There are also lots and lots of other VOIP companies. As Lou says, one of the best (no monthly fees) is Gizmo Project. Although they charge for incoming numbers, you can get a FREE washington state incoming number from ipkall.com and point it to the Gizmo Project account instead. In other words, standard incoming US phone number rings on your computer anywhere, free.

Freedigits.net give you a free incoming Iowa number and have reasonable outbound rates, again no monthly fee.

The one I use as my main line is voipfone.co.uk, which gives me a British phone number (I get many calls from there), plus an ipkall.com Washington number pointing to the same account, no monthly fees and around 2c/min to call US/Can/Europe. Best of all it's free calling to/from my family on the same network (and Gizmo) so I usually end up with monthly phone bills of a dollar or less.

For Canadians, vbuzzer.com gives you a Toronto incoming number for a couple of dollars a month.

These voip companies I've used with non-satellite systems, so you'd need to see how they work for you on a particular setup. Best to try several that have no monthly fees. (I also use a hardware adapter that plugs into the router so that I can use a normal phone without the computer being on, makes this much more practical and lower power).

About the only one I'd now avoid is Skype - it's a proprietary system that doesn't work with anything else, and they have been making radical changes to their billing at short notice.

Gizmo Project set me up with a free Nevada number for inbound calls, ringing on my computer. If I don't answer, you can leave a voice mail and I get a immediate Email with your message as a .wav file that I can listen to by just opening.
