Tech Forum Folks,

I'm equipped a broadband connection, high powered labtop, and a plantronics digital headset.

Seeking your feedback on which platform Vonage, Skype, or Other is best for those wanting use the Internet for voice and fax.

Aside from stability, I understand there are tradeoffs between these Vendors; stuff like hardware requirements (modem) and 3rd party accessories.

Please help me create a "needs list" so I can get off my lazy ass!

Thanks again

While Vonage is cleary the better service, I've opted for Skype Out service as its simply cheaper.

For those interested in the Vonage V phone (keychain phone adapter), it's convenient but you'll have to pay about $50 USD in upfront costs and will be charged an additional monthly plan.

Finally a contribution on the Tech forum!

I have been recently using the magicjack. Cost about $40 and is a usb dongle that plugs into your computer. Gives you a phone number in the states and allows you to call anywhere in North America for free. After the first year it is $20 a year. The dongle has a phone jack on the end of it so you can plug a regular phone right into it. I'm from Canada but got a number in SF where my sister lives. She calls me locally for free. Only U.S. numbers at the moment. Voice quality is very good.

www.magicjack.com

The site is a bit infomercially but the product is great.
