America Online said on Thursday it was launching its Internet phone service in more than 40 cities, offering prices as low as $13.99 per month as part of an aggressive rollout campaign.
The service by the world's largest Internet access company will be similar to that of Vonage and several other companies, which use a customer's high-speed Internet link to send and receive telephone calls.
AOL said it would offer three pricing plans for its AOL Internet Phone Service to current AOL subscribers, from $13.99 for a local calling plan up to $29.99 for unlimited North American calling and low international rates. The prices increase by $5 after three months.

For new subscribers, AOL is offering its Internet services and phone service for $29.99 for the first six months and $39.99 thereafter. AOL's standalone service for broadband Internet users costs $14.99 per month.
Vonage, the largest voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service with more than 500,000 subscribers, offers unlimited calling for $25. Some smaller providers offer unlimited calls for less than $20 per month.
AOL is a unit of Time Warner.
