I gave up the land line completely and for good about a year and a half ago.  Don't miss it one bit!  I only have basic cell service for two phones with no other gadgets with about 750 minutes a month and I've yet to use them all.  If fact, I have about 5000 minutes in reserve.  My cable is free because of some glitch when the house was part of a B&B.  Saves me about 140 bucks a month.  I tried to connect in my name and the cable company said I couldn't.  I gave up trying to make it right cuz no one wanted to listen.

Land lines are a thing of the past for the most part.  Society is just stuck on the old technology.

I have had Vonage for over 4 years now and have had no issues with it. I have it plugged into my router so I can power down the computer when I am not using it. My father got it after I had recommended it to him and he has connectivity issurs with his brother-in-law at times (they both live in the boonies of PA), but it works fine other than that, so I don't see that as an issue.

I have cell phones for when the power is out, and car chargers for them if battery is low. Only problem with the cells, would be from large scale black out where the cell towers are down.

Yes, Vonage has voicemail included. They even notify you by email when you have one.

Google has voice mail and even converts voice mail to text and sends you an email of the message.

I just got something in the mail about magic jack PLUS. It says you can use it with or without a computer but you still need internet access to plug it in.

Predictable, inasmuch as I have the original version.  ;D

I would go for it if I didn't have to have my computer plugged in all the time.   Bill T.
