Re: No I wouldn't buy it.
which begs the question, why pay for it...
Don't get me wrong if it was a full fledged alternative to traditional phone services the 20$ a month for 500 minutes or 40$ for unlimited might fly. If i have to maintain another standard phone line or cell phone in unison with the VoIP it is no longer saving me any money, its costing me more probably.
VoIP just doesn't give me the reliability i would need to switch to it, my cable modem has far from perfect uptime and it wont work when the power is out. I mean how frustrating would it be if you lose cable connection and because you use VoIP as your primary service you cant call to report it.
the only people i could see this as usefull too are people who run-up enormous phone bills really (though that is certainly not a market to casually dismiss), neat stuff... but not quite ready for the masses |
