Easy to setup Easy to Activate Easy to make and receive calls Easy to manage with online account Easy to forward calls or block specific numbers Easy to setup voicemail Easy to retrieve voicemails from your email Call quality much better than Freephoneline or MagicJack None so far

I had been with Freephoneline for a long time and had bought their $50 one time for the ATA and sip settings and had used it with no problems for first 2 years or so but once they switched to Fongo my call quality dropped and people on other end were just hearing me choppy all the time.
Before that I had been with MagicJack and I was ok with them but just didn't like the echoness all the time from both hearing my own voice and from other people hearing echoness too
What really made me switch to Nettalk was I just couldn't take the call quality and constant issues I had with FPL ATA adapter. Had to always reset the adapter whenever the dialtone stopped being heard on my phone.
Since having the Nettalk setup I immediately noticed a much louder, cleaner and crisper call quality when receiving or making calls now. It was really a big difference since I was already so used to the lower end call quality that FPL gave me all that time. This was such a big improvement for me that I went ahead and even did an auto-renewal for when my subscription will near expiring next year in June of 2014.
For the price and call quality this is by far the best one I've used and come accross.
Also: I never went with MagicJack Plus although I heard some good reviews on it. I just didn't want to chance it again
I never went with Vonage because I was with them years back paying monthly all the time and who in their right mind would pay monthly nowadays especially when Vonage is nowhere near being a replacement for an actual landline so why pay monthly for that?
I never went with Ooma because of the high device cost and again why would I when Nettalk does the job for me
I never went with Obihai even though reviews are good for it but I needed to be able to go in somewhere and walk out with an actual device not order online and sit around for it to arrive
Lastly: I've seen some reviews where users are having issues with their voip calling, connections etc. I've got to tell you I have never had those problems and it seems the people having these issues are ones that don't really understand their home network or internet connections. You really have to make sure you have a good internet speed and good upload speed to get any kind of good call quality with any voip you've got connected. If you're internet speed at home is less than 5 Mbps and don't have a decent upload speed than you definitely should be looking at upgrading your internet package with your provider rather than looking at the voip as an issue right away.
