rafael said:I have installed a vonage phone in santo domingo. It hooks into my DSL router. I pay a flat 30 bucks per month and can call anywhere in the US and Canada . . . . .
The only caveat. . . .the power needs to be on!
The vonage phone also has a local NY area code so when I call my novia it is a local call. I save a fortune on calling cards. . . . .when there are lights;-)

Snuffy said:Rafael, Vonage...does not work without the power turned on...is that because you have no power to turn your computer on? If an invertor was installed in your home would that work or do you have one?
