I use the magic jack for phone service. Just renewed the service for 5 years for $59, so now less then $12 a year. I take the MJ with me when I travel, unplug the hotel phone and plug in and have free LD then as well. Most hotels now have free wi fi. I bring it home for me to have FL calls follow me. Voice mail comes in my e-mail as a wav file.
I set my laptop to never shut down, just use the screen saver and let the hard drive stop so the phone always works. I happen to have an old laptop I use just for the MJ and leave it in FL.
Great invention, works well, and very cost effective.
