Help! Anyone Know of Online Phone Service (With a Chosen Area Code)

I used to use

service but it seems to have stopped offering such service.I already have spent hours searching around. Anyone, please tell me a site that I can get a phone number (extension ok) with my chosen area code and receive calls online from any real phone in US?

If it costs several bucks a month, it is fine. Free is better.

Thanks a lot in advance.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: There is a service operating out of the state of Washington which hands out _for free_ -- totally no charge -- one-way incoming phone numbers which translate into VOIP numbers. Even though I had a couple numbers from them for several months, I have forgotten the name. I am sure someone will remember it. If you are willing to pay a few dollars each month then there are several VOIP services around which do what you want. Use your search program to look for 'VOIP' or 'Voice Over Internet Protocol' to find them. PAT]
