With Vonage, you connect your telephone to your high-speed Internet connection using the Vonage phone adapter that we send you. Pick up the phone, and use it just like you do today. You can be up and running within minutes of receiving your Vonage phone adapter.\nWhen you pick up the phone, the Vonage phone adapter converts your voice into data and sends it through the Internet like an email. Our network sends the call where you want it and translates it back into voice. When the person you're calling picks up the phone, it sounds just the same as any other call. When someone calls you, they dial your number, your phone rings, and all you have to do is pick up and answer it. \nOnce you're connected, pick up your phone and use it just like you do today. The person you're calling doesn't need to have Vonage or an Internet connection on their side. They just need a phone. And your phone rings when someone calls you as it always did. You use your same touch-tone phone. You're just connecting it to Vonage instead of your old phone company. Also, using Vonage doesn't affect your computer usage. Continue to surf the web or send and receive email with no problem!

Vonage by far. They offer free long distance, free caller ID, free call forwarding, free voicemail. Just about any "extra" you want they have for $24.95 + tax a month. It comes out to $27 and change.

It is all of the interface required to make a VoIP phone work.  If you do not want to use their official box, you can also purchase one of your own.  Most networking companies sell routers with built-in VoIP capabilities.

LOL, I almost thought you meant something else 'til I thought about it for a second...\n\nDSL, (not computer, or ISP related) means d*ck-sucking-lips. And no I don't have it.

Vonage is awesome!  I now work from home and have them for both our home line and my work line.  When you get a business line from them you also get a free dedicated fax line.  The work one I've had to reset a couple of times (unplug it then plug it back in) but it's no big deal.  The price is amazing and since we live in PA and my family's in TN it's a huge savings.\n\nThe main problem you might run into is if they can get you a number that's local to where you are.  Even if you're area code is available you're prefix might not be.  This can mean that when your next door neighbor calls it's long distance for them.  We get around it by telling people when they call we can call them right back since it's free for us.

analog telephony\n\nThe electronic transmission method used for carrying voice in the original telephone system. Analog telephony is still used in the last mile from the central office (CO) to the home or office. See POTS and analog.

You can be online and still use the phone.\n\nI haven't ever used Vonage and the like, and never will.  About half my friends who have used services like that swear by them---And whenever they call me it sounds like they're on a regular phone.  The other half, however, sound like they're calling from inside a submarine five fathoms down on a cordless phone from the 80's.  It's a hit or miss thing in my experience, which is something I wouldn't like from my home phone service.\n\nOh, and the little 911 disclaimers at the bottom of their TV ads?  Take them seriously.  There have been a few cases of serious injury and even death because VoIP 911 services have failed miserably.

Vonage. It's the largest VOIP company, soon to be going IPO, and it's the best. I wouldn't go back to regular phone. It's inexpensive and so very useful.

The buzzword nowadays is VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol).\n\nFREE PC to regular Phone service. I heard that Yahoo rolled out the beta version of PC to PC phone call service, but if Yahoo can make PC-to-Phone Service free, then it can certainly overtake other companies (MSN, Skype, Vonage to name few) that provide the same service.\n\nThen, how is Yahoo geeting its money back? Ads. YES, ads on their software just like Google did with Gmail.\n\nThe other option is to charge WAY less than other companies. I bet Yahoo can make enough money from ads since millions of users will be downloading their free software to make free phone calls.\n\nMark my word, that day will come soon. If not Yahoo, some other comapany (MS, Ebay, or Google) will offer that service soon FREE of charge.

It may be. Vonage would know.  You could try a different voice over ip company to see what they require.  There are companies that are cheaper than vonage anyway.\n\nI don't see any reason for them to lie to you, and I don't think that is something they could easily mis-inform you about.

I don't have it so I can't say whether it's good or not, however a website I visit quite often has some detailed information on it that you might want to read throughly before deciding if you want it or not.  Go to http://ripoffreport.com/  and on the right hand side of the page, scroll down to Vonage and read what the users of this company have to say.
