So for quite some time I've been looking into getting rid of Qwest as our home phone provider and goin hi-tech with VoIP. Well, after a rather stressful grouping of phone calls with PITA Qwest reps over a recent improper charge on my phone bill, I decided to make the move.
As of today, our home phone will be utilizing VoIP!! (Voice over IP for those of you who live under a rock). Our home phone number remains the same (although it may take a day or two for it to switch over...right now we have a temp number until the switch is complete...just call our cells if you need us for now).
So I ran out...bought a Vonage phone adapter...and a few minutes later, I was up and running! One reason i didn't do this earlier was that I read that it wouldn't work with our home security system...Well that may have been true a couple years ago (maybe), it is no longer true at all. I found enough info online to ensure me that I wouldn't have a problem, and after running my system diags, everything is connected up perfectly.
One of my favorite features is that it will email me a .wav file of any voicemails we get. So no matter where i'm at, i can check mail on my treo and get my messages that way without using any cell minutes or making any phone calls...pretty slick.
Plenty more features that it comes with..and for only 14.99/month, it beats the 40/month i was paying for Qwest for an inferior package. So my suggestion...FOLLOW ME! I'm the coolest! (Although I'm following plenty of other people...Joe...Shane...but that's just part of what makes me so cool).
And congrats to jim on winning his first beer....the count stands:
