Vonage Digital Broadband...
If this is not your first time here, you might notice that this is new:
Not that I get much traffic (but it does increase every week, so thanks, I never thought that my little MINI blog would start showing up at the top of Google searches, nor would someone bother to click. So thanks...), but I figured that I might as well try to use some of it that I do get. I'm a fan of Google Ad-Sense, and as Google really does power my page via Blogger, they were my first try. But alas, they do not support pages like mine where the owner of the page does not actually own the whole domain. Oh well. Well, today while checking my e-mail, I was sent a notice from Vonage that one of my friends signed up for it using a link I sent them. And I remember that Vonage has a program that I could use. So here's the advertisements. But, because I'm not going to do ads for things that I don't actually like, or endorse, here's my quick review of my Vonage service, which will be exactly the same as if I wasn't getting something back from Vonage every time someone signs up thru the link.
I LOVE VONAGE. I went from an over $60 a month phone bill, to just $14.99. I get a lot of free extras, some I use (Caller ID, call fowarding, call waiting), some I don't (voicemail), and one of the best ones, the Network Availibility feature. If Vonage cannot connect to your phone adaptor, the call will be fowarded to another number, like a cell phone.
I am on the lowest calling plan, which is timed at 500 local or long distance minutes (yes, long distance calls do not count double, or triple, but at the same rate as the local calls), but for you hard core phone users, the top tier plan at $34.99 is FULL UNLIMITED (that's right, UNLMITED) local and long distance, and for the sake of long distance, Canada does NOT count as an out of country call. Yes, to Vonage, calls to Canada only count as a regular in-state long distance call. Not to forget the people in the middle, you can get unlimited local (to Vonage, local is your whole Area Code. Not just your town and the next town over, the WHOLE area code. ), and 500 long distance (including the Canada deal) for $24.99.
It's easy to install, but to actually wire up all of your phones if you have a house with many extensions, it might be a pain, but to me, it's much less of a pain to pay $15 a month than $60
And, if you use my links to Vonage, your second month of service is free.
