after all of the suggestions I researched each, and have decided that either vonage or ring central would be the best options to suit my needs.
1. I can call the US for ‘free’ (obviously paying my monthly charge)
2. I can text
3. I can use the app/Phone whilst in Australia and also when I travel back to America
4. I can keep my current phone number
5. I can spend as long as I want on the phone. Skype limits their ‘unlimited’ plan to 2000 minutes per month.
and all of this is only around $30 per month!
Thank you all so much for your help and input.
I used Vonage for our home number before switching to Google Voice. We were satisfied with the service but the usage didn't justify the expense. The only issue we ever had with Vonage was porting out to the (discontinued) $3 T Mobile plan since Google Voice only accepts ports from cell numbers.
