They offer a ton of options included in your monthly fee - including being able to have all calls that go to your (VoIP) land-line also forwarded to any other number concurrently - this includes your cell phone.
Note that with this setup you can have all calls go to your Vonage land-line and then ring for however long you want (I have mine set to 40 seconds) and then if you don't pick up it will automatically ALSO be routed to your cell phone while your land-line continues to ring. That way, if you're home you can pick up your land-line, and if you're out of the house the call will also ring on your cell phone.
PROS: you keep your land-line number; you only need to give out one phone number (your land-line number); you never have to manually 'forward your land-line to your cell phone when you leave the house; you never miss another call
CONS: extra cost of $25-$30 per month; reduced 9-1-1 service (it goes to a regional center); requires (reliable) cable/DSL service

I've been thinking about ditching verizion telephone service and just adding a cell line with the home number. It would be nice if I could integrate two 900 MHz telephones for use since the cell is small and does not make a loud enough ring to here throughout the house. Anybody have experience in this or has looked into something like this?
