I'm considering cancelling my landline and going to VoIP for my local phone service. I was wondering what some of the pros and cons might be, and what company you use.

We use it at work and I have a "softphone". If you do VOIP, get a hard lined phone. The softphones are disruptive on my computer, if I'm typing along the phone rings and I disconnect people all the time because I'm typing while it starts ringing. The other problem is that if i'm using alot of system resources, I miss calls even though I sitting right there because the computer and phone fight for system resources (screen sort of freezes) and I can't get to it on time.

Pretty much almost all big businesses and even some small businesses using VoIP mainly because it is cheaper. Still there are many problems with VoIP. The voice quality depends on the IP-PBX, the IP Phone, and other network stuff. Skype has the best voice quality. Everything else is decent. The best part about VoIP is all the features, such as conference, video conference, transfer, personal voice mailbox, caller-id, encrypted calls, VLAN, VPN, network handover, etc for a lower price.
And if your talking about Vonage, there is 911 calling problems.
Overall, VoIP is still considered new in the US. The technology is still maturing in the US.
