Vonage

I decided to sign up for Vonage yesterday. I get poor mobile phone reception at my apartment, plus I needed to get a number with a local area code to operate the front door buzzer here. I didn't want to wait on Vonage to ship a phone adapter, so I went to Best Buy and bought a Linksys Vonage phone adapter (which is free after rebate when you sign up for Vonage). I hooked it up to my local network, plugged a phone in, and registered on Vonage's web site. 5 minutes later my phone was working.

So far I've been pleased with the service. I talked to Jason for about 15 minutes last night, and didn't notice any difference from a traditional landline in terms of voice quality and latency. Also, it's only $15/month for 500 minutes (more than I need) with every feature I know of (call waiting, voicemail, call forwarding, etc.).

Send me an email if you want my new phone number.

UPDATE: By the way, if anyone reading this decides to sign up for Vonage, let me know and I'll refer you. That will give you one free month of service, and give me 2 free months.
