I can't find a standard fee on the google.

so I am asking here

You just pay the tax and fees which were $4 and some change/month for us. They have a premium plan that brings it up to around $15/month if you subscribe to that.

We recently canceled our Ooma phone service since the only calls we received were spam calls. We just use cell phones now.

This has me interested as they say you can port your current number to it.
I'm paying Verizon $27 a month for a phone I haven't made an outdoing call on in 15 years.
I only kept it because there were too many people, businesses, plus state and federal agencies I would have to give my cell number too if I canceled it. (And I didn't want to bother trying to remember them all, or want them calling my cell. But I'm at the point where I can't keep flushing $30 a month down the toilet.

I have callcentric and my own cisco voip box. I pay $3.45 a month. The phone is really only for emergencies. The box was $70 maybe.

The base phone plan with Ooma charges only government-mandated taxes. I pay $5.19 per month where I live.

These are the detail lines on my Ooma bill:

911 Service Fee: $1.00
Regulatory Compliance Fee: $1.60
Local Interconnection Recovery Fee: $1.60
Special Local- Transportation: $0.05
SC Universal Service Charge: $0.07
County Sales Tax: $0.05
State Sales Tax: $0.26
County 911 Surcharge: $0.50
SC Dual Party Relay Charge: $0.06
Total: $5.19

Here's their tax estimator .

Buy it, pay once for the box and the service, and the service itself is free after that. Pay somewhere around five bucks / month for taxes and junk fees.

I use magicJack and have been looking to switch to Ooma possibly.

MagicJack is $40 a year for service and $38 for 911 (which is optional).

I have it for 911 to the house and to give Drs, insurance, banks, etc. the folks that don’t need my phone number.

Most magicJack devices include the fist year of service.
I have had it for like 10 years used to be $20 a year and no extra 911 fee.

I ran that tax estimator and looks like I would be $7.92 a month which is more than magicJack.

Between $4.15 and $4.75
I have bare minimum, no add-ons.

I had call waiting caller I’d and voice mail paid under $5 when I owned ur unit

I'm not quite sure how I pulled it off, but I secured three Google Voice phone numbers.

Then, I purchased an OBIHAI phone (OBi1062) along with one of their OBi202. I now have three lines, one for work, one for personal and one I use as a "junk" line.

I pay Anveo $25 for E911 service each year.

Of course, I had to purchase the devices, but I am not paying any monthly fees at all.

I had to stumble through everything to get everything to work, but now I'm up and running. Saved $40 per month I was paying to Vonage for one line.

About three years ago we ported our house landline phone number to my wife’s cell phone. Worked great for us.

Nearly two years ago I bought an Obihai VoIP ATA and ported our "at&t" landline over to CallCentric.

Two lines, unlimited incoming, 1,000 minutes of N. America outgoing, cheap rates to most of the world, flawless voice quality, exceptional junk caller controls: $22/mo. Less than half of what our old "at&t" bill was for a single line of local-only service.

Un-wired "at&t"s wires at the NID, plugged the Obi ATA's connection into an existing jack, and all the traditional landline phones worked just like they always did. You'd never know I'd made the change, except now the two-line-capable phones actually had two lines.

I canceled our VOIP, and now we only have cell phones. Much better, a little less cost per month, it mainly was just a telemarketer portal.
