Excuse me ,I decided to follow the links and found that this online site wants your #ss. number. This has to be a SCAM.

It is a scam, but it is also something the government actually funds:

I can see how this seems to make sense but why are they asking for you to put online your ##SS. number and then the government tells you not to give that number out to anyone.?
If this is a federal program why is it not available in All states.?

Why does a bank ask for your SS# when you open an account?
Are you under the impression that all federal laws apply equally to all states?

Newsflash, vesta--it IS real. Your tax dollars at work.
Ah, but if we protest this, Cujo will be along any second to call us all racists.

Granted, it's not the 900 minute plan. I just checked for NH, and it's a phone with about 80 minutes a month. Not a huge amount, but then again, when I first got a cell phone in 1996, I was paying nearly $100/month for that many minutes, and the phone was NOT free, didn't have a camera, was an analog, and you got about 4 hours out of one charge standby, or about 50 minutes talking.
Woo-hoo...

I use less than 60 minutes/month, which is why I use a Tracfone. For two phones we pay less than $60/mo.

We ditched the Phone Company and opted out on Vonage too :-) We went straight cell on a 4 lines for $100 unlimited everything.

I'm tempted to go with Magic Jack just because it's cheap. I'll check out Vonage.

Do NOT do Magic Jack.

When Vonage says X number of minutes, is that per month?

Horrible customer service--charges for multiple years, and they have no "live" help...just a chat.
Do a Google. Not pretty.

I checked out Vonage's cheap-ass plan. $10 a month for 200 minutes, $16 and some change after all the taxes and fees get tacked on. They claim you can take it with you but I didn't look into how that would work.
I've been on the other end of a few Vonage calls or what I assumed was some kind of IP telephony. Very, very poor quality, it was constantly cutting in and out and very choppy. I chalked that up to the person on the other end of the phone eating up bandwidth doing something else at the time. My basic cable plan runs at 3Mbps and handles audio pretty well.
