I'm looking on switching to vonage from sprint in las vegas. I checked out vonage's web site and got alot of info but i'm wondering if you guys have any tips or tricks on buying equipment? or how to save money on start up costs. Thank you very much for the info guys! I've been coming to this site for years becuase of the wealth of infomation eveyone brings here.

Las Vegas, NV | I know about that but I feel it's better to ask a person who has the service already what they think. I like to know how the average person using the services thinks of it. that was the point of my question. |

clubs:  | Why have you decided on Vonage? There are several other (maybe better) carriers out there.

If you are a home user then you should not worry about buying equipment really. Most services will give you thier adapter and let you use it until you cancel the service. You can even buy the adapter for yourself and keep it forever in Best Buys or Circuit City with rebates they have. The choice is up to you. The ones you can find in store are Packet8, ATT Call Vantage and Vonage. I would stick with one of these two..Vonage or ATT Call Vantage...obviously my choice would be ATT CV since I use it and love it..

I ws going to go retail and buy the adaptor, but I ended up ordering Vonage over the phone. I don't know how much of a "deal" it was (meaning they might offer it to everyone), but I got no activation, first month free and the adaptor for $9.95 shipping. I upgraded shipping to next day.
The rep was kinda vaque as to how the disconnect fee worked. They'll refund/waive the disconnect fee if you send the equipment back to them. I tried asking her if that still applied even if I bought the equipment, but couldn't get a 100% positive answer. So, I went with theirs.
What's neat about Vonage is the referral program. Each person you refer and signs up (for 2months?) gets a free month, while the referrer gets two months. I read on here that someone has enough referrals to have free phone service for the next two years. |
