We switched over to Vonage for our home phone service - not liking it so much....The idea was to save money on our phone service and it does at $24.99 a month can't be beat! However now I refuse to use our home phone and only use my cell now. Here's the problem we have had.Static and echo on the line. I can't hear people and they can't hear me. We have tried speaking with custom...

When I first heard of VOIP I was a bit skeptical. Basically you use your internet to call unlimited anywhere in US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. I decided I would give Vonage a shot, after seeing the commercials on tv.The basic package I purchased was at Staples. It cost me approximately $60 and came with the start up package and a Linksys router. Included in the router was the abili...

After doing battle and fighting with AT&T, we closed our service and tried Vontage VoIP phone service.  Time Warner had not yet gotten their digital phone service set up in our area, and we needed a phone.  Vontage offered unlimited local and long distance at a reasonable price.  It sure sounded like a great deal.Features of The Motorola VT2442 Phone Router Which Vontage Supp...

I am sure everyone who has cable has received offers in the mail from Vonage to save up to 60% off their phone bills by using VOIP... not to mention they toss in the "get first month free".  Well my family was persuaded into that deal. Let me tell you this, the first month free is a crock. Your month starts the second you agree to use them and includes the time it takes for them ...

Way back the beginning of 2007 Rogers came for a visit to inform us that they were going to install a Voip system, ridding us of the land line that we'd had with them for awhile.  I had mixed feelings about this due to the fact that someone I knew had a Voip system and to be honest it was terrible.  Of course they were with a different company and to-date we'd always had excel...

Skype is the best VoIP software out there. The software is used today to make phone calls to PCs, with high clarity (more than you can achieve with others like messenger softwares). The software can connect you to any PC anywhere around the world, and you can chat or talk (if you have a microphone). You can make calls all around the world for free.  The coolest thing about the softw...

First the good...  when I needed to add a new phone line at home for business, it was quick and inexpensive to go with Voip, especially since we ALREADY had high speed internet/cable modem.  I didn't care about porting a number, so I had my choice of phone numbers and area codes.  The adapter from Voip arrived quicky and was VERY easy to hook up.  I bought a new cor...

Since my husband travels a lot because of his job we decided to purchase a Skype plan las year. Not being too telephone internet savy at the time, we had no idea that even though we bought a Skype plan we would still need to use a 'special' phone to connect to our PC. This commenced the 'Search for the Perfect Skype Phone!'Our search took us to Circuit City, a local electro...

I've been using Skype for aorund a year now, for various things.  Mostly to chat while I play games online, or just to have group conversations.  The ability to call landlines with it is very nice and you can purchase a year's worth of unlimited landline phone calls to the US and Canada for relatively cheap.  Lots of headsets you can buy are "Skype Approved," wh...

Well I've gone and done it! I dumped my landline for Magic Jack! I just got it today and it's working great! I just plugged the Magic Jack USB device into my computer USB port and plugged my telephone cord into it. Once the device is plugged in, it installs software to get it up and running. You register your device and then you recieve your new phone number, of which you can even choos...

We have had Vonage for almost 3 years now. We don't make a lot of calls but we needed a land line in our home. The cost of the basic service runs $24.99 and with taxes and other charges the total we actually pay each month is a little over $30.00. When you sign up, you get your first month free and when you refer customers to them and they sign up, you get free credits as well.The service i...

For a few years, we did without regular phone service and only used cellular phones.  At times, we found it inconvenient, especially when a tower was not working.  When we moved, we opted for Vonage VOIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Phone. The price of Vonage is what attracted me to this service.  For $24.99 plus tax per month, you get unlimited free long distance to any...

I've been using Vonage as my sole phone provider for both business and personal calls for almost 2 years now. I have to say that I was far more enthused with my service during the beginning of my time with them than I am now. I moved from a sparsely populated area with very little competition for bandwidth to a densely populated area with less available bandwidth and found that the quality ...

Skype as we all know, is the largest VoIP provider in the world.Pros: Signing up for skype is as easy as ABC. It runs on most Window system. It claims that it is a secure communication because users are not involved in the encryption process.The huge plus point for Skype is, it provides free PC to PC call even though we are continents apart!. I found that the audio quality is more tha...

The vonage device is terrible. connections are simple enough but the device is unreliable. I have heard similar horror stories about this router. When I first connected with vonage they offered the small Lynksis gateway that didin`t work at all, either the other party could not hear you, or you could not hear them!... I have since returned that unit and now have the unit I am describing. I have...

We were looking at purchasing web and video conferencing software at work. As part of the search I was able to try the Macromedia Breeze product. Macromedia Breeze is an all in one solution offering not only web conferencing but also video and VoIP conferencing, document sharing, chat and whiteboard. You can have up to 10 people online in your meeting. The Presenter log...

Tonight, we had a telemarketer phone us trying to sell my husband a cheep long-distance plan.  The one-sided conversation I heard went something like this, "Well, can you beat our current plan of $3/mo. for 10,000 minutes?""No, not 1,000, 10,000....""No, no, we don't pay a monthy fee or a service charge.  Just $3."*silence*"Ok, you have a nice ni...

I have had Vonage for many years. But I was ready for a change and wanted to take advantage of eliminating one bill. So I decided I would take the plunge and get the special from my local cable company. I decided to get Comcast Digital Voice.The installer showed up to my house on time, and pulled out the Comcast Didigtal Voice modem. My first impression was that this RCA modem is HUGE. Now...

OneSuite.com is a very inexpensive and flexible way to make long distance phone calls. I have been using OneSuite since 2001 as my sole source for making long distance calls within the US and for international long distance calls. There are several technology options - I use the prepaid long distance method. This is similar to a prepaid phone card. However, calling OneSuite a phone card is rea...

Onesuite is mainly a prepaid long distance phone card company that added several features over the years. They got voip and fax features aside from the main phone card service.Onesuite dived into VoIP scene early last year but its limited to their beta testers and some customers, I've been privilege to try their VoIP service and report bugs or what not whenever I encounter one. Early t...
