Alternative Home Phone Services-HELP
 

For years my cell has been my only phone. NOW....I kind of need one, but the stupid thing is that I'm only home about 10 days out of the month, I hear the buzz about Vonage, SKYPE for home, etc.

IS there a service where you only pay by usage and not monthly? I know you can make PC to PC/phone calls using skype online but I need a hard-line into my place but really don't relish wasting money (even though cheap) on something that will not be used frequently.

:helpme

really don't know what to suggest. I use vonage but if you'll only use the phone 10 days a month not sure its really what you're looking for

Get a magicjack, they have a deal right now that you pay 59 bucks for 5 years of service. Unlimited local and long distance etc. Nice service. I have it running on one of my macs I leave on the time and have a cordless base station plugged into it with 4 handsets. Works like a charm.

I also have skype, that I use to call out using my headset in my office. something like 20 bucks a year, and even though I like it, I'll be dropping it since getting the magicjack
