I’ve been looking at vonage.com and what they have to offer. Wondering if anyone else uses this service and if so, what are your thoughts about it?

Also, digital phone from my cable company will be coming to my area soon. Anyone use that?

Hi, Mike.

I use Vonage and I’m 100% happy with it. It did take a few tech support phone calls in the beginning to learn how to reboot the device if it list its connection. That hasn’t happened in a very long time, though. The customer service people at Vonage were available and very helpful.

Best wishes,

My husband and I have Vonage also–have for about a year now–and really love it. You cannot beat the price: with taxes and fees and all, it comes to about $28 a month. That is for UNLIMITED free long distance anywhere in the country, anytime day or night. Also unlimited free calls to anywhere in Canada. And countries like England are only 2 cents a minute! I can call my mother in Wisconsin or sister in Iowa and talk all day for free. And I can also call Martin in London and pester him anytime I want, without breaking the bank. :smiley:

You get call waiting, caller ID, voicemail, conference calls, etc. all included in that price. The one and only drawback is that you do need a good-quality high-speed internet connection, which can get expensive, but I am spoiled now and can’t go back to dial-up. :slight_smile: We have had a few times when our power went out that we had to re-set the phone connection, but my husband showed me how and it isn’t hard.

Also, you can pick a phone number from anywhere in the country to be your home phone. AND if you are traveling anywhere in the world and happen to be someplace that has a high-speed internet connection, you can plug in your handy phone box and call people where you live as if it were a local call. When we went to Arizona for Christmas last year, we took our phone equipment and plugged it in to my in-laws’ internet and my sisters were able to call me without any long-distance fees, since it was like they were still calling Salt Lake.

And if you are referred by someone and put in their name, that person gets two months free. You also will get one month free. And if you refer someone else and they sign up, you get two more months free! We’ve gotten about 6 months free so far.

Bist du Deutscher?

No, but my wife is German, and there’s a lot of German spoken around here. There was some silliness about verb tenses in another thread.
