I've got some questions for anyone who has VOIP in their house. There's not really a category for this cause it's more of a general feedback question.

I've got Packet8 and have been on there for 3 months. Here are the pros and cons that I see.

1. 911 service is limited in my area. I'd have to pay to make the call to a dispatcher that would then call my actual dispatcher...thus creating a 911 middleman.

2. I have to always do 11 digit dialing. I hope there's something that fixes this one. It'd be nice to have the option of dialing only the last 7 digits since I don't live in a metro area.

3. Sometimes incoming calls aren't routed correctly and my phone doesn't ring. But I've not really seen this happen but twice since I've had the service.

Does anyone have similar reviews of their VOIP service? My bill is right at $20.55 or so a month for unlimited calling in the US and Canada.
