Carrie,
on packet.net there is no counting minutes.
$20.00 per month unlimted usa / canada.
Vonage has a few more features, like adding a fax line for 9.99 a month or getting the biz package, with a free fax line.
Remember the vonage 911 doesn't work exactly like normal 911, I mean you activate it, pick the closest 911 center to your home, but from what I have read it doesn't all work right.
Read up in the voip forum at,
www.dslreports.com for some good info on lots of voip providers
