1. If you are depending on VOIP for your phone, make sure that your internet connection is rock solid; mine usually is, but occasionally I will have problems where the modem needs to be reset daily or more frequently - then the problem disappears for another good long while. AT&T first told me that I need to change my DSL filter more frequently (I kid you not! If you understand what a Low Pass Filter is you will know how idiotic this is!), then told me that I need to replace the modem at my expense. I've been in telecom for a couple of decades, I believe that they have a CO or line problem that they won't acknowledge, dynamic allocation of their DSL modems means that I'll get this one again. Service has returned to normal, for now......
2. In contrast to your experience, my free, "cheap" Samsung phone has lasted 4.5 years already. The plastic is starting to crack at the hinge and the rubber pads are disintegrating, but it still makes calls. May have to move to an Andriod phone next time.
