I am trying ACN's digital phone, will be hooking it up this week, and can let you know what I think. It connects through the cable internet. It includes unlimited local and long distance in the US, plus 70 other countries, voicemail, caller ID and call waiting, all for $29.99 a month. Calls to some other places are 20¢ a minute. I can use my exisitng landline number and will be able to take my number anywhere in the world.
