Please recommend non-telco long distance service?

Vonage box plugs into router or switch or hub (just another device on your local LAN)

MJ uses a USB port on a PC, with all the issues that go with that.

The answer depends upon your long distance usage,. especially if you need international calls. Some of the suggestions you're receiving don't consider international calls, which are important to me. My Embarq LD plan costs $3.00 per month and US LD calls are $.10 per minute. International calls are also at an attractive rate which varies by country.

One family member living in England signed up with Vonage and was given a Virginia telephone number. That means I can call him from my cell phone at no cost (within my time limits) or landline for $.10 / minute, which is very economical for me.

Embarq is my local phone co., and I have several other complaints, but their LD service is good.

We went all cell phone (Verizon) and dropped the land line altogether. Haven't missed the land line at all. Kevin
