    I don't have it yet, but I have looked into it. It's like $60 or so for the 1st month for their equipment, and like $30 a month after that.

    I have abuddy that has it and loves it though. You can also pick your number too, whether it's local where you are at, or local for family that lives far away (so it's not long distance for them to call you).

    As soon as we move, we are signing up for it.

    I know that doesn't help much, but I am glad to know I'm not the only one, who's intrested in it.

    i thought about getting this at one point. but it works with your broadband, so if your internet goes out you are basically fucked.

    works for the internet company since you can't call them and bitch them out.



    I dunno. i mean i guess it could be a hell of a deal but I like knowing my phone works even when my net doesnt.

    Vonage is VOIP. If you have any problems PM me. I'm the VOIP god (i have a fifteen inch VOIP penis).

    I have a friend who has it and it sucks. If you move too far away from the "box", you break up and get static. I've been on both the sending and receiving ends of that phone set up. I wouldn't waste my money right now.

    I pretty much echo the sentiment Tart made, plus I watched a specialon Dateline I believe it was, about how many people with Vonage and VOIP lines could not call 911 or emergency services.

    I'd say just give them time to improve on things before you go with them. I've heard some good & bad, but as of yet, it's been mostly bad. Wait it out a bit.

    I have it, and I like it okay. I had one outage and some dropped calls when I first got it, but it is fine now.

    I agree about the limited mobility, but I live in a two story house, so I'm never very far from the box.

    Features I really like:
    -Email notification of new voicemails.
    -being able to check your call activity and vioce mail online
    -I have unlimited minutes and free domestic long distance
    -I have it hooked up to both my fax and my phone with a separate # for the fax for slightly more per month
    -Call forwarding is very easy

    My favorite is that it is great for business. It has a lot of business features like scheduled voicemail messages (one for business hours, one for after hours etc.), call forwarding with a return to voicemail if the call is unanswered (instead of being forwarded and jumping into the forwarded viocemail). I also really like that you can pick your area code. If you have a lot of friends and family in a particular city you can pick that area code for you phone, and they can call you w/o being charged for long distance.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    This one's free for computer to computer calls.

    You have to pay to call to regular phone lines, though.

    I've been tempted to try it, but I guess I need someone to hold the can on the other end of the metaphorical string and haven't really put any effort into it.

    I am a big fan of skype. Anything like that that's pay per use is ok with me. Bah 40/month land lines can eat me. 911 is for my cells.

    I use it for business. The quality is superiour to anything I used to have before. I have 2 virtual phone lines. 1 in UK 1 in US. I have a second VOIP line for Home, known only to my closest friends and family and is always on, my business phone is almost always off, when I'm at my desk, I take it, when not I don't. I love the fact that there is no spam on it at all, because nobody knows it, my old phone is constantly off and there is nothing but spam on it. That's my experience.

    [BUMP]

    I wanted to know if OTB or anyone else decided on getting Vonage. I am on their website right now, and I"m VERY tempted to try it. My current phone bill is like $95/month. I have internet and unlimited long distance. I'm tired of paying that much.

    Any updates??

    CK,I never did get it yet.I've been getting mixed reviews on it.I hear you can't dial 911 on the Vonage line but then I also hear it's so much cheaper.I dunno.The one thing that confuses me is they say you can have a Vonage line if you have internet already,so my question is,how am I am supposed to have internet already via DSL and still have Vonage??????

    ^^ My cab driver has the internet through Vonage too. It's like an additional $20 or sumthing like that. He LOVES it.

    An additional $20 a month is still a Hell of a lot cheaper than regular phone service.Hmmm,I may need to rethink this.....

    Got this per their website : You must activate 911 Dialing service in order to have access to 311 Dialing services. To activate 911 Dialing, you'll just have to fill out a short form during the sign up process that tells us your street address. If you are an existing customer, you can activate 911 Dialing from the features section in your web account. This information will then activate your 311 Dialing service. When you dial 311, the call is routed to the local public information service center designated for the address you register on file here.
