Why waste money on home phone service or even vonage for that point, when you can get a Skype phone for $200 and an unlimited local and long distance plan for $2.99/month.  This doesn’t include a phone number though if you want people to call your phone.  That is an additional $60/year.  But when you break down the cost it comes out to $24.65/month for the first year.  That includes the cost of the phone which won’t be a factor for second year of service.  The second year then will only be $7.99/month.  Not bad when you consider the cost of phone service.
