| Just Ordered Vonage I live in Illinois, however I work, play, and am friends with people in St. Louis. They don't like calling me at home beacuse of long distance. I just got a St. Louis line from Vonage. I am thrilled that I now have a number that is local to all my friends and work, along with a bunch of relatives. My mother lives in Manhattan, so I plan to add a virtual Manhattan number so so can call me with a number that is local to her. If all goes well I will say buh-bye to SBC as a local carier, It does no good for me. I am thrilled, can't wait for my order to arive. Last thing I thought of... I have the Charter 256/1.5-3 M plan, that is enough beef for it correct?

| It should be pretty fast, the cisco machine arrived in 2 days tops. We have had Vonage as our only phone line for a few months now, and it's working wonderfully. Quality of the line very good, costs down dramatically, lots of features we didn't even before for free (ID, call forwarding which is absolutely great). We do a lot of international calls, and save there big time.
As for the 911 issue, which I have seen mentioned in other threads, we have cellular phones that work well in the house, have thought the kids to use them. Also, we emailed our local
Police Dept. and they gave us a pre-911 emergency number they still monitor.
Overall, Vonage has been a great experience, incredibly smooth for an Internet based operation.
All the best for your connection. |
