Reviews recommend Phone Power! primarily for its pricing -- $20 per month, or less with a contract ($17 per month for a year, or $15 a month for two years). However, Vonage (*Est. $10 to $35 per month) now offers basic plans that cost less. Phone Power! includes a virtual second line so two people can be on the phone at the same time, and international calls are priced very competitively. Reviews say call quality and basic features compare favorably with those of Vonage, but technical support gets mixed reviews. The same is true for Ooma (*Est. $225 to $235), but Ooma can be even less expensive, since once you buy the hardware domestic calls are free forever.
