I have broadband but comcast charges me 39.99 for this service ,So has anybody switched to this ,would like some feedback before diving in

Two Words.....Magic Jack. You can get one at best buy. I have not done it yet but I hear good things about it. It's $39.95 for the device and the first year then $20.00 a year after that.

I have DSL at home (required) and use Skype for my "home" phone service - costs $60/year for a 503 number, but I can receive/make calls on my laptop anywhere (or from any other computer I'm signed into Skype on), not just at home.

I also just upgraded my T-Mobile cell service to unlimited calling for $49.99/month.

In case anyone is interested, T-mobile's 3G rollout is continuing at a fast clip. While the Portland area already has 3G, Salem and Eugene will be lit up around June-July.

Yeah, I just got a new T-Mobile phone (as part of signing a new contract), a Sony Ericsson TM506, which is the only one of T-Mobile's 3G meager phone offerings that does "true 3G." T-Mobile tried to disable tethering (put your laptop on the internet via cell phone), but it was easy to find a way to install a default Sony firmware that allows tethering...

Anyway, if you can pick up 3G...WOW! It's pretty fast. I did one speed test that showed 1.7Mbps download speed, though more typically I get only about 700Kbps or 800Kbps. That's very usable for basic internet surfing and work.

At home (where I don't really need 3G, as I have DSL), I can pick up 3G upstairs but not downstairs (where I otherwise have great reception, just not 3G). That leads me to believe 3G reception in Portland may not be ideal everywhere yet. I have tried it in Tualatin and a few places in NE Portland though and so far I can pick it up a lot of places.

As for the phone, it's only OK. It has some great features like GPS integrated with Google Maps (not bad for a free phone), but the user interface is a bit slow, and it has a few annoying tics I don't like. Oh, well, no cell phone is perfect!

Unfortunately Tualatin is the "outer limit" for 3G at this time as you venture down south. I'm hoping when Salem comes on the I-5 corridor between PDX and there is covered.

Oh, my new 3G Sidekick arrives may 12th. For sale: Sidekick 3 (1G only) $100.
