[Charlug] voip reccomendations

[Sean Hogston]

Normally yes but since we have had 5 different cell providers and that
all have a shit signal at best in our house the POTS line is the only
safe way. 

And that only came about with the addition of the 2 little ones running
around now :) The final straw was our second one almost arriving at home
and I had to go outside to get a cell signal and call 911. The ambulance
got Ali to the hospital just in time as Matt was born less then 10
minutes from her reaching the ER. As much as it hurts me to give Bell
more a month then 2 of my VOIP providers combined I cant take the risk.

Just depends on how much pain/risk you are willing to take for the
savings.
