Re: Why does this matter.
The Internet-based VOIP providers (Vonage, Packet8, AT&T) save money unless you only pay for life-line/metered service. In STL SBC country, I can get close to my Vonage $24.99/month price if I subscribe to a local area calling plan where almost everything that isn't within a few miles is long distance. Of course this doesn't include any extras (voice mail, call waiting, long distance, etc.) If I subscribe to an SBC metro plan, it's nearly $50/month. Again, no extras are included in this cost. With Vonage I get it all for half that price.
Of course the cost (not features) between a metro plan and Vonage is the same if you include the cost of broadband. However, I want broadband anyway and the fact that I can use it to half my phone costs is simply icing on the cake I'm already eating. |
