Re: [PLUG] OT - Cheap Home VOIP Phone Service

[Eric Lucas via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I use voip.ms and I'm very happy with them. For the hardware I use an unlocked Linksys/Cisco PAP2T and 

it's worked well for the last 8 (or so) years. I plug in a dual handset cordless phone into the PAP2T and 

presto! landline. I have not opened the port for incoming calls because our family and friends know our cell 

phone #s and  the only messages we get on the landline are spammy ones (expired car warranty, etc.) 

Good luck!

I want to get a "landline" for home.  I don't want to give out my cell
phone number unless absolutely necessary.   I therefore thought I'd get
a cheap VOIP service as a "trash" number.  I don't need to port an
existing phone number, and I naturally don't want to pay much.

I've seen Ooma, which requires a $80 box and then costs bout $4/month
for taxes and fees.  Anybody try one of these?  Any other suggestions?


TIA!
