is there any difference?

Post by dani85 »

FPL offer a phone adapter for $99.99. But most phone adapters are much cheaper. I am wondering if there is any difference of buying from FPL and other retailers?

Hi dani,

The $99.99 includes both the ATA device and the configuration file. If you already have the configuration file, the ATA is $49.99 plus shipping and handling ($14.95)

Dani85.

Buying FPL/Fongo's ATA adapter also means getting customer service to help you troubleshoot any issues.

At $49,99 (+$14,95 shipping) the difference from buying elsewhere is worth it.

Plus if FPL/Fongo makes a little extra over them it goes directly to insurring continuty of free service and expansion of the network (meaning more free cities to call or being able to port our numbers from).
