|
 | | Meanwhile
Vonage is wondering who is next. And how long they can dish out money. Whether its worth is to pay out all the royalties without raising their rates. | |
|
 |  | | Re: Meanwhile In my opinion, you're right that Vonage is wondering who is going to be next on the list.
It is also my opinion that Vonage is in a catch 22 -- if they raise rates and pass the costs on to their customers, they will start looking for alternatives as their rates will be with that of their competitors. Vonage from what I've seen offers you everything possible, much, much cheaper than say AT&T's VoIP service.
If they raise rates, a lot of people will be upset...some will pay, others will go with someone who they feel more comfortable with, and who has a lot of reliability behind them (AT&T for example). | |

"Vonage shares rose as much as 10 percent."
I guess that amounts to about 3c... hehe | |

 |  swsamuraiPremium join:2002-04-17 Bakersfield, CA | You should be happy. A friend and I both got the "invitation" to join in on the IPO. Both of us were "accepted", but I backed out at the last minute. He ended up buying something like 2000 shares at the IPO special price... I think it was something like $12 a share.
Be glad you were not there! It is still a bitter topic for him. He sold at about $4 a share.
Oh well... you just got to look at it like this... do not gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. | |

 |  JoeG4 join:2001-12-16 945941 | Re: Vonage lives Go Go Go Raising the rates? That's exactly what the phone companies/cable companies want to do to Vonage, force them to raise their rates by suing them. | |
|
 | | VOIP is Junk Vonage is still around? Eeep. What a crap company. | |
|
 |  | | Re: VOIP is Junk Actually lots of people have Vonage and it's great. I've never had a service from a company be so hassle free and just all around great. I highly recommend them. It's sad to see Vonage get trashed on by people that know nothing about them. Vonage is awesome. | |
|
 |  |  | | Re: VOIP is Junk I was attempting to amuse myself. My neighbor actually has Vonage. He complains about Vonage and drinks constantly. Such is life. | |
|
 |  |  |  | | Re: VOIP is Junk His cable is probably shit and Vonage works fine At least that is my experience. When Comcast is down so is Vonage. I purchased some stock and am glad I did.
Can't stop these checks from pouring in | |

| Re: VOIP is Junk said by entropy1:I think he has DSL actually. I had DSL for 7 years, overall I was pretty happy with it. I later added a few different VoIP services and the VoIP call quality was OK as long as I wasnt doing any uploads or downloads. There is a big difference with VoIP over a Fios (or cable) vs. a DSL connection. | |

I seem to have missed the part where calling something 'crap' without explanation, sources, or any other sort of reasoning makes your comments 'effective' in any way..
On another note, Vonage has been just fine for me. | |

If he drinks constantly and then attempts to use Vonage, therein lies the problem.
I use Vonage all the time at home, especially to call my mother in Alaska. I use the TTY device on it and it has never given me a minute of problems. | |

| I just signed up for Comcast triple-play. I forgot about Vonage.
Does Vonage have Simultaneous Ring, and does Comcast CDV? I looked on Vonage's web site, and didn't see it, and don't remember it from Comcast's material.
Right now I don't care since my cell is temporary, but when I get rich again (get a full time minimum wage job or better) it might matter. | |

IMO, Vonage is cheap, reliable and feature rich. I would hate to see them fold. | |
