Our Opinion:

Packet8 is a commercial Voice over IP service, provided by 8x8, Inc., and based in the United States

8x8 Packet8 Broadband Phone Adapter VoIP - VOIP, or Voice Over IP, is a new technology that lets you make phone calls over the Internet for a flat monthly fee. All you need is a broadband Internet connection, either DSL or Cable, a router and a Packet adapter plus an 8x8 VoIP service plan. It's easy to set up and works with any high-speed DSL or cable internet connection.

After you sign up for the monthly service, you plug your phone into the adapter, plug in the power cable, and connect the adapter to your network with an Ethernet cable included in the package. You'll get a new phone number and your phone will work the same as always - but calls will travel through your modem instead. If you prefer to port (transfer) your existing phone number to Packet8, in most cases it is possible.

With Packet8, anyone with broadband (high-speed) internet access can use their regular phone to make unlimited calls from anywhere to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, for one low monthly rate. All Packet8 subscribers also get unlimited worldwide calling to other Packet8 subscribers at no extra charge. Manage your account online, forward voicemail to your email as an attachment, and more. You also have the advantage of taking your home area code with you when you travel, so your home or office can reach you without paying long distance rates.
