Re: Can you blame them? said by elray:Our Verizon landline is a tad over $17 a month. We keep it for full-duplex voice quality, call screening via answering machine, faxing, and reliable 911 service. It is no longer required for DSL, as the "naked" surchage is only $2/month. Don't know about other VoIP providers, but my Comcast line is full duplex, with better quality (even to UK mobile phones) than I ever remember getting with a landline. I prefer to use Comcast's (free) voicemail, but it works with answering machines too. And my fax. And 911 works just fine (yes, I've had to use it; yes everything came up perfectly on the other end). And it's never gone out in about 3 years. And if you want to screen your calls, caller ID is included as well. -- "Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings." |
