minutes/reliance. Anyone had any experience with Vonage. Are they pretty reliable? I know not 911-reliable, but reliable enough to use as an incoming/outgoing phone for normal calls? How does the voicemail over Internet functionality work? Preston | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options  trouble with either affects Vonage service. Voicemail sends the .wav file to your email addy. The function works, but I do not use it, simply because I don't need it. Check the features list; you can also forward calls, or ring a second <or series of> number<s>. (see "ring lists") I have found Vonage to be reliable, with excellent sound quality. I currently have my modem at a remote location, and use the softphone for my home location. I use the SJ softphone with excellent results. Drop me an email--- I'll send an electronic coupon for a months free service. Pepperoni | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If you'd asked me a few months ago, I would have said they're great. More recently, the sound quality has deteriorated a lot when the net is at all busy. Oddly, people say they can hear me fine even when they're so garbled I can't understand them. My conenction is a T1 which is not particularly heavily loaded, so I don't think it's at this end. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I currently use a similar system called call vantage from at&t. I get my internet from my local cable company and they are affiliated with comcast. I ran RG-11 from the pedestal to the house and into the house to a switching station. [image: http://www.intricatecreationz.com/gallery2/albums/House/w002.sized.jpg ] All the phone lines tie into one and that plugs into the telephone adapter. I save about 20 bucks a month with this system and love it. Its got a lot of neat features that you dont get with the local telco company. INCLUDED FEATURES * Conference Calling * Voicemail * Call Log * Phone Book * Locate Me * Speed Dial * Do Not Disturb * 3-Way Calling * Emergency 911 Dialing * Call Forwarding * Call Waiting * Caller ID * Safe Forward Number * Fax and Modem Support -- CBUM http://forums.speedguide.net | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
