I have a Magic Jack account and yes, it is what they claim it to be.
I have all you describe, and more, but for a single phone. NOTE >>You
can not split the signal into multiple phones like a land line, but
you can run a single base station with a bunch of cordless phones. I
am running it from a old Thinkpad T23 running XP PRO that I also run
security cameras on. Of course, if your internet connection is down,
or your PC is not running neither is the phone. With Magic Jack I can
move it to whatever PC I want, it creates two virtual CD drives and
runs from that. I like it so much I paid 60 bucks for a five year subscription.

Has anyone had any experience with Ooma or any of the other internet
voip telephone products? They claim that with a one-time purchase
of the Ooma device that you can basically disconnect the phone
service and everything will run over your high-speed internet. They
claim you can have the same services such as call-waiting, caller
ID, 911 service, along with unlimited local and long distance
calling across the US for free, meaning just the cost of the
high-speed internet.
Thoughts?
