If you already have a high-speed internet connection at home, then you might as well take advantage of that speed and save some money on your home phone service. I use Vonage and it saves me a ton of money.
They offer an unlimited calling plan for $25 a month, or the plan that I use, 500 outgoing minutes, for $15 a month. I had been paying about $40 a month for my crappy, no feature phone line, from Verizon. Then I had to pay long distance on top of that.
Since my incoming calls are free, and outgoing calls to 800 numbers don’t count against my minutes (like they do on my cell phone) 500 minutes a month is plenty for me. Even if you have to go for the $25 unlimited plan, it’s still probably much cheaper than what you’re paying.
When my cable company called me to describe the “great” deal they were offering for phone service, I actually talked the woman who called into switching over to Vonage because it’s such a great deal. In addition to the phone service, you get voicemail (which can be retrieved through the phone or through the website) call waiting, call forwarding, 3 way calling, and more.
One final feature that I love is that I can take my phone with me. If I travel for extended periods, I could bring my Vonage along and hook it up where ever I’m staying. My phone would ring just like it would at home and no one knows that I’m not there. If you’d like to try Vonage, send me an email ( service at spindage dot com) with the subject “Vonage” and I’ll send you a referral link for two free months of service.
