Re: Be Careful of Vonage America The original poster said that this was Vonage Dial-Up internet access.
Covad would not be involved with dial-up.

Please re-read all of the posts, then tell me if any of this story makes any sense to you.
Vonage provides phone service over the internet, NOT internet service itself. At least not Dial-Up. |

The OP's story is indeed fishy, but I was replying to your statement that "They do not provide internet ACCESS by any method".
And BTW, Covad does indeed offer dial-up service. It is automatically provided to all their broadband customers, and it can also be purchased as a stand-alone product even though it is not advertised on their web site. I would think that since Covad automatically provides dial-up service to their own broadband customers, that it would not be inconceivable that it would also be offered to the joint Covad/Vonage customers.

| I can't have the money owed to Vonage to come out of my checking/savings account. I had to give them my credit card number. I find it strange that the OP was able to have his payment to come out of the bank. |

In the US, many (if not most) banks issue ATM/Check cards to checking account holders that can be used for any transaction just like a credit card except that the charge goes directly to your bank acount.

| Maybe Visa/MC do offer those ATM cards here in Canada, I have a credit card and an ATM card so never needed to enquire about them. |

The Mastercard (Visa)/Chequeing Card was available in Canada a long, long time ago. This was at the time that stores only took credit cards, money or cheques. Then came the credit card cheque debit card, but 3 or 4 years later, interac came around, and everyone could use the Debit Card to make purchases everywhere, so no need for the credit card debiting your chequeing account anymore. That was a mouth full. Anyway, I am not sure why Vonage and companies like Sirius have issues using Canadian banks, but I gather they think the credit card thing is a lot easier.
