I was looking at $15 a month from Vonage, which includes 500 minutes of outgoing calls. I know one person using it that says it has been fine, but you knowing a couple in the area that have had issues makes me hesitate a bit. Keep me posted on your AT&T experience. I'll probably wait another month or two and get some more feedback from you and the guy I know. Pricewise, Vonage is the way to go, but not if quality is going to be an issue.
