I got a new toy today...ok, it's not really a toy, it's meant to be my business phone at home. It's a Cisco ATA for use with the Vonage phone-over-broadband service. For US$39.99 per month I get unlimited local usage and 1500 minutes of US/CA long distance. There's a bunch of other added features as well like voicemail. What I like about the service is this: it's not tied to our physical line. Should I luck out and set up an office somewhere, or work remotely for a week, I can plug it into any 10Mbs ethernet jack and receive phone service. The only downside is that this really pushes the need for solving our phone problems at the house since the Siemens handsets are dying.
