I use Vonage as well. On top of the great rates for you to dial out, you can get your family a local number so that they can call you for free too (if they're in a major city). Another added bonus is that if you travel, you can take the device with you and connect it into any broadband internet modem, even ones in Canada. If you’re going to move, you can get a new phone number in advance and keep your old one as a virtual number for a month two until you know all of your phone numbers have been changed. As Reba mentioned, the one downfall is that if the power is out, or the cable is out, you have no phone, but the cost savings throughout the year is enough to use a cell phone during those times, and the incoming calls can be sent to your cell phone when the network is down, or even when it’s not if you want. Paying up front for a year saves another 20%. We've had ours over 3 years now and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Also, if you get the right device, you get a built in wireless router too. I could go on, and on, but check it out and decide for yourself!
