If speakeasy does this, I am going to go with them. They have always had an excellent technical staff, and the owners have publicly said that they would rather shut down their business than violate the privacy of their users, so I like em a lot.

Vonage has a $15 a month plan that gets you 500 minutes (which, for my family is more than enough)...with all the bells and whistles (caller id, call forwarding, voice mail, etc). you can also get your voice mail over email (i think it's a .wav file...might be .mp3), which can be convenient. but the -coolest- thing is that if i refer you and you sign up under me, i get 2 months free. (yes, i'm a vonage referral whore) :) On 3/9/06, Loathe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, I'm sold.
