Vonage

Mario Pallares:  I have been with Vonage for 7 years. Before, I remmember when my phone bill was over $80 or even $100 every month, since I have Vonage I only pay $33 x month and the highest I ever paid is around $60 including international calls!! I also have a second VOIP line with Comcast because it's included in the cable and internet plan, but Vonage service and price are much better.

dave in texas:  I had Vonage for about 4 years. I have to say that the service was exceptional for the price. BUT...after about 4 years the Vonage supplied modem went south. I contacted support (India) and got a real run-around about what the problem was. I was asked to execute tests that were impossible with the blown box - THREE times. I jumped throught their hoops twice, each time requesting to speak to a higher level manager (ignored). The third time I told them they were just wasting my time now (same set of instructions for the same failed tests). I told them that I was terminating service (which I did). At that point I got some calls from high-level US management - too late! they'd had their chance and blown it. The folks in India are very polite but do NOT realize when it' s time to involve someone who can actually make a decision on problem resolution once it's clear that it is NO LONGER a technical issue. They'd still have me as a customer if they can only figure out how to treat their clients.

TangoBabsi:  I have had Vonage for about 4 years, and their router keeps disconnecting and needs re-setting. Finally I've had enough and am told that the router is out of warranty. I will need a new one at MY expense. I prefer Magic Jack. . . It WORKS and you pay ONE fee yearly!. . . I"m going to dump Vonaga.

Mike in Tampa:  I have been using Vonage since 2004. In that time, we have had problems with the connection 2 times. Both times, a phone call to Vonage solved the problem. The first time, during a hurricane, it took 2 days to fix the problem. The second time took less than 1 hour. I think that this is acceptable for having the service for 6 years and 4 hurricanes. The only downside that I have seen is that the $24.95 that we used to pay is now up to $34 and change. This is due to taxes and state fees, so is not a Vonage problem. Also, you cannot block a single phone number. We had a telemarketing company calling us morning and night for about a year. With Vonage, I could not block the number. Finally, I did some Internet research, found the company and spoke to them directly. I have not received any calls since, but it would have been nice just to block the call through Vonage. Overall, it has been a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone that has fast, reliable Internet service.

arthur hall:  We called for phone service. They started charging us the day we signed up. They said we would be up and running within two weeks and they said they would have the vonage package parts, ect.. We got ours in about 4-5 days. We hooked it up and worked with it for about an hour or so on our cell phones. They gave us people with broken English who were hard to understand so we decided on Friday that we were going to get this thing up and going. We were on the phone 8 times on Friday on our cell phone. We invested over 8 hours of time and when we told them that we were disapointed and started talking about canceling, their next words were that they were goig to charge us $119 if they didn't get thier box back. I asked them if they would reinburse us at least for our cell minutes and some of our time being on the phone with them. They said they would send us another box and they didn't know what the real problem was. So, they passed us onto a supervisor and said they would talk about it after they sent us a new box. They started charging us the first day they got our credit card And would credit back to our account within 30 days. I told them I might pass it onto the Better bussiness bureau because they threatend to charge us $119 because they said they sent us a bad box. I hope everybody doesn't do bussiness that way.

Brian in MD:  Been a subscriber for about 3 years. No problems, other than a lightning zapped router, in the last 2 years. 100% as reliable as the internet connection. Only negative is the cheap 500 minute plan price keeps increasing. Love call forwarding/multi-ring.

MJH:  Tried signing up for Vonage about a year ago. Somehow they had a problem processing my credit card (what? it works fine everywhere else) and then after that they couldn\'t activate the line. Spent two weeks corresponding with \"Executive Support\" or something like that - supposedly the \"supervisors\" who report directly to the CEO (yeah, right). They promised call backs and never ONCE called me back. You\'d think a phone company could, you know, call you back when they say they will. Anyway, I would NOT recommend. The customer service is absolutely horrible.

Bill:  They promise you low prices, but if you do not read every little bit of information you will be taken advantage of. Once they have you, it will cost you several dollars to disconnect. Crooks!

Frank:  Wasn't Verizon or at&t suing Vonage? I am surprised they are still in business. I would recommend going with your current cable provider and play it safe.

Patricia :  I went with them because I heard nothing but good reports. I can see why, a well-rounded company.
