Hello! I am attempting to join the 20th century and upgrade from dial-up internet. At the same time, I'm looking for an economical, reliable home phone service.
Currently, I have bare-bones AT&T landline phone connection that runs ~$34/month (which includes taxes). My All2Easy dial-up internet runs $5. So the goal would be to obtain both DSL and home phone for $40 or less. In addition, I would like to be able to use my cordless phone on any recommended setup.
I have seen the posts here regarding Magic Jack, but it appears to be a little less reliable. I know Ooma has an upfront cost of ~$200, but excluding that, could that be the way to go?
As for the internet service, I've read about dryloop DSL (if I were to go VoiP for phone). Not sure of the cost, but AT&T has a current deal of $14.95/mo. for DSL.
Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations!
