It all depends where you call. There is a company opening shortly that
puts
all the service together. What do you pay for your local phone company?
Maybe $25/month plus features? For $29.95 per month you can trash your
local company and get unlimited long distance and features to anywhere in
Canada the US and 20 other countries. All you need is high speed
Internet.
You can still use all your phones and keep your number. To me that's the
cheapest long distance.

I think you are talking about Vonage. They have a plan now for
$14.95 a month. The number of minutes is limited to something
like 500 or 1500, but that is far more than what I use.

The company I'm talking about is actually called Igonet. They are only new
and opening in early October. They are cheaper than Vonage and the calls
are unlimited - no limits. For me, it worked out because I spend more than
$29.95 between my local and long distance, plus you get every extra
imaginable like call waiting etc... So I figure even if I don't call that
much - I still save money. The VOIP service is very clear - just as good as
regular service. Yes, the only catch is no power - no phone. But that has
rarely been an issue where I am and after all, most people have a cell phone
if something like that happens.
