voip saved me 74% off my phone bill!

We just switched to voip versus our regular at&t land line at the house. If we had good cell phone signal, I think we’d just cancel the land line all together, but unfortunately that’s not the case.

So our phone bill usually floats around $68/mo with long distance calls and everything else - privacy manager, call waiting, etc. We ordered voip for $16.95/mo (paid in full for first year) from voip.com and it includes call waiting, nationwide calls, 3 way calling, call return, voice mail, etc. It also has a web interface where you can view all the call history and manager all the features. It’s way cool. Just plug the phone router (from voip.com) into our standard linksys router and into any phone jack and voila!

We can use this and save all this money because we have cable internet, those that have DSL wouldn’t be able to use it because it requires a phone land line. So I guess the question would be is DSL + phone line cheaper or more than Cable + voip…

It also saved us big bucks because we have a business line at the house (w/AT&T we paid $12 flat and pay per call) and to have a second phone line with voip.com which has all the bells and whistles (our AT&T didn’t) we pay an extra $10/month so our total voip bill is $26/mo vs. $80/mo. Easy decision for us!
