Vonage

We switched over our phone providers when we moved.

Here’s how it looks so far:

Utah:

Local – Qwest – $45 per month
LD/Intl – AT&T – $75 per month
DSL – Covad – $130 per month

Washington:

DSL – Covad – $130 per month
VOIP – Vonage – $30 per month

Most of our phone service was international to the UK – we made very few local or long distance calls. Now with Vonage we’re getting those as part of our plan.

The other big saving is in killing the local service. I got Covad with naked DSL (also known as a dry line) – so there’s no dial tone on the phone – just data.
