[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 274455, member: 6546"] CTMom-- I had never heard of "dry loop" service....it sounds like a good in-expensive alternative. My only experience with Vonage is through friends/neighbors. One subscribed to Vonage, was told she could port her number from Verizon and still use Verizon as their DSL provider. Wrong!! When Vonage could not port the number (due to it being "attached" to the DSL)--Vonage automatically assigned her a new phone number instead. It was a mess she couldn't straighten out--so she dumped Vonage within a few weeks. Another neighbor had Vonage. LOVED it. No complaints....until a major storm knocked out power in our area for several days. As soon as their cell phones died--they were knocking on our door each time they had to make a call. Thank goodness they did not have any kind of emergency during that time! I like the idea of saving money, but I worry about the limitations of internet-based telephone service....so we are keeping our land line until all the issues are figured out. Good luck! Let us know how it works out... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
