I see one of the ads at the top of the page is for Vanage and I wanted to recommend it to everyone who has broadband internet service (cable or DSL). John and I got Vonage and we LOVE it.
We get unlimited calls in the US and Canada (not that we call anyone in Canada) for $24.99 a month. We can make unlimited calls to anywhere in the US and we don't get charged extra. My father-in-law is switching over because he pays over $50 a month for his phone service and he doesn't get unlimited calls.
Here is how it works. You go to Best Buy (or Vonge's web site) and get the adaptor, then you hook the adaptor up to your internet connection (cable or DSL) and then you hook your home phone up to the adaptor! You can keep your phone number or choose a new one. (We picked a phone number from one of the rich towns because they didn't have our town available.) You can even pick a number from a different state and you can have as many phone numbers as you want for $5 extra a month for each number. So say you live in CA and you have family in NY and you call them all the time and they call you all the time. You can have a CA phone number and a NY phone number for $30 a month and your family in NY can call you at your NY number for free (if they have free local calls)! And your CA friends can still call you without having to call a long distance number to your NY number. Or you can just have a CA number and you can call your family in NY for free and just call them instead of them calling you. I just call my family back so they aren't charged long distance whenever they call me.
And here's what the $24.99 a month includes! You get call waiting, call forwarding (I send calls to my cell phone when our internet is down, Vonage doesn't work when the internet is down but it does forward to my cell phone), voice mail and it even emails you your voice mails! When I get a voice mail I just check my email and I can listen to the message on my computer! Or I can just dial *123 type in my password and get my voice mail right through my phone. Or you can go to the Vonage web site and check your voice mail there. They keep a record of all your incoming and outgoing calls as well as a section for your voice mail. You also get 3 way calling and a ton of other things free with Vonage.
Ok now that I have rambled on about this service, click on the advertisement and check it out!
If anyone gets it feel free to say that John and Jodi Gibson recommended it and we will get a free month of service for each recommendation. Of course you don't have to say we recommended us I just want to get the word out about it because I am in love.
