Existing Viasat satellite internet customers who add the Viasat Voice service will pay $29.99 per month for adding Viasat Voice. New customers who bundle Viasat Satellite Internet with Viasat Voice when they sign up will get a $10 discount on the phone service for the first six months and then after six months the incentivized $19.99 rate increases to $29.99. All rates are subject to applicable taxes and fees.

You can keep your current phone number, get unlimited nationwide calling, get good call audio, and enjoy call forwarding options. Viasat Voice is not a landline. It operates over the internet. It allows you flexible home communication. Phone calls are transmitted using Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. Calls run off your Viasat dish but won’t impact your monthly internet data volume or your internet bandwidth.

The cost depends on whether you are a new Viasat customer. For new customers, the price for the first six months of Viasat Voice is $19.99 per month plus applicable taxes and fees. It’s an incentive rate. After six months, the rate will increase to the standard rate of $29.99. You get one bill each month for the internet plus Viasat Voice. It makes sense to sign up for this service when you sign up for Viasat Satellite Internet to take advantage of the discount but even if you add it later on due to a need emerging then you still are getting an extremely competitive phone rate that you can compare and contrast with all available carriers in your area.

You can forward calls to your cell phone, laptop, or tablet. You’ll get caller ID, voicemail, and call waiting. Calls are free anywhere inside the continental U.S. and Canada.
