If you explain your use-case maybe we could give more specific advice.
Vonage or similar gives you a VOIP router with two POTS ports, that can
connect two Vonage lines.
Do you want to run all your house phones from Vonage , or just a single
phone near the VOIP router ?
Vonage lite costs 5c/min with a minimum of $10/mo charge, while the higher
plans are $25/mo for 'unlimited' but you can only use the phones connected
to the VOIP router.
By contrast Vitelity.net costs 1.1c/min with less than $1 month minimum
charge and you
can use it for any VOIP phone or with Asterisk. ( but you need to have
a VOIP
capable router with QoS, and an VOIP phone or Asterisk ) My 800
toll-free business
line for my office costs me 2.2c/min inbound and 50c/month min usage.
If you only want simple home service to a few phones go with Vonage,
but if you have an office
and would like to expand further into Asterisk at some point, start of
with Vitelity and a VOIP phone.
You may need a better router with QoS, however depending on your line
speed and traffic.
