My Voip Vonage Experience Compare Cost To A Normal Land line

My voip vonage phone is finally connected after the initial bit of drama.No problems pick up the handset and your ready to start making calls just like any other phone.Here is a list of some of the features that you receive with your voip vonage service.

Free Vonage to Vonage calls
Voicemail plus
Caller Display
Call Waiting
Call diversion
3-way calling
999 Emergency Services
Withhold Caller Display
International Call Barring
1471
Ring Back

All these services are all included with your normal monthly charge at no extra cost. There is one service however that is missing and that Vonage do not provide at present, call baring to mobile phones or premium rate phone numbers which is quite disappointing. They dohave international call baring so why not to mobile phones and premium rate numbers

Travel International with VOIP Vonage

This is a cool feature even though I've yet to try it, you also have the option to take your phone adapter with you when you travel abroad. Simply connect the phone adapter to a broadband connection, plug in your phone and use it anywhere in the world very cool.(better than paying international rates)

Vonage have launched a product called a V phone and it fit's on your key ring so that you can carry it around with you.This can be used where ever you have access to a broadband connection and it's completely portable.

Other Features of Voip Vonage

Another service which is really good is Voicemail, now your thinking what's the big deal.Well if someone leaves you a message on your phone you can access your voicemail through your web account on your computer and hear the voicemail message through your computers speakers. You also get a confirmation email telling you when a voicemail has been left for you.

Using Voip Vonage Reliability and Quality

From my personal experience I have found the voip vonage service to be good with no real problems However sometimes you can hear strange noises or sounds when on the phone, this may be down to programs running or some kind of static.This was only hear occasionally and does not effect the overall usability of the service.

Closing Comments and Savings with My VOIP Vonage

On the whole my voip vonage service was good value, especially the savings compared to my previous line rental bill.This was costing me around £12 pounds a month plus call chargers which would vary from between £10-18 pounds a month so my total payments were around £25 pounds a month.

Now with the voip vonage service my bill is only £7.99 A MONTH which includes my call charges(free Local and National calls) sometimes it may go up to £10 pounds a month if a few mobile phone numbers are called.

Work It Out !

So let's do the maths

(£25x12mths=£300 a year line rental)versus (£10x12mths=£120 a year vonage voip)

Savings of around £120 pounds a year!

Give VOIP a Try

Granted normal line rental is better quality and probably more reliable, but the savings for me are incredible and as mentioned before, VOIP can only get better as it's constantly being developed.So are you ready to try a voip service and see for yourself if it's going to be any good for you or your business. Voip vonage offers you a 30 day money back guarantee and it does not tie you into any contract.
