From what I've read over the years, I'd probably use anyone but
Vonage. One quote on a VOIP board said something like that they had
the "biggest customer base money could buy" *LOL*.
A couple that you might want to check out are
www.viatalk.com (but be careful, I got nicely asked to either leave or
upgrade to the business plan because I called out more than I got
calls in and they said that my profile was "inconsistent with normal
residential use"). But in spite of that, I had excellent call quality
from them.
VOIP Your Life: www.voipyourlife.com has a good price, about the same
as Vonage, and I understand their service and support calls are
actually answered domestically without voicemail/IVR hell. Big
selling point, IMO. I'm giving thought to switching to them myself.
Packet8: www.packet8.net has also given me good service in the past.
One advantage is that they use a lower bandwidth codec. That also
means that call quality is about like your digital cellphone.
Sorry, can't remember the name of the company I signed up with after
Sunrocket went bust.
Oh, two more options:
Voicepulse: www.voicepulse.com is considered by many to be the
Cadillac of VOIP providers.
If you want a pay as you go service, check out
http://www.vitelity.net
1.4 cents/minute, all prepaid. Start your account with $35 and
recharge with whatever amount as needed. You can opt to have a phone
number to receive calls, or not, as you like.
Clearly there are several other choices, too, but those are the ones I
know a little something about.

Hey. Well since Skype took away the unlimited plan, I'm going to try
Vonage. Is there software accessible with VO, or will I be using a
phone that they provide? Thanks.
