I do not have any home phone service. I solely use my cell for communications and am among the 'Merican "slackers" who use my work computer for spending hours and hours on the TDR website and "other" naked truck sites

Comcast for phone and hi-speed internet access.

I just got my Voice over IP phone set up a few weeks ago through Earthlink.



So far, so good.

I can check and hear my voicemail via the internet. The are downloaded as WAV files so you can keep your messages for as long as you want. You can also check it via the phone like normal.

It lists all incoming and outgoing calls so I know who I talked to and when. If for some reason the cable goes out(hasn't in 3 years), it automatically forwards to my cell phone. Free options like caller ID, voicemail, call forward, all the stuff the phone company charges for.



Best of all is I have unlimited long distance in US and Canada for only $30 a month and the first month, set-up, and equipment was free. Only cost me $10 to have the convertor shipped to me.

We have Sprint as our local landline phone provider here. $100/ month is more than I am willing to pay. I can't wait until Union Cellular gets their cell tower put up on our place, no more landline for me. Now that I got wireless high speed internet there is no reason to have one, all my calls are done during the day while I'm out and about anyway.

I'm planning on getting VoIP once I move into the new joint...



Vonage sounds pretty good... and is comparable to Earthlink's service. Every day that goes by... there's another VoIP provider that pops up.

We have a landline at the house for 911 service only. We use our cellphones for 100% of our calls because everything is long distance from our house (except in town - which is a town of 600 people, we've made maybe 6 local calls in the 7 years we've lived here). Once the cell phone network in this area allows for location lookup for 911 we'll kill the landline completely.

No land line, just a cellular. I am fortunate to be one of the folks who gets cellular reception at the station. Land line is way more than I want to waste.



Unfortunately, this means using the company box, and Winders, for my internet - after hours, of course.
