let's assume i would buy a videophone form ACN. How much does it really cost? How much I will have to pay monthly? and what will I get in return?
Can I talk via this videophone to other people (and see them in video)? Do they have to also buy this videophone and use ACN as service provider, or can they use any video phone or computer?
And one more tihng - do you connect this phone to internet socket, or phone socket?
The true cost of the IRIS 3000 is $99 with a $29.99 monthly service fee. Taxes are not included in this pricing simply because they vary from state to state and country to country. The videophone acts fully like any other traditional phone and, assuming you have a sufficient broadband connection, will allow you to make and receive calls to any phone in the world. Video is only accessible with other ACN Videophones, but that is the same regardless of how you make video calls(5linx to 5linx, AIM/MSN/YAHOO/SKYPE to AIM/MSN/YAHOO/SKYPE, etc.) Also, since Anarchist will not be able to resist commenting on this, video calls between Instant Messenger services are free, however good quality and the reliability of your video calls are not guaranteed, and you will still be required to pay the overpriced fees for your home phone. A single IRIS 3000 that costs $99 with $29.99/month not only provides the most reliable and best quality video calls, but it also allows savings of whatever the difference is between the monthly cost of your home phone and the monthly cost of the IRIS 3000. Finally, because the service operates through your internet connection, you will be required to either connect the IRIS 3000 directly into your router, or if you wish to have your videophone somewhere else in your home, you can purchase a set of video phone links as an accessory and connect one device to your router and the other to your videophone and have it operate normally anywhere in your home. I hope this answers your question.
