Re: [TMIC] OT: phone service w/extra calling features

[Jim Lubin]

I've looked into the different phone service plans to try to save money. The problem I have with any VOIP service is that 911 doesn't work the same. They all mention this in the fine print. Also since the phone service is over your high speed internet access (DSL or Cable) it goes through your dsl or cable "modem", so during a power outage you have no phone access either.

Phone service is offered in most locations throughout the U.S. and in many other countries.  There are different plans available, local, long distance, unlimited with local and long distance, and they have the VOIP (which you need high speed in order to have).  With the VOIP you can get a video phone too!  I personally took the unlimited that includes local and long distance and get 10 custom calling features, like call waiting, caller ID, call waiting caller ID, 3 way calling, call forwarding, etc.  It also includes in-house wiring, free.  There is no charge for changing companies, keep same phone #, they use same phone lines, and if your company charges you to switch, they'll refund the charge to you. No commitment, if not happy, you can switch at any time.
