Anyone here use Vonage?

Use it.

Love it.

Saving big $.

I use it and love it, havent had any problems with it, and I save about $150 a month from my previous phone bills (alot of LD relatives)

Use it, fucken Love it.. never had a prob. I have a local # & a toll free # that I both save money on.

Only negative that I've heard is no 911.

Wow good thread I have thought about VOIP before too, no 911 tho isnt it?

THAT"S BULLSHIT!

Vonage has contacted me MANY times over the last year to activate 911 dialing. I never bothered until all this bullshit on the news about it.

I decided to see just how difficult it really was.

Lets see....

1: Click the "Activate 911 Dialing" option.

2: Enter my address and press submit.

3: Receive confirmation email within 2 hours.

4: Point out how stupid people are if they can't figure this out. :bangshead

Thank You.

Vonage

I love it!

Thanks for the clearing that up I just remember reading some long thread about broadband phone companies not having 911 access here a few days ago.

Vonage should sue the news companies who have been running those bullshit stories.

Maybe it's because it's not activated by default thats caused the big uproar.

I have it.. I love it too.

It kicks ass but their voicemail access via their website can be a pain in the balls at times.
