very true, i also despise this BS, and when my obi100 went out i was pissed. but looking back i thoink it was a good thing-no a great thing, almost as good as my 10yrs free phone service, but it was the kick in the pant i needed to get a phone that wasnt spyed on 24-7, who voicemails+texts, are recorded and stored forever, from a company that has proven itself over and over to be evil above all others.

callcentric has a plan (US only) $0 per month $0 setup, pay per min for $0.0198/min, they also have plans w/ free minutes for incoming/outgoing per month, they low after that (like cell companies, without overage fees, and stupid per min cost) they can also offer worldide, text, 911, buisness, not sure if they offer virtual #s, but you can port #s, so why not virtual ones too.
its a cheap as you will find, google was free cause the govermnet paid them to keep ALL your data, and hand it over.
