VoIP

Today 2 guys came to our house and wired all the phone-jacks around the house to go through a small black box sitting next to our DSL modem. Today we were the first paying VoIP customers in town with a local number (I’m sure some people have Vonage.)

It’s awesome. The quality is perfect and I can do fancy things such as “if work calls, send them to voicemail” or “if my parents call, and I don’t answer, send the call to my office phone, followed by my cell phone” and stuff like that.

And on top of that, it’s half the price of our regular calling plan that we had with SBC.

Update: Today we are finally 100% SBC-free so of course I just got a call from SBC telling us that DSL is now available in our area. I said “we just canceled your DSL service and switched companies”. “You did?” “Yes.” “Oh. Thank you!” You are welcome SBC, you are welcome.
