And 911 works too right from any phone in your house.

Your monthly cost goes from $60/mo plus long distance calls to $4/mo including all long distance calls. Pays for itself in 45 days.

Better than MagicJack too because it doesn't rely on your computer being on all the time and there's no annual user fee.

Goodbye Century Blink and Comcrash.

We use Magic Jack, and if you get the device that plugs directly into the router, your computer does not have to be on all the time. We don't get a monthly bill, but I think the yearly fee is $49, or something similar to what Ooma charges; just billed once a year instead of monthly.
