Well, I bit the bullet. I'm switching phone companies as early as the end of this week. I refuse to pay Qwest more money for less service. The company I chose for my home service is Vonage. They work different than a traditional phone company. The actual phone connection routes my voice over my high speed Internet connection with voice over IP technology (VoIP). I get all the "extra" features, that Qwest would sell me, for free. And, since they don't have to own the wires that come into my house, the price is way cheaper. For $14.99/mo., I get 500 minutes of talk time to anyone in the US or Canada. Inbound calls don't count. Even going over that limit, calls are just 3.9 cents per minute. See their website for all the details. Now, the catch. I can't keep my existing phone number, because (I assume) Vonage doesn't have a switch in my local exchange. My number is actually a Sioux City number, so Sis can call me for free... :)

I expect the phone router any day now, I'll let you know what I think of it when I get it installed.
