Looking at Straight Talk home phone service. Any one use it or another type?
I use Google Voice which is free and this;
Amazon.com: OBi100 VoIP Telephone Adapter and Voice Service Bridge: Electronics
Obi100 is connected to my router. The unit plugs into a wall jack and feeds the entire house. Only issue you have is to ensure you go outside and disconnect the incoming lines from the Verizon Phone Trunk. Otherwise, if Verizon tests the line it will back-feed the ringer voltage into the Obi and fry it. Call quality is excellent, caller ID, etc. Works great even with our fax machine. In addition I also have a second number using Magik Jack...Also works great and have used it in Italy and had local calls from it.
Do you need internet service to use this?
I happen to have Metrocast. And yes you do need internet. So far its been a win-win for my wife and me at our house.
