You can do VOIP to somewhere like 2talk for $cheap.
I've always had A problem with the idea of running VoIP, what happens
when your internet is down? how do you ring customer service?
You spend some of that money you save on a cell phone call.
Telecom phone = $50 a month, plus $3.95 for CID plus $10 for voicemail
2talk phone = $15 a month, includes CID and voicemail.
A linksys pap2t pays for itself in only 3 months, and the increase in
internet traffic is fairly small - for me its ~1GB/month but thats with
a teenager on the phone 2 hours a day.
If you are still unsure - get a 2talk free account - allows you to make
15 minutes/month of voip calls for nothing. And you can get a softphone
for linux or windows so there's no hardware costs to trial.
Of course if your DSL is ratelimited then voip will be pretty terrible.
