Well not sure how much you like to experiment but there are many free or
less expensive ways to do that using Asterisk and an analog adapter like
the Linksys/Sipura spa-3000 or 3102. A lot more work but if you find
playing with Linux fun then you might like it. Typical rates are .01/min
US and not much more to many countries plus free voip to voip.
I hate being tied to a single comapny. With Asterisk you can decide where,
when and how the calls are routed. A rather steep learning curve but not
that bad.
The Linksys interface is VERY configurable via web. It has a fall-back
mode that will connect the PSTN to your local analog phones should the
network or power fail. Cost about $85. Everything else mostly free.
