The telephone is one of the greatest inventions of all time. Before there was the cell phone, and before there was the internet, the telephone was the only other means of speedy communication. Even today, people put a premium on actual conversations on the phone as compared with chatting or sending correspondences via email.

So it is no surprise that more and more people want better services for their phones. Fortunately, Insight Communications is here to rise up to the challenge. With the Insight Communications Phone 2.0 package, you pay $40.oo every month. With this value you get unlimited local calls, and unlimited long distance calls.

And as icing to a very delectable cake, this unlimited long distance offer is not time-exclusive, because you can call anytime, anywhere and pay the same exact amount on your phone bill--the flat rate. You can call all the states in America, plus Puerto Rico, Canada, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands.

To make the deal even better you get 12 features all for free. They give you free voice mail, so your callers could leave you important messages even when you can not pick up the phone. They give you free caller ID, so you could screen your calls on the spot, and know exactly who is calling. They give you free call waiting options so you could actually tell when somebody is calling you while you are talking on the other end. The phone even tells you who is on call waiting while you are on the phone with someone else.

And that is not all you get for only $40 a month. You also get to enjoy the free Three-Way calling option, which allows you to speak to two different friends at the same time; so you could catch up with your girl friends or drinking buddies like you were actually talking over a pint of beer.

Call forwarding is also for free, and you could choose up to 12 specific numbers to forward your calls to. They also offer you the repeat dialing service which automatically redials the busy numbers for you, and then alerts you when the phone is no longer busy. There is also a call return function, which allows you to dial the last number who called you up; a DND or Do Not Disturb function, which places your phone in “busy” mode so you do not receive calls when you wish to. They give you free selective call rejection so you could reject all the people whom you do not wish to receive calls from. This feature allows you to pick 12 numbers to reject; so when they call you up, they get transferred to a message that tells them politely that you can not receive their call. You could even block your number when calling a friend with Caller ID services.

With Insight Phone 2.0, your calling experience will never be the same.
