GVapp + Record Function
I started to send a PM to redpepper asking if he knew of a way to record with Google Voice or if it could be added to his app. I wanted to avoid the inevitable discussion of legal issues with recording phone conversations that go on ad nauseum. But I decided, instead, to put it out to the forum. I ...

Stating The Obvious
Of course you have to have high speed internet access for voip, but sometimes it's easy to take for granted. One of the benefits of POTS is that it works even when the power goes out, and of course there's nothing to charge unless you're using a cordless handset. The other day my Fios router went ...

I still think Ooma would be your best bet. Once you bite the bullet and pay for the hardware, the monthly for their basic service is $3.68. That includes 5,000 minutes. Also, they charge a nominal fee to port your number, but it's do-able. If you shop around, you can usually find a deal. http://www ...
