Currently this is what I have through SBC
Unlimted US calling.
Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Waiting ID, Three Way calling, Caller ID selective blocking, Wirepro and an unlisted number for 22.23 +4.41 in taxes (26.64)
It also gets me .01 a minute to Canada, and .03 a minute to the philipines.

Well for one I don't think many local carriers offer that low of price, I was paying over $50 for what you have with unlimited long distance from my local carrier, and the taxes are fucking outrageous. The coolest thing about VOIP is when you travel you can simply hookup to any high speed internet connection and make calls through it and receive calls through the number you always use. The drawbacks are its not quite as reliable, I especially noticed this through Vonage. Calls would drop in the middle of conversations, etc. Although it hasnt happened once since I started using a different company. What I like most about it is I'm not giving money to the crooked bastards at the phone company.
