About to renew for year two.

It ain't perfect, but for $20/yr. I have zero complaints.

Doesn't it require a PC to work like Skype?

Yeah, essentially the same sort of thing as Skype,
but its similar to a thumb drive, you can take it with you to any computer.

The software is simply a phone keypad, none of the extra crap skype has.
Its also a lot cheaper than skype, $20/yr. unlimited calling, voice mail, caller ID, etc..

*Update*

Recieved it last night ,plugged it in & got a dialtone in less than  minutes & made my 1st phone call.

I will have to try another handset phone & see how the outgong voice levels are. The one im using was pretty beat up & in a box of junk from the closet.

So far not bad!
