Lingo - Days 1 and 2

Well, after careful debate, I've decided to purchase a Lingo VOIP telephone. For those of who don't know, a Lingo phone basically operates like a regular phone except that it uses the Internet to send communication. Anyway, I had to decide between Vonage and Lingo and I decided to go with Lingo because they offer unlimited calling to a lot of countries, particularly Russia and Brazil, for just 49.95 a month. Plus, I'm able to set up a phone number in one of these countries so that my friends can call me. Considering I spent 10 bucks on two phone cards to call a friend in Brazil the other day, 49.95 for unlimited is an awesome deal!

Anyway, I've decided to keep a short journal about my experience with Lingo here as I had a lot of difficulty finding any good information on the Internet to influence my choice. What follows documents my experience.

Day 1 - I decide to order Lingo, so I go to their website. Everything is filled in on their site, including porting my existing phone line (Qwest) over to Lingo. I was also able to add my international number after I had completed my order. I placed this order midday, so I don't think the adapter will ship. However, I could be wrong.

Day 2 - I recieved two things from Lingo today: 1) A notification saying that my current number will be ported over in about 10 days - hopefully I didn't make a mistake in porting my number before I determined how good the service is. and 2) A notification that my adapter will ship today and I should have it within 3-5 days (shipped UPS Ground). So, until then I wait for the guy in brown to leave a package on my door.
