how much do you call? my VoicePulse service is $15.39 w/ tax per month. i get 200 LD minutes that i never use and if i did, i'd switch to my cell phone. that $180 a year, less than your Vonage.
then there's MagicJack which seems to work like Ooma for considerably less. what is the thing about Ooma that appeals to you?
We used to have the 500 min $15 Vonage service, but we started going over. Our cell phones have poor reception in our condo, so we rely on the landline.
MagicJack, as I understand it, required a PC to be connected 24/7. That is not really a problem, but I like the idea of having something connected to my modem that can manage call quality/traffic and does not require any computer to be on (let alone a PC).
But if MagicJack is a viable alternative, I'd certainly look into it.
