Cost is minimal and uptime is good as long as Comcast internet is live.
It has a 911 designation for our house address so that should be ok.
Only problem was I was unable to get a 32159 zip code phone number so had to select one in Dunellon. That throws people a curve when I dial them from the land line. But you can transfer an existing phone number over to the Majicjack and do it that way.
I had the plain Majicjack earlier, but it required usb connection to running computer. the "plus" version does not require a computer usb connection, but rather a usb connection at your cable/internet router instead.

There are two other low cost device providers (and their service):
Free Local and Long Distance Calling with netTALK's DUO
Free Home Phone Service | Ooma
I would not overlook (or assume) anything about the security features of any VOIP provider or their devices. That goes double for the really cheap ones. There are differences in the VOIP services... more than just the bells and whistles.
OOMA claims to secure communication traffic over the internet with encryption.
I have not used any of them. So I have no personal experience about how well they work.
