| Someone will buy vonage
Vonage has built brand recongnition.
Vonage will not die, but it will probably change hands.
Wouldn't it be funny if one of those telco companies buys it.

Re: Someone will buy vonage
AT&T Vonage would be brand destruction. If anybody buys it of the likes of AT&T (since AT&T is a horrible brand), they ought to hide the owners and just brand it Vonage.
We all know how dedicated AT&T Cingular AT&T the new AT&T Cingular AT&T is to its customers, and the quality of its products. When's the last time you actually knew the name of that company? AT&T is a brand that destroys the quality of anything it's attached to, so you ought to run as fast as you can away from it. When AT&T bought McCaw Cellular, they took a decent phone company and destroyed it -- I never had drops (NYC) until AT&T bought it. I switched to Bell Atlantic Mobile (NYC) and had superb service (back in AMPS days of course), wishing I had switched a lot sooner.
AT&T these days has billing errors galore. Every AT&T account anybody I know has has multiple existant billing errors at any given moment, and often worse.
How could you destroy a brand like Vonage quicker than attaching AT&T to it? |

This company's IPO was $17 a share and has never seen $3 let alone $10 since. It is run by Jeffrey Citron who paid $22.5 million to get out of trouble with the SEC.
This company also has no problems getting loads of BBB complaints and even sending Vonage to people with dialup or no Internet. It even takes longer to cancel Vonage that it does AOL. It has never made a profit.
Vonage has to be the crookedest IPO to come along since the Internet bust revealed a bunch of the most lame-brained ones.
By the way, Vonage only has $150 million in cash and that's good for one more roung of infomercials and one more quarter of dodging cancellations. 2008 will probably see its bankruptcy filing.
The Vonage is about over!

Re: Someone will buy vonage
You missed my point.
Someone will buy Vonage for their brand recognition.
The part about AT&T was just hypothetical as Vonage bashes phone companies.
Anyways AT&T (Technically SBC) is not as bad as you claim.
I have had AT&T/SBC Dsl for years and never had any real issues with service.
I had one issue and they sent a tech out the next day and installed a nid splitter and new twisted pair phone cable for free.
But I do know people who had some bad issues with their DSL and that is because AT&T allows people too far away and with bad lines get DSL without fixing their lines.
I have always had AT&T phone service and never ever had a problem with it. In fact we lost cable TV for a week from a snowstorm in the 90s and my Phone and Internet worked worked fine the whole time.

I stand behind what I say. They have been good to me. I am a tech and don't really need a call center if systems are up and running. Which have been 100%. It's down when Comcast drops that's not Vonage. So yes I stand behind them. |

Re: Someone will buy vonage
Any other garbage you want to include? I've been an AT&T Wireless --> Cingular --> New AT&T customer for over 6-years and have excellent service. My AT&T DSL service is rock solid (again, a customer for about 6 - 7 years here). I have not had any of those billing errors that everyone you know talks about.
I am by far not an AT&T fanboy. I strongly disagree with much of what they do. I have Sonic DSL service at my office, and DirecTV for television, but the garbage you are spewing is just that. |

I do believe this will pay big if they are sold. IOP bought and sold hit hi before they fizzle out. I am think
they will live through this. if every subscriber gave only $1 US they would continue to give a competitive choice. Its a smart move for every vonage customer to help Vonage return the favor, by providing a choice. when there is no
competition there is no reason to give the people better service for a decent price. |

Jeffrey Citron is Angel in comparison too the google
story above. Nice job At$-)
I remember caller ID $7-8 per month and rent equipment
plus tax on wars past wow. throw some more charges on too the pile. Competition changed all that. US government had to brake them up and needs to do It again. Look at Mexico Tel-com richest man in the world. and a monopoly

| Jeffrey Citron may or may not be squeaky clean. But definitely a good fix in a predicament as Vonage landed
up-in. Hey never did I see guilty-- smart rich man lol.
Some people need to be a little bit more dimensional
