Question

Is Vonage the equivelant of using walkie talkies compared to a real phone?

Answer 1

No.  It's just like having a regular dial-up phone.  

Well, there are a couple of minor differences:

     1.  I had to dial 1 and area code for every call.

     2.  I have a fax which was practically impossible to use.

          Something to do with analog changing to digital, etc.

We ended up returning to a land line for fax reasons.

Answer 2

Actually Vonage sound quality is superb and is exactly like a telephone service but requires a internet connection.  You can hardly tell the difference.  There are no hiss sounds or delay like a walkie talkie.
