I really wanted to use magicJack because it seems easy enough and I’ve heard so much about it, but it’s been over 1 to 2 years since they promised to offer the ability to keep your phone number…and they still haven’t.

Anyone have any recommendations for a voip that is easy to install, has great call quality, no problems with emergency calls (911 can locate you immediately), etc.?

How does the call get from the public Internet onto the telephone network? Does Skype (and the other VOIP operators) own equipment in each country to provide the interface? Where is it situated, in each telephone exchange, or centrally?
Mali, the question concerned calls that go from the internet to land phones.
