Is Vonage Worth A Look?
I have been thinking about switching telephone service to Vonage. They offer unlimited phone calls to anywhere in the continental United States for just $25 a month. The only requirement is you will need a high-speed internet service at your home which most people do since all calls are placed through on the internet. You get voicemail, 3-way calling, call forwarding, 911 as well as transfer your existing number. So, are they worth a look? Vonage has been bleeding red since 2001 and there are showing no signs of turning the company around. Vonage faces stiff competition from eBay’s Skype and Google. In addition, it also competes with telephone and cable television giants. The company’s fate may lie on a likely buyout or takeover. So, is it worth switching?
They’re ok. Like all internet phones, the service is only as good as the connection. They did give me a great Linksys RTP-300 - 4 port - 2 phone broadband router with the deal, so I was able to securely ethernet wire network all my home computers and laptops. I also bought a Motorola Surfboard modem, so I don’t have to pay monthly rentals. A good rule of thumb is : Linksys network cards and routers, Motorola modems.
They also have great international rates, and a first class account manager.
Thanks for the tip. It’s much appreciated. We still don’t have a landline at our new place. It’s good to hear some positives.
