I set up a Voice Over IP phone system at home a few weeks ago. It's a little cheaper than our regular phone service, but now we have all the cool little extras like Caller ID, voicemail, and some stuff I don't use like 3-way calling, plus we have unlimited long distance. Oh also, I can access a list of the incoming, missed and outgoing calls online. It's a little Big Brother for myself, but with teenagers its more like "Big Mama". It helps me spy on them!
I didn't cancel our landline yet (just in case), so I set up those calls to auto-forward to the VoIP number. Except for having to use 10-digit dialing (as in, area code for local calls, too. Grrrr!), it's been working pretty well. There are some minor (curable) issues like the Republicans keep calling to remind/threaten me to vote tomorrow. I can't wait till that's over! I accidentally hung up on Arnold, he's the only one of those calls I like. Just hearing him say Cawli-FOR-nya over my phone is amusement enough to listen. I chuckle, hang up, and The Husband says "Who was that?" as I walk off. I just matter of factly say "Schwarzenegger", as if he calls me all the time. Every November, anyway.
