We bought it and absolutely love it. We took it to our son in England and now we can call him and he can call us anytime he wants to. It has saved us tons of money over the last 4 years.
We are now thinking of getting a second one to replace our landline.
Have never had any trouble with it cutting out or a bad reception.
Never heard anything about the drug dealers getting our number and using it---never rec'd a bill except for the annual fee.
