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.

From what you've stated Igonet is MORE expensive than Vonage. Vonage's
unlimited service is $24.95, so why would anyone want to go with a more
expensive company like Igonet which is yet as you say is new and (therefore)
yet to be established and has who knows what growing pains!
