PAT - please remove my email address -- too much SPAM.
I signed up with Vonage a while ago (taking advantage of PAT's offer). I decided that I wasn't using it enough (plenty of minutes with free LD on my cell) and tried to cancel.
I called on 3/18, sat on call for at least half an hour, got transferred to regular customer service who could not take the cancelation order. I was given a tracking ticket and a promise that I'd get a call back in a day or two. At the same time I also requested cancellation using their web page.
I finally called again on 3/24, sat on hold for a while and finally was connected to the "retention department". It took about 5 minutes (mostly on hold) to handle the actual cancellation. The clerk was very helpful. When I mentioned my 3/18 call, she told me that they had over 3,000 tickets in queue waiting for calls back and that it was "a staffing issue" (they need more people).
