddenly the lock button stopped working until I redid the settings. It kept going into emergency call only -thought it was from shortcut to airplane mode, however after researching I found it was because my home number as an emergency contact when dialed, puts it into Emergency mode (fixed by putting a 1 in front of my contact home number made it different enough). ------
The windows environment however is typical of windows - not obvious where things get stored. After downloading a few apps,I found some were in one location, some in another but not stored in the proper memory location. As the apps were downloaded via the windows live app rather than BREW, perhaps this is why new app shortcuts dont show up (manual on Samsung site is basic). I am very proficient in using computers but this environment is not user friendly for the less tech savvy. If you are not used to a touch screen, you will find this one is easy to send a call to voicemail by accident when pulling it out of your pocket. It seems like any phone with apps uses the battery pretty quickly - mine DID NOT COME with a OEM battery - HAVE SEEN BATTERY ERRORS but the battery does not last nearly as long as my slider did even with just calls, but the slider was not 3G, just TMO web.----- So for now its more fun than any phone Ive owned. I assume Android may be better, and the IPhone probably doesn&t lose track of apps. I ordered a micro SD card that needed FAT 32 formatting offline for the phone to recognize it. I will BUY A OEM OR EXTENDED OEM BATTERY , keep the phone for a few months and then decide on biting the bullet and getting a Iphone or GO BACK TO a EASY TO USE 1 HANDED FLIP PHONE like a military style.

After using T-Mobile flip and slider phones for years, I decided to try a Verizon based touch screen with hopes of better reception. When comparing this phone on the PAGEPLUS network to a Samsung T-369, the reception seems to be marginally better. When using PageP with a older MOTOROLA pull out antenna phone I get much better service. I like the features, customer service and cost of Pageplus, though so far it hasn;t blown away TMO prepaid reception/cost. It does seem like its more often the phone quality than the service- my son hasnt complained about Puretalk (ATT prepaid) since I got it to work on an old 3G Iphone. ----I usually try to buy phones with less than 0.9 SAR, this has ~1.2 and havent seen any greater reception with the higher SAR so will probably go back to lower SAR phone. IPhone 3GS with ATT works well but its not prepaid so maybe thats why. Compared to cheap Virgin Mobile phones and MetroPCS this is probably much better. Wont know until I travel some more.
