Yes, I have regular Verizon cell phone service. Sometimes I'm on calls for work for hours during a day, and I don't have unlimited minutes. At my job, my minutes are not paid for by my employer. So I'm reluctant to use my personal cell minutes for work.

My old cell phone got real hot when I used it for more than 40 minutes at a time. I haven't tried using my new Android for more than 20 minutes or so at a time. Holding my cell on my shoulder would pose more challenges than holding a landline phone from airport lounge or hotel room to my shoulder. I have a blue tooth headset but haven't used it much.

I haven't tried the speakerphone option on my cell, but I would think the quality of call would be better for both the others on call and me if I use my headphone with mic.

While I'm reluctant to use my personal cell minutes for work, I would be glad to use my MI-FI to make VOIP calls for work.

I'm very concerned about quality of calls. Any ideas, would quality of VOIP calls be better or worse than cell calls?
