re: Internet telephone advice(basic talk and others)

Only have experience with magic jack, but porting my number was easy. Went online and signed up for magic jack plus, opted to port my number (extra fee), and magic jack took care of it. I didn't even have to call and cancel my U-verse phone. It auto-canceled as soon as the number was ported. No difference to me at all. U-verse/Cox phone service are already VOIP.
