Re: Skype/Onesuite Versus Comcast Digital Phone

 
Getting an all voip service to replace your landline depends on how
you use your phone. If you have a mobile phone then its safe to do but
if the voip service is all you got then its quite risky as voip
depends on internet and power. Either one of those fail then you will
have no phone service at all. Comparing Onesuite and Skype has its own
pros and cons. I use Onesuite in favor of Skype because its better for
my calling habits. SkypeIn is $18/3 mos or $60/year (http://
www.skype.com/prices/) which you get a phone number and unlimited
calls to landlines in US. You need to buy a Skype credit to call other
numbers (mobile phones or international numbers).

For Onesuite voip (http://www.onesuite.com/access_VOIP.asp ) you pay
$2.95 a month if you want a voip phone number and outgoing calls are
pay as you go basis.If you will just use it for outgoing calls then
you don't need a phone number then you can skip the $2.95 a month fee.
You may also request to port your current number fro free to your
Onesuite voip account if you want to retain your current phone number.
On top of that, your account is also good for their prepaid phone card
service (which is their main product) which comes handy if you find
yourself with no internet connection but with phones around
(payphones, house phone, etc)

If you intend to use a voip service, then I suggest you check your DSL
speed as voip will work better on 512kbps connection but can get away
with only 384kbps connection but don't expect a good call quality all
the time.

 
Yes look for reviews, ask around and finally call the customer support
and see if how long they answer the calls. These things helped me to
choose which company to go. I went with Onesuite because of the
factors above.
