Yes, that's one of the *many* limitations to the service. The thing is, 
you will almost always still have a phone line. If you're on ADSL, 
that'll be your line or if you're on cable broadband, you would very 
rarely have it without cable phone.

One of my favourite VOIP websites, for a UK firm offering it, said, "get 
rid of your BT line and make phone calls over ADSL". Now, tell me how 
that works :)
