I use Vonage for my incoming number (mainly because I started using them
years ago and I don't want to change my number); they allow multiple
incoming connections at no charge and forward to any other number at no
charge, and I have them forwarding to several other VoIP providers for
numbers at home and at work (Vonage offers forwarding to multiple
numbers at the same time, and transfers the call to the first to "pick
up").
I'm considering an "office move" back to my home and if I do that, since
I'd be moving from SB to Riverside, it would be an excuse to change my
number and to leave Vonage completely; I'll make that decision shortly.
But for now the system works very well.
This is just my two cents. Take it as you will. Knowing what I know
from working where I work you need a land line for 9-1-1 in the state
of CA. Reporting a car accident or neighbors fighting is fine to do
with a cell phone or a VoIP service like Vonage. However if you have a
chance of passing out or not being able to communicate for any reason
you "need" a land line. Have the Vonage if you like for primary use
but keep the basic phone in your home for 9-1-1 service. The
capabilities are coming for better cell/VOIP integration into the
9-1-1 system but they not in use everywhere. Its just not worth the
risk for you and your family.
