I left Time Warner cable for U-verse video service. That requires a switch to U-verse internet also. Without bundling TV and Internet, TW's VOIP jumps up by $10/month and becomes a weak value. Unfortunately U-Voice was not available. Users on this site recommended I get CallVantage. CallVantage offers the unlimited plan to AT&T Wireless and U-Verse customers for $19.95/month. I called CV to place the order and spoke with a very pleasant but extremely thorough agent.
Time Warner's digital phone offering worked amazingly well, but was little more than a POTS replacement when it came to features. CallVantage is loaded with tricks and features. Voicemails (included in package) can be sent as email attachments. You can have it ring multiple phones to track you down. You can go to your online phone book and "auto dial" by clicking a link.
Initially there were call quality problems due to issues with my U-verse internet service. As soon as AT&T fixed whatever that was, my CallVantage call quality has been pretty unshakable.
So, for less money per month, I now get unlimited US calling and more features at the expense of some dependability. I have a cell phone that mostly works here, so I can live with that.
