They have a good deal, it makes me wanna dump Qwest for telephone. We have Comcast broadband to run it. Does it work good?

Have had it for over a year. So far no problems at all. We pay something like $20 a month for 500 minutes. This phone is a supplement to our cell phones and an alternative number for people to reach us at if we don't have our cell phones on us. For this reason the 500 min lasts a month. The only issue is the use of the phone for 911 calls. It takes longer for the phone to be traced for sending emergency services. We use ours through our Comcast internet connection as well. Comcast also calls about once every two months asking if we would like to switch over to their phone service for $40 but we keep declining.

Also, you lose service in a power outage. Only an old fashioned land line phone will work when power goes out. I seem to recall this being an issue more than once this year.

I have had Vonage for over three years and love it. I have their premium Package and it works perfect. Like Crisisman said if you lose your internet connection or power the phone will go out but other than that it works perfectly. There are cheaper services int he VoIP communty but I love the feature you get witht he Vonage service. You can check messages from a computer anywhere, through their website which is very helpful.

I have skype, but only the free service, I don't use it much yet. I just cut off my land line, switched from DSL to clearwire.
