(We had $1200 cell phone bills during our first three months here) I have had zero problems in the 4 months I've had the unit. The only issue that I have is that the computer it's connected to needs to be rebooted every couple of days, and it takes about 5 minutes for the MJ unit to start up. Not really a big deal.
Redbeard, you might want to investigate a thin client as the computer to run your phone system. They're ultra reliable, use very little power, and are completely silent -- no fans or moving disk drives.
