Has anyone used a residential VoIP phone service that you would recommend? I had very good results with RingCentral for my business lines before I retired, but they don't really have a residential package.
We had AT&T Plain Old Telephone Service (aka, POTS or twisted copper pair) for our home number for 30+ years. I finally fired them a couple of years ago and switched our home alarm system to "cellular monitoring" and switched our home telephone number to Verizon Wireless Home Phone service. The Verizon service is basically a cell phone in a box with a RJ11 jack for an analog phone. The price was right ($20 / month instead of $55 / month with AT&T) and it worked OK for a while, but eventually started exhibiting pretty severe audio breakup. Verizon Wireless doesn't have a solution, so I am thinking about Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. I have a good internet connection, so that should not be an issue.
Any recommendations or warnings would be appreciated.
