I got PhonePower.com (which had a 10% off deal at the time) and $199/year with 2nd year free (except fed & state fees) ...the performance is unbelievably great ...it also has "cloned line" which means while you are on a call another person can pick up another phone and make or receive a call simultaneously. When you get a message, it can be gotten the usual way or you can hear it as a .wav file in your email or on their website secure. I am thrilled with it. No popup; it works just like a regular phone. The phone modem is BEHIND my router; they supply it for nothing, you pay shipping only. I was able to port my number. During the 2 week port process (caused by delay from Verizon) you can use the outbound immediately. Cost to call international numbers (we do that) is very low. Sound quality is FAR SUPERIOR to Verizon POTS. My internet is only DSL speed even though it's cable (limited basic Comcast). Check it out. If you mention my email address, we BOTH get some kind of bonus!

Without of course, disabling the telephone. Simply unplug the MJ. A much better solution for VOIP would be something like Vonage, which has a "magic jack" that connects straight to your router, and a regular telephone jack on the other end. So when you get a call, the telephone rings, instead of popping up a window on your computer. On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 11:19 PM, Kelly J.
