My friend, although I understand your grief, I do not understand your lack of caution, to put it mildly. How can you rely only on VoIP (whoever is the provider)? If this is a major concern to you - and I do understand that ,then VoIP is not the solution for you. One poster here was right, use the cell phone...or keep a line (POTS) even disconnected has 911, but let me tell you, not even POTS is 100% proof....
