Does anyonw care to comment on Vonage Phone Service?

Question

I cancelled my cable phone bacuse in the first year I lost electricity and could not use my phone because that battery back up went out. Also when cable is down, so is my phone. I have a new phone service called Blue Casa. It is really reasonable, but because I have life line service I cannot get an all in one plan for unlimited long distance and local service. I do get 150 minutes of long distance each month buy have gone over and my phone bill has been as high as 70 dollars.

I have though about getting Vonage Phone service. I don't use credit cards, but an willing to buy a prepaid card if the service from Vonage is really worth it. Please reply! Thanks

Answer 1

Vonage isn't the only kid on the block offering good VoIP service.  Here is a few other "home phone replacement" VoIP services:

InPhonex:  http://www.inphonex.com/

CallCentric:  http://www.callcentric.com/

Packet8:  http://www.packet8.net/

Answer 2

Sorry I wish I could help but I have no clue about their service.  I am always seeing commercials about it but nobody I know has it.  That might be a clue that it is not very good but good luck with your decision.

Answer 3

My husband and I have been using Vonage for a little over a month.  We are in Germany, but have a US phone number.  It is absolutely wonderful.  So far, I have not had any interruptions or problems.  Plus, you can view incoming and outgoing calls (almost instantly) if you log into your account online.  I love this feature.  It's my first "internet phone" but like I said, I love it.  Our first bill was only $32 after tax, which is completely reasonable for unlimited calls from Germany to the States.

We also have friends (we're military) who have used it for longer periods of time with no problems.
