I've never used the "big names," but have a free account from a
friend's company. Seems to work fine. You can get vonage and skype
wireless phones if you are willing to pay the price. Try Skype, at
least it's free.

I think most people would be satisfied with the service, caller ID
all those bells and whistles are there... but not full 911 service in
many if not all instances. You can dial 911 and tell them where you
are, but they can't tell where you are automatically. It's the last
feature holdout that keeps people paying ridiculous prices for
telephone service.
