[kwlug-disc] Voicemail by email

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

It is not hard at all, as long as you do like me, and use an integrated
service (like Ooma, which I talked about earlier). They do offer voicemail
to email notification if you get their $10 a month plan (called premier).
So the total bill will be $14 a month, with Canada wide and USA wide free
calling.

Now, is that cheaper or more expensive than voip.ms or the plethora of VoIP
providers that have been mentioned here? I don't know, because the math for
the per-use voip.ms can be daunting with per minute incoming/outgoing, DID
charges, and what not.

Also, I don't want to be calculating how much I use and budget for it. A
flat fee saves me this effort. Just like an unlimited internet account
saves you watching how much you use.

Regarding POTS and power, there are cell phones for emergencies now, so the
need for a POTS land line is not as crucial.
