My 2¢ .
I'm trying VoIP over Comcast Broadband with
BroadVoice .
At least, so far, for my teenager's phone line.
Not perfect, yet.
But has been a 200% winner for me, for two weeks worth.
$10 / month (actually, $11.45) for unlimited in-state phone line.
Lovely features.
Voice mail optionally also sent to a designated email address.
Everybody loves to use BV's 7 digit dialing (for same area code calls).
Just need "#" to signal dialing done.
I also use
OneSuite for out-of-state long distance.
OneSuite's 2.5¢ / minute even beats BroadVoice's 3.9¢ / minute rate!
(But requires calling OneSuite's local access number, rather than just dialing 1)
And I'm in Massachusetts.
So is my BroadVoice VoIP phone number.
Thus, with BV's unlimited in-state, I can call "access" numbers anywhere in the state, at no additional cost.
As a result, I'm also using
RNK Tel's 1¢ International calling card for overseas calls. They only have 2 access numbers, both in Mass., both of which would ordinarily be an in-state toll call for me with either Comcast Digital Phone or Verizon.
Hey, I gotta' check if I can call domestic USA via my "International" 1¢ deal ???
