Take a look at TelaSip VoiceXpress... note that they allow a free second outgoing 'line'. »www.telasip.com/ residential service is cheap, and has been exceptionally reliable and high quality for me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14020883 Sat, 30 Jul 2005 18:16:01 EDT Re: [General] Cheapest VOIP 2nd line ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14020873 pcmeet : The perfect fit for a 2nd line is Globe7, I have 603 area code and the best US and international rates on the market.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14020873 Sat, 30 Jul 2005 18:14:18 EDT Re: [General] Cheapest VOIP 2nd line ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14019508 gnexus : MPC is $1.95 for virtual number. I believe that ties with Broadvoice and some others for lowest cost.

There is no comparison, however, in terms of reliablity. From what I understand Broadvoice has had some problems. ;)

The free offers noted in prior posts are also a good option, but they don't really qualify as a 2nd line from the same provider.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14019508 Sat, 30 Jul 2005 14:25:54 EDT Re: [General] Cheapest VOIP 2nd line ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14013798 DracoFelis :

I suggest Callcentric - »www.callcentric.com
I've been using them for the last 3 weeks or so and the quality has been great. It seems like they would be a good fit for you since they have a "Pay Per Call" rate plan where you just add a minimum of $5 to your account and they deduct from it at the end of every call.

Another good option in Teliax.com's "Pay as You Go" plan. Their minimum prepay is $10, but they look like they are slightly cheaper than CallCentric (for example: 2 cents/min USA for Teliax; and 2.2 cents/min for CallCentric).

And BTW I use Teliax.com as my "backup" VoIP provider (when my main provider is down). And so far, the quality on Teliax has been excellent as well.

NOTE: If you want free VoIP to VoIP calls, set up an adapter with "Free World Dialup". With some adapters (such as the SPA-3000 I use), you can even program in both FWD and a provider to call "normal numbers", and select which one to use at the time you dial out (by dialing special codes when you make the call).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14013798 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 17:31:24 EDT Re: [General] Cheapest VOIP 2nd line ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14012919 bumpernickle :

You can check out InPhonex ( »www.inphonex.com ). They offer their basic free service that calls InPhonex subscribers. FWD and SIPphone call dial in as well. Plus you can get a Pay as you go Plan by loading 9.95 in your account. With that you can call anywhere. Rates for the USA and other countries are listed on their rate sheet.

I have their basic service on a Sipura ATA and have had no outages that Im aware of. Makes for a nice backup line.

You'll have to ask them.

Voxee is 1.1 cents/min outgoing to the US. All you need is an available port on your ATA, an old P8 DTA310 running AR160 firmware or a computer w soft-phone like X-lite]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13988483 Tue, 26 Jul 2005 14:04:40 EDT Re: [General] Cheapest VOIP 2nd line ? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13985033 anon : My main and only line would be VOIP.

Is the 2nd line going to be your only VoIP line (where your primary line is your current POTS line)?

Is the 2nd line going to be a 2nd VoIP line (where your primary line is also a VoIP line)?

Is the 2nd line only needed as a secondary INCOMING number?

If it's needed for outgoing calls, what type of calling plan do you need on the 2nd line? (i.e. unlimited, 500 minutes/mo, etc.)
