[Hidden-tech] Seeking Less Expensive Phone Options

[Tom Adams / Reelife]

Joan & Steve,

I know you said that newer technologies don't work as well since you're in Northfield, but "Vonage" might be something to look into since it's based on your internet connection and you're happy with that service.  I've been tempted by Vonage for some time now, but haven't made the switch quite yet.  
not sure what others experience has been using Vonage...


 Regards,

Tom Adams
