[Hidden-tech] who services keeping landline number, other than phone companies (verizon, etc.)?

[Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill]

My personal experience with magic jack has always been annoyance at the
hardware setup.  While things like Vonage or Voipo were a little pricer
 they also integrated well with existing hardware.       Magic Jack  and
its software interface just didnt seem like a drop in phone replacement.
 But a great secondary or on the road cheap system :)
