Please, don't recommend Vonage to anyone. I was with them for about a year and a half and they were little more then a problem the whole time. They will also lock you into THEIR hardware. And if that hardware conflicts with your hardware, like it did with mine, you are left out in the dark holding the bill. Their voice quality was also less then stellar.
After the hardware conflicts that I had with their hardware I had to forward to my ArrivalTel number. It then took Vonage a month to tell me that what they said I could do was really not possible. I had called them to make sure that the changes to my network would still work with their hardware. They first told me that it would, then after all of the changes were made, they told me it would not work. BTW, they also billed me for all of the time it took for them to tell me that it wouldn't work, a full 2 months of service of which I had not phone service with them because of hardware conflicts. Go with ArrivalTel. They are cheaper, hardware freindly, better voice quality, and much better for customer service.
