| I'm very happy with Vonage! I've had Vonage now for over a year. I've been very happy with them.
After all the fees and taxes, my bill comes to around $24 a month for virtually unlimited phone calls (we've never come close to using all the minutes we get).
I have all the bells and whistles. Caller ID, call waiting, voice mail, etc. It was really easy to install. Just plug in the Vonage box, and unplug the AT&T phone cable at the demarc box.
Every time I get a voice mail, a WAV file of the recording is emailed to me and my wife, so we can check it from anywhere.
I've had NO issues with the service. It has always "just worked".
And back to the price, $24. Charter offers their phone service for $40 a month. I was paying almost $40 a month with AT&T, and I didn't even have long distance, caller ID, or anything else like that with them.
And of course, I can take my number anywhere. I've moved, I've changed area codes, and I've changed ISPs. My phone number has stayed the same. I'm still a local call to my mother, regardless of where I'm at in the world.
I've heard people talk about cheaper VoIP companies, but who? MagicJack? I'd have to leave a computer all the time to work as a phone gateway or something. Not a huge deal, but the Vonage router is smaller than the size of a hard drive. It is tucked away on a shelf, plugged into a UPS. I have no idea what features the other companies provide either.
Also, now with the Vonage iPhone app, I can make calls from my iPhone that show up as my Vonage HOME phone number on someone's caller ID!
