ironmonk Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 This service is AWESOME! This is going to save me over $400 a year... I thought those of you who have a cable modem would also like to be able to save some $$$. This is also a great reason to get a cable modem. I might have already posted something about this... but oh well... I've been using it for a while now and it's awesome.

Azriel Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks IM - I'm seriously considering it. I have both a home and business phone at home, and IP would save tons of cash. You've had no problems at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea348 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 yup, we've got a cable modem...it is great because it prevents me from going through withdraw when I'm not on the LAN at college. it doesn't cost us much more than it used to because we used to have a second phone line for the modem. getting rid of that line and getting the cable modem only makes it cost slightly more.

I can have it forward to my cell if I wanted to, I can have the voicemails emailed to me, I can hear them from the phone, or online.... The features are great..... Voicemail Caller ID with Name Call Waiting Call Forwarding 3-Way Calling Area Code Selection Call Transfer Click-2-Call Call Return (*69) Caller ID Block (*67) Repeat Dialing Ring Lists If you wanted to, you could have a virtual phone number in another area code, and when people in that area call that number, it'll be a local call for them and you could be a thousand miles away.

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 We have both cable and DSL. Matthew works from home so if we have a storm and the cable is out, which tends to happen in our area fairly often, we have the DSL for backup. My computer is hooked up to the DSL and his is to the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the hackers and worms out there... yas got to have a router on the connections...lol A cool thing with vonage is that if my cable is out, it will forward the call to my cell phone (or any number I want). If you don't do much long distance, there's a $14/mo plan. God Bless, Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yeah, we definately have routers and firewalls for both! We do have a fair number of long distance calls each month because the majority of our family and friends (well, my closest friends, most of his friends live around here lol) are all out of state.

homeschoolmom Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 tying up the phone line is a good thing... it keeps me from unreasonable amounts of time on the computer. Well, it doesn't really, but it should... in theory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
