magicJack বনাম Vonage

সংযোগ ফি

magicJack: নেই। Vonage: প্রকাশ করা হয়নি। সংযোগ ফি হলো কলের দৈর্ঘ্য যাই হোক, প্রতিটি কলে যোগ হওয়া একটি নির্দিষ্ট টাকা। তাই প্রতি মিনিটের তুলনায় যেসব ছোট কলকে সবচেয়ে সস্তা মনে হয়, সেগুলোতেই এই ফি আনুপাতিকভাবে সবচেয়ে বেশি পড়ে। পাঁচ সেন্ট ফি-সহ এক মিনিটের দশটি কলে শিরোনামে বোঝানো খরচের চেয়ে পঞ্চাশ সেন্ট বেশি লাগে; দশ মিনিটের একটি কলে লাগে পাঁচ সেন্ট।

ক্রেডিটের মেয়াদ

magicJack: মেয়াদ শেষ হবে। Vonage: কখনও নয়। মেয়াদ শেষ হয়ে যাওয়া ক্রেডিট এমন একটি খরচ, যা কোনো রেট তালিকায় দেখা যায় না; একবারে আপনি কতটা টপ আপ করেন এবং কত অনিয়মিতভাবে কল করেন, তার ওপর এর গুরুত্ব নির্ভর করে। জরুরি সময়ের জন্য কেনা ও অব্যবহৃত থাকা ব্যালান্সই নিষ্ক্রিয়তার নিয়মে কেটে নেওয়া হয়।

প্ল্যাটফর্ম

magicJack চলে iOS, Android, Windows, macOS-তে। Vonage চলে iOS, Android, Web-তে। এটি যতটা হওয়া উচিত, তার চেয়েও বেশি তুলনার ফল নির্ধারণ করে: আপনার হাতে থাকা ডিভাইসে যে সেবা দারুণ হলেও পাওয়া যায় না, সেটি আদৌ বিকল্প নয়। আর বিকল্পটি যদি এক ঘণ্টা ফোন কানে ধরে রাখার মতো হয়, তাহলে ডেস্কটপ ক্লায়েন্টের গুরুত্ব যতটা মনে হয় তার চেয়েও বেশি।
