Verizon makes Home Phone Connect service available nationwide

Verizon just began trials of its Home Phone Connect service in New York and Connecticut in December, but it looks like it’s already ironed out any kinks there might have been, as it’s now made the service available across the entire U.S. As with the trial, it will run you $19.99 a month for unlimited domestic calling or $9.99 a month to share minutes on your existing family plan, each option of which will let you make calls using any old landline phone that’s connected to the Home Phone Connect base station (included for free with a two-year contract). You’ll also, of course, get all the usual features you’d expect from a phone service, including caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, three-way calling, voice mail, and 911 service.
