From Sky Internet VoIP website:

SkyInternetVoIP is a phone service that allows you to place

and receive calls over any broadband or high speed cable or DSL

connection.

It gives you practically 85% discount equivalent to 6c/minute* vs. the

current 40c/minute of ILD (* based on free 300 ILD minutes for Plan

Premium).

Unlike most VoIP services which use PC to PC, meaning both parties

communicate thru PC and headset, Sky Internet VoIP uses regular phone.

You use it like you normally do with your regular phone. So even those

who are not familiar with internet can immediately use Sky Internet

Voip and get to experience the benefit of low international long

distance rate.

A review from Pinoy.tech.blog by Ka Edong:

What’s happening? With a DSL line, you’ll have your DSL telephone

and an Internet connection. When you add SkyInternet VoIP, you’ll have

another telephone line for IDD calls. Isn’t this becoming a broadband

overload? And a monthly bill overload too!

I don’t see many

people taking on a superfluous VoIP subscription when they already have

a DSL connection. I think it’s just super over…

IMHO, Sky Internet VoIP is overkill.  What most Pinoys really need

is a cheap way to call their loved ones abroad, and I would think even Skype’s Skypeout can serve this purpose, and it’s cheaper (at US$ 0.02 per minute to the U.S., Canada and most developed countries).

We may not need this type of service yet–I wouldn’t want a whole lot

of hardware installed at my home and have the telco overcharge me.
