Since my company shelled out a small fortune for an internet based phone system that works about 50% of the time, anytime the words "internet" and "phone" are used in the same sentence, a tiny dagger-like pain is felt in my gut.

The only person I'm going to struggle through a conversation with is a 9-1-1 operator. Free or not, if it's anyone else on the end of the line and words start missing and signal starts getting weak and it sounds like a cat in a blender, I'll hang up on ya, that's guaranteed. We can talk later. lol I'm just not a fan of internet phone.

I'll stick with Verizon cellular service...really don't need a home phone anymore. They have the best cell phone coverage out there, in my opinion.
