Though the service isn't available in my area code yet, I'm considering the service if it ever comes here.
Was wondering if anyone here has any experiance with their service. For phone and fax with my current teliphone company, I'm paying about $71.00/mo. Based on the Vonage plans, phone and fax through them would cost $35.00/mo for the unlimited plan or $25.00/mo for the 500 min plan. Either way, it would end up saving ~$430-550 per year. |

I was looking at this over the weekend and would also like to know what anyone's experience with Vonage has been like.

I looked around the Vonage site and it doesn't mention what the equipment charges are. I got as far as the sign up page and didn't see any mention of the cost. I saw an add in the TigerDirect catalog where there was a full rebate on the equipment, so I am wondering if buying retail might be a better way to go.

One of my friends has vonage and he loves it... I've been on the phone talking to him 1000 times and it is clear as a bell... I don't remember the charges but he told me that it was as cheap as phone service is gonna get and wants me to convert as well... I'm considering it

It may not be a whole lot cheaper for you D3. cause a large part of your phone bill cost is tennessees stupid library internet tax. They charged $20 tax on our basic long distance. But if you dont have to pay that tax with vonage it would probably be cheaper.

Then it came back. So I deleted it again. |
