You may want to check out Obi as it cost just one time $30 to $50 and it never drops me..so far never. I have not paid one cent over the last year or so and with Google Voice I picked my own number and it was easy to chose an easy to use local number (xxx-xxx-9099).

Use it to a Google voice number and now all calls are free. If it takes a voice mail you get a transcript in your email...and that is amazing for being free.

Thanks for the additional info. I think Obi was one of those I checked it out when I opted to go with Vonage but I can’t remember for sure - been a long 8 months ago. The line this is for is a business line in a business name which is also listed in all the area telephone directories, both in the yellow pages and white business pages. I’ve had the same phone number and company name since 1985 and it was important that my number not change. Vonage does have a plan for businesses and so it was a simple matter to get AT&T to release it to Vonage under the same business name. I often also have to fax documents via machine, not efax, on a somewhat frequent basis so have my one Vonage line set up split to my printer/fax machine to do this easily. And it also works well through my “adult sized” phone.

As usual I diddled around with trying to find options until I was up against a hard deadline and facing a huge rate increase from AT&T so didn’t do all the diligence I probably should have. My cost for Vonage is only about 12% of what I was paying AT&T. But nothing is forever and when my current contract is up in January I will take a look at Obi. Thanks again.
