CallWithUs is a smaller provider but offers great VoIP services at excellent prices. For outgoing service, there is not even a monthly fee, and per minute charges are excellent.
I have had the service for a few weeks, and have never had a problem. Call quality has been quite good on almost all calls. Only a couple of dropped calls.
They are very responsive to questions, and respond quickly by e-mail.
The website does not look fancy, but that's not the point. It just works! This provider emphasizes function over flash.
Payment is by Paypal or GoogleCheckout, so there is no worry about your credit card.
Signing up does require that you have some knowledge of VoIP, but presumably if you are reading this website, you DO have some knowledge. This is a provider where you bring your own device (BYOD). It's actually quite liberating to know that you own your device and have successfully programmed it! But you do need to be able to follow configuration instructions and tweak around a bit. It's worth it.
Think of the old show Gilligan's Island. Ginger was flashy, but for a dependable reliable partner you'd want to go with Mary Ann. That's what CallWithUs is.
UPDATE: 06/17/2008: Service continues to be excellent! Just a couple of additional points: If you need incoming service, CallWithUs does offer DID numbers at good rates. They are also very flexible, because if you wanted, you could get a DID from another provider and direct the calls to your CallWithUs account using the SIP address. CallWithUs does not charge for that. I have received incoming SIP calls from an outside service and it has worked fine.
UPDATE: 07/02/2008: Continues to work great. This is a service for those who want a phone to be a phone, not a toaster. "All is well, clear as a bell".
