I noticed this for the first time a few weeks back on an infomercial like commercial. If you're not familiar with it, it's a box you plug into a USB port on your computer. You plug your phone line into the other end. It assigns you a phone number and...voila...phone service for no monthly fee. The box is smaller than my cell phone and it costs $40+shipping.
I figured it was a gimmick and too good to be true, but after reading some reviews I decided to give it a shot anyway. I figured I might replace my Vonage plan and keep cell phone plan down. Every penny counts, right?
Well, I have to tell you all that it does work as advertised. Hopefully the company holds up in the long term because this is mighty cool. Second year is $20.
I have Vista and it works just fine. The only drawback is keeping your computer on and the software running. The program pops up for incoming and outgoing calls and displays some advertising in a pane within the program.
Install was easy...plug it in, give it a couple minutes to install software, and you should be good to go!
If you're looking for some very cheap basic phone service with e911, caller ID, voicemail, call forwarding, & free long distance, take a look. It's perfect if you have a wireless phone with satellite units. Maybe you can save a few bucks a month for gas money!
