re: #160 NJDhockeyfan

I’m not familiar with Charter. I know the old style phone companies and cable companies like Comcast and Verizon offer phone service with all the bells and whistles and are through their secure network. Phone services running through the internet like Vontage or Magicjack are not secure. Someone can hack your phone calls and listen. If you are ordering something with a credit card you just handed your number to someone else. Be aware.

Charter is a cable co. This isn’t Vonage or MagicJack, but it’s not a dedicated phone line to my apt, either, like the old AT&T lines. It doesn’t work unless my internet service from Charter is working.
