Looking at getting a VOIP phone system (Vonage, Magic Jack, Ooma)

Anyone have experience with them? Pros -vs- cons?
 
Well I've somehow avoided it for 2 years... I'm off to jury duty :angry:

The only con I heard of was that the 911 Services don't work like regular 911 like how you are connected locally, Theres a middle man.

And depending on your location you may end up with a non local exchange. When I looked into it a few years back The only Exchange available for me was a Harrisburg Exchange. which is in a different area code..
 
I currently use Google Voice, and it's great. However, As a pure play SIP service, google voice will discontinue it's service this year. I'm looking at some other SIP options, but haven't found anything I love yet. Skype dial up quality kind of sucks, however, the skype to skype quality is great. My sister is in China and we use it all the time. It's like she's in the next room.

I use FaceTime Audio, or Viber if the other person doesn't have an iDevice.
 
Who has two thumbs and has to go back to court tomorrow? This guy...
 
Never had jury duty. And so far happy to keep it that way!
 
ACE-SAT book is making me feel dumb.

what are you taking SATs for? Most nursing schools I've seen offer a pre entrance exam.
 
Aeromedical Certification Examinations and Self Assessment Tests.

I've got some time before I have to commit to nursing school. The school I'd be going to requires the Kaplan entrance exam. I've taken the TEAS before, the Kaplan is supposed to be easier.

Oh Gotcha,, I thought you meant the book "Ace the SAT" I was gonna say I thought SATs where only for High School Juniors and you wouldn't need it anyways.

taking your trying for FP-C?
 
Mhmm that was a lot more delicious than I thought it'd be. Egg salad and guacamole sandwich for dinner.
Also, i am now addicted to the show Initial D. I feel nerdy, but damn. 3 seasons in a week. Hahaha

Doing a lot better thanks for asking. Found out the ER and first ortho missed a displaced SC joint but there's nothing they can really do about it now.

Appointment with a new orthopedist next week so hopefully I'll get a timeline. Pushing 11 weeks out now so starting to have to get to the point of considering if they're going to click me over to long term disability or if I'll be back before they have to make that decision. They're having a hard time gauging a timeline since it's non-surgical and multiple small tears in multiple locations...so the stability is shot to :censored::censored::censored::censored: but there really isn't much they can do until I either fully destroy it or PT it back into stability. I feel like every two steps forward I end up taking one backwards. I miss work. Never thought I'd say that. Getting paid to do nothing was cool for about 3 weeks until I realized I had no play money, just bill money.

Whats it about?


Oh And Robb,, Good luck man, Yeah I know the feeling I was off for a lay off a few years ago, I was like hell this is awesome, sitting at home getting paid I can't beat this with a stick!!!! that was ok till I got bored as hell.
 
I'm to the point of having conversations with the dog. My girlfriend actually took the keys to my sled because she caught me working on it and it's supposed to snow a bunch this weekend.

I never realized how literally everything I do to burn time, besides drinking, involves relatively intense physical activity.
