Default suggestions for cheap phone line that's not SBC?

i have to get a landline for my home for my new job so i'm looking at options. i'll literally need to make less than a dozen 1 minute connections each month so i'm looking for the most basic, cheapest service available.

thanks!

Default dammit. had a terrible experience with them a few years back.

i will never go back to them. assuming there's a reasonable limit work will reimburse for the number, i suppose i could get comcast voice and just rarely use it.

Default well, everyone has terrible experiences with them. gotta love monopolies!

*I realize technically, due to the telecommunications act of 1995 they aren't a monopoly, but we all know the reality of the situation.

Default it's not actually for making calls, it's for uploading data.

RCN does unbundled phone services. Never tried them but their internet is excellent.
