I have to call France pretty often, and I'd like to sign up for a VoIP subscription, so what would you recommend ?
I've heard about Vonage, is it any good ?
Thanks in advance !

I only know Vonage for voice over IP. Skype is a computer program that dials home phones, and I think Yahoo messenger does too now, but you speak through the microphone on your computer not a phone. I have tried them both, and they work... but not well. I know several people who have Vonage and are very happy with it, but... the if the Vonage modem is not on a static IP, it resets randomly making your phones ring for no reason. Also, if you download a lot of stuff on your computer, the bandwith usage becomes very high and sometimes your phone won't work, or your internet won't work. Some alarm companies will let you use a Voice over IP service with their alarms, but if the power goes out, unlike a land line (except cordless or fancy ones) no phone.

I have been a Vonage user for over 3 years and I have been quite pleased with the service overall. The service is reliable and has more features than any other service I've used. I would reccomend them to anyone looking for a better, cheaper alternative to standard phone service.

I can tell you from experience that Vonage sucks

I really like Cogeco, but I think that they are only for South Central Ontario and Quebec. It's too bad you may not get them cause you can bundle up your digital cable Internet and phone
