Which one is more convenient?

Vonage and Skype are cheaper, but skype looks more cheaper $2.99 per month and then per minute rate + call connection fee

What will you suggest?

I dont know of many people these days who have a land line. I like vonage since its one fee and everything is included.

Experts do say to keep landline for emergency. All the VOIP services would be out when electricity or internet is down and cell phone towers get jammed in emergencies.

I wonder if text services are affected by cell phone emergencies though 911 can't get text messages.

^ Text messaging runs over separate channels . It doesn't get jammed .
