TelCompare.Com Review
CogniWorld is Cognigen Network's flagship international long distance calling plan, hence its name.
In most respects, CogniWorld is very much like Cognigen's other calling plans. The main difference is that CogniWorld offers better international long distance rates.
As with other Cognigen calling plans, all calls are billed in six second increments, with a six second minimum per call. There is a 30 second minimum on international long distance calls. You can avoid monthly service charges on this plan by spending at least $20 per month on long distance.
The intrastate rates on this program are slightly higher than on their CogniState calling plan, so we only recommend you use this plan if you spend more on international calls than on intrastate calls.
As with other Cognigen services, you can only order this product online. Toll-free customer service is available to all new customers immediately upon enrollment though. This plan seems to be the favorite among our readers who spend lots of money on international long distance. Cognigen's customer service is helpful and supportive, and we have never had any complaints about the company.
