do I have to enter my POTS?? dood, I wuz an early ISDN adopter.

I think this is gonna rule. thing is, I'm basically gonna pay around the same amount I *USED* to pay before my suck-ass phone company flipped the script on everyone and went from a usage-based rate to a flat rate. and cuz I *never* use my land line, that change basically cost me an extra 25 bones a month. Motherfuckers. No more. kill em all.

we use the vonage. maybe for a year now. i use cable for the modem, so we totally gave bellsouth the finger and have been saving about $50 or so a month.

it sucks every once in a while. (if the cable goes down.)

my dad has done a bit of traveling for his work out of the country and he just hooks the vonage up the network wherever he happens to be and we just call his number in FL and there you go. for my brother it's a local phone call across the pond.

If you live in a home where the broadband is being abused with massive amounts of filesharing, you might have to implement some kind of packet shaping router to provide QoS for the vonage phone. Otherw- -ou mi--t get -ad -se--ice. This is an extreme case though. I had to do something similar for some friends with a house of 8 people beating the shit out of cable internet and running a vonage phone.

I've got one of those Starcom WiFi VoIP phones. It's pretty cool, but sometimes you have to be like 3 feet away from the WiFi AP, if it's a crappy AP. I hear these are being rebranded and sold through Vonage now.

i like th future of the softphone..i think vonage has one..they will all have sum version of it eventually...but to pay a few cents and be able to talk in wired zones is not so bad

four weeks pass...
dont BUY this crappy stock. VONAGE sucks! I was a customer for about at year- I was frequently told that people could not reach me (they would receive a message that my number was out of service). Migrating my number back to verizon was also a nightmare. Now to add insult to injury people on vonage can reach me- vonage claims its a verizon problem yet its clear they never updated their network routing.

VONAGE sucks they burn alot of cash for shit service. Use a VOIP provider who controls the local loop. FUCK VONAGE

they aren't a publicly traded company.

"Vonage Holdings, moved to become the first major Internet telephony player to go public by filing Wednesday to raise up to $250 million via an initial offering of stock and named a Tyco International executive as CEO. Our revenues were $18.7million in 2003, $79.7million in 2004, and $174.0 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2005," the company's prospectus says."While our revenues have grown rapidly, we have experienced increasing net losses, primarily driven by our increase in marketing expenses. From the period of inception through Sept.30, 2005, our cumulative net loss was $310 million. Our net loss for the nine months ended Sept.30, 2005, was $189.6million. During the same nine-month period, our marketing expenses were $176.3million."

one year passes...

I can't fucking get their order form to work online after putting in my Visa #, and I can't call their 800 # bcz I don't have a phone. I am ready to kill after this year of phonelessness. It is worse than living in a guano-filled cave. YET the main affordable option is just outta reach. WHy? Vonage? Why?
