$15 a month for home phone service....not bad. More expensive than a magic jack, but I had problems with mine and got rid of it.

After having no phone service availble twice on wireless during emergencies I am going back to having a plain old everyday wired home phone.

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.

Keep those copper wires to your house energized. The phone companies are trying to get rid of them.

My Ooma phone costs less than $12.00 per year tax. No issues unless cable is out. I paid for system initially but I have covered that expense. .... I had Vonage which is real good. Actually better than advertised....

Obi100 at Amazon is only $40 up front and unlimited everything when combined with Google voice. No monthly fee for anything.

I use the Obi 110 with Google Voice. It will be free at least the rest of the year. I use Callcentric for the 911 service.

I’ve been thinking about Oohma(correct spelling?)- Consumer Reports gave them the best ratings by far. Is it true you can’t use a fax machine with that? The voice is supposed to be the clearest.

Anyone use a OOMA phone?
Yes - mine works very well for $3.47/ month. I also have an Obi100 at my office and so far the service (Google Voice) is free.

OBI (see on Amazon or New Egg) is really cool.. and after you buy it... well it is FREE. I bought mine on New EGG for $37. I use it with Google Voice and call quality is exceptional.... and well... FREE. .
Have used it for 3 months with no problems.. except those I created. Try it you will never go back to any phone provider

I would go with Ooma again if had to. Great company. Not familiar with recent offers. I paid about $220 for equipment about 2 years ago and get under $12.00 added to my CC each year which I expect. call me at 1 205 533 6196 and see for your self.. I am in Alabama..

Ooma is great. I paid $220 about 2 years ago and am charged a fee of under $12.00 each year. I talk with a friend in Hawaii frequently. Clear as it can be. call me in Alabama 1 205 533 6196 to or give me your number and I will call.. Vonage is ok. I was paying $12.50 per month and decided to stop that payment.. before I ported my number. Vonage voicemail transcribes messages to text and attaches it to email. Ooma charges $9.93/ month for this service.
