HughesNet Voice (VoIP) Services
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONSIDERING HUGHES VOICE SERVICES! We do offer HughesNet Voice (VoIP) Services over our HughesNet Gen5 VAR Business Internet Platform, however, it’s important that you know that we cannot, do not and will not EVER guarantee the quality of service that you will receive with HughesNet Voice Service! In our experience, some of the customers who have signed up for the Hughes Voice service are mostly happy with the service, however, some of our customers have not been happy at all with the Hughes Voice Service. Some people say it’s fairly reliable, while others say there are times they can’t even place a call or the call is misdialed, dropped, or noisy! It seems some people have better luck than others with this service, so, unfortunately, we cannot recommend this service for any emergency application or for business use! We prefer happy customers, and because of that, we strongly recommend that, IF YOU CHOOSE to order the Innomedia ATA and Sign up for Hughes Voice Service, that you choose the “no commitment” option until you make sure that you are satisfied with the service! Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on the Innomedia ATA’s once they have been installed and activated, so that is a risk that you will assume if and when you CHOOSE to order that device and the Hughes Voice service!
WiFi calling seems to have the same issues over this platform in that some days it might work well, while other days it might not work at all! We hope that Hughes will eventually improve upon this service, but for now, we usually recommend Skype Voice or another online voice chat service over this network! For those of you who require good, reliable VoIP services, we offer another system and service that fully supports that application and more… please contact us for details!
