Any good VoIP choices?

[the86d]

Ooma seems to be raved about even a few years ago, but phonepower worked pretty well, until I realized I couldn't run my alarm off of it in the current config (No home dial-up, of FAX on VoIP lines as a general rule due to speed, [improvements could have been made that I am unaware of,] or you have QoS knowledge).

$14.95month w/2 year contract, or even 2 years for $199.

I haven't had a MagicJack in a few years, but they have a PC-free device now (no USB to PC required).

Looks like Ooma or VoIPo are the choices after research on price, keeping number and features I want. Come Wednesday I will call VoIPo and get the last bit of info, from there involve the financial comity (aka wife).

I have had Vonage for close to 10years now. Very happy, I was able to keep my original number and have had ever since. I moved from Mnt View to San Jose and now Tracy, and never needed to worry calling everybody up and distribute new number.

Clear calls and works well with international calls. You can setup lines, voicemail and i believe there is a fax option aswell.

We have had Magicjack Plus ( no computer required ) for about 6 months now, been pretty good.
Paid $70 for the hardware. ( you connect a usb power adapter, and phoneline + ethernet on the other side. ) Came with 1 year of service.

Added 5 years of service for $100.

so a couple bucks a month, i say its worth wayyyyyyy more than you pay.
any questions you can PM me.

Just keep in mind with any VOIP choices your limitation will be latencies; even rock bottom DSL has enough bandwidth. Your voice quality and connectivity will live and die by it.

I have an old Ooma set and I don't pay a dime, not even the FCC monthly fee ...

Ooma for me, never made a better choice.

As long as you don't go with 8x8. Vonage is better than they are.

Yeah. Ooma is good and all but after looking around I think VoIPo is our choice. They have the services we like, we can port our number and keep it even if we move out of state. Service is great according to consumer reports...
