In fact, of course, the cost for calls is 25 agorot/min, not 0.25. Makes a 
difference.

For comparison, using the VoIP connection I already have, and adding an 
Israel DID number would cost $5/mo for the DID (~NIS20); price for calls 
is $0.019/minute (~8 agorot). The advantage, although it won't change my 
financial condition, is in favor of VoIP.

That the ASDL modem I have from Bezeq is the same one I would get for 
Internetto, so I don't see that there are any additional infrastructure 
costs for Bezeq; I would not need equipment for VoIP.

The VoIP solution also relieves me of extra charges for "other carriers", 
i.e. for the privilege of calling this or that cellular company.
