I cannot answer your specific questions about those particular services. However, I can say that this is one area where we have been able to cut our expenses over the years. Commercial phone service in Ohio is expensive - my monthly phone bills including long distance averaged about $300 for two lines with features like roll-over, voice mail, etc. We switched to Vonage and our bill is now about $90 with unlimited long distance and for our faxing, we switched to an e-Fax service (www.myfax.com) which costs us about $20/mo.
Of course, to do VOIP phones, you have to have a high-speed Internet connection - which we already had, so it was not an added expenses.
We have been very happy with our current system and I cannot see ever going back to our local phone company. We have had a few issues - sometimes our VOIP phones loose their connection, but this is usually easily rectified by rebooting the device and it doesn't happen all that often. A bigger problem is that if you lose power, or your Internet connection goes out, you don't have phones. But, we have a back-up generator and our Internet connection (T-1 line) has been very reliable.
Best,
