Howard,

I switched from Charter cable phone service to Magic Jack plus over a year 
ago and found the service to be ok, but voice quality was not as good.  411 
service only covers businesses.  If you get Magic Jack, I'd get the plus 
model and you can hook it up to your router and don't have to keep a 
computer on.

I just switch to Google Voice using an OBI talk202 voip box.  The Google 
Voice quality is much better, but no 411 service and I use the old tell me 
service that has a new phone number which is
888247-2425

At the present time Google Voice is free and you should be able to get a 
local number in your area.

I am thinking of reducing costs by going to Magic Jack.
The other reason is that my Roadrunner phone service is absolutely terrible.

My magic jack question is, How is their directory assistance?
The other question is, do calls drop out if they are long?  I read newsline.
