Vonage Rocks for MeWe have had Vonage as our home telephone for almost a year. I love it, because it really is my 'business' phone and the little that it costs me I can deduct. Each of us has a cell phone and that's primarily what we use, but I don't want to put my cell phone number on my business cards. SO... the Vonage phone is at my desk and no other location in our house. It is a walk around phone, so we can use it where ever... but this is the number on all my business materials, stamps and lables. When you call and get the voice mailbox, it is me talking about Pampered Chef. You would not know you are calling a home by the way the box message is worded. Finally, I pay for Vonage - the basic $17 per month, from my PC account and this is how I totally write it off. Sure beats paying the Verizon gorilla $100 per month....:p
 
I have had Vonage for about 8 months and am very pleased. We have had little to no problems atall. Just my 2 cents :-)
