Has anyone tried Vonage? It is a phone line available through the internet that allows you to send & receive local and long distance calls for $24.95/month. Any feedback would be great.

watch out

two things to consider with IP telephone. One, make sure they have figured out how to procure a 911 call. two, make sure your alarm monitoring company will be able to work with this technology. Both of which, I dont think they have solutions for.

Alternatives

We just ran into (accidentally)a Comcast rep over the weekend who was signing folks in Wylie up for phone service which included the following: $29.95/mo for unlimited local and long distance (fee guaranteed for 1 yr). There is no deposit, free installation and the first month is free. Needless to say, we signed up immediately. I office from home and Verizon was charging an average of $90-$100/mo for two lines. I will now have a set charge of around $50/mo for both lines. I DON'T WORK FOR COMCAST. But this is a great deal. I have the name and number of the rep if you want it.
