MagicJack
$35 for 1 year subscription    = $2.92 per month
$99.95 for 5 year subscription = $1.67 per month

I had them back when you had to install their customized softphone on
your computer to dial your calls.  I didn't like that setup, plus they
would auto-update their software which defeated some of my tweaks.  Now
they have a dongle that plugs into the router: Ethernet to router, RJ-11
jack to phone, USB to A/C power adapter.  Nothing installed on your
computer.  I've read where some folks will use MagicJack with their
tablets so they can make calls using their tablet.

However, as cheap as VOIP services are, you still have to pay for an
Internet provider so remember to add [a portion of] that cost when
deciding to leave the old POTS service.
