jjfrisk:
Once again thanks for such quick responses and good information. I don't know why I have never heard of the OBI products before, but it just seems to be the way to go.

Thanks,

jj

Since my internet comes over my phone lines does that pose any problems?


If you want to keep your phone number, then the answer is yes.

I've just gone through this process with a friend, and it is a pain. The reason is that there is catch-22... You can't port the number if there is a service associated with it (namely, DSL), and you can't convert your internet service to "Dry loop DSL" if you have phone service. At least AT&T makes it very difficult.

DSLR forum has many posts on the topic.

On the other hand, if you have your new VoIP number for awhile, and your friends and relatives switched to it, and you don't mind giving up the old number - the answer to your question is no. You call AT&T and cancel phone service, and switch internet to dry loop (Note: anything can go wrong when you are dealing with AT&T - but that's a different topic)
