[QUOTE="warren, post: 2308116, member: 353462"] To secure your network, just make sure that you have encryption enabled on your wireless network. This will prevent others from using your network access. Google Voice will have their own encryption on the information sent using their service. Google Voice is free for now for calls to Canada and US but they may start charging at the end of the year. If you find that their charges would be too much you could just use your smartphone and upgrade your smartphone plan to something that will suit your needs in the future. Cloud computing is great, but don't underestimate the value of having local files. I would recommend keeping master copies on your computer or flash drive and backing up regularly to an online service. This will come in handy when you need to work on machines that do not have internet access. [/QUOTE]
