Calling
I explored my communications options and the various providers. Going with the local telco's bundled package of Internet and phone has a base of $69/mo. The cable provider is similar.
Where the difference lies is the cable operator offers an Internet only plan for $29/month (10/2).
Knowing this I turned to VoIP providers. Two came to mind: pay all at once up front or pay recurring monthly with costs comparable to a phone company's. No go.
So I took a chance on Ooma. Bought a refurbished unit (saved $40!). If the company lasts at least 7 months it will have paid for itself.
Let's hope I can figure out the technical side of how to configure it!
