Wrong numbers

We've used voice-over-ip technology for years now, and for the most part it does very well.  It's portable, inexpensive, and usually not much of a hassle. 

Somewhere in the last year, Matthew switched from Vonage to Voip, though, and we've had nothing but annoyances ever since.  The Voip people have screwed up my business line (twice) and recently there have been odd service things going on -- calls will go directly to voicemail without ringing, some odd clicks on the line (hello, NSA?) and yesterday, for several hours, I would get a dial tone, dial numbers, and then...nothing.  When people called us, they'd get no rings, just...nothing.   I sent Matthew a text message yesterday afternoon that just said, "I hate voip."

This morning it got really strange, though.  I received a call from the Coffee Creek Correctional facility -- staff, not an inmate, thankfully -- about why I called them yesterday.  "I didn't," I said.  The woman replied curtly, "Everything is logged here.  Someone there called us."  I replied, "Look, I'm an attorney.  I know what Coffee Creek is.  And believe me, I didn't call you." 

She hung up on me, but it makes me wonder what exactly happened with my phone number while I wasn't getting calls yesterday.  Creepy. 

We are so switching back to Vonage.

That is extremely creepy. And I thought Qwest sucked!

Weird! Very weird!
I have both, a normal land line and a voip line and I'm happy with my voip connection. It works outstanding!
