I have MagicJack. It works, when it isn’t disconnecting itelf from the computer.
I have thought about checking NetTalk, which plugs into the router, so one does not need for the computer to be on.
I have Tracfone pay-as-you-go. I make few calls, so it costs be about $7 per month.
The Verizon-Straight Talk service sounds interesting.
Anyone use a OOMA phone?
Keep those copper wires to your house energized. The phone companies are trying to get rid of them.
get the magicjack plus - no pc on all the time.
The new magic jacks plug right in to the router and works great. I have one.
