I was thinking about getting the Cable phone service Vonage but?

Question

What happens when your cable goes off? Won't that effect your phone service too?

Answer 1

I use Vonage, and it works great for me. It has saved me a TON of dough. But some people had trouble with it, and lost calls. One of my friends switched back after 6 months. He acutally saved lots of money while he had it, the phone would simply go dead during a call. I do not have this trouble.

My cable is almost never out. I added a cheap UPS that I bought at the local STAPLES store, for my Vonage adpater. My phone now stays up during power outtages.

But I have taken my phone and Vonage adapter with me on vacation. Last year, I spent two weeks in Hong Kong.. it worked great to call home for FREE. (The hotel charged $25 just to make the connection). This year, I took my phone to Boston... again, it worked great.

There are no hidden charges. Recently, they added the state sales tax to my bill. That's the law.

But I have used the referral system. I have gotten 6 months of totally FREE vonage by referring just 3 of my friends. So they are saving money too.

Answer 3

Yes. Thats why I still subscribe to plain old telephone service. The phone has been reliable ever since I could remember. Internet phone service is great as a second phone line for the kids or a small business line. But I would never replace my main phone with internet phone service.

Also, if you have a monitored alarm system, that can pose a challenge. Because if you switch over you will have to reconfigure your wiring for the alarm system to communicate in the event that you have an emergency.

Answer 4

Yes, your service goes off when cable goes out most of the time. I've lost cable during a storm but I still had phone service.

Don't get it! Unlike the TV advertisements,Vonage has so many hidden charges,it will make you have to take out a loan!

Also,I have Roadrunner,EXCELLENT service!
