Anyone have Vonage phone?

I have only one phone, a cellphone with T-Mobile. I get 1500 minutes a month with free nights and weekends for $59.99. I have never gone over my limit and can talk to all my friends and family for free.

When I was in Michigan, I signed up for something similar to Vonage (can't remember the name of the service). It ended up costing me more money so I said the heck with it. My brother was the one who asked me why I was paying for 2 phones (cell and home) and I didn't have an answer. So that's when I went to total cellphone service. I don't have to worry about an answering machine or caller ID because I have both on my cellphone. Plus, people can get ahold of me anytime, day or night.

I also have a T mobile cell phone. Thats why I have Vonage now lol. My service with T Mobile SUCKS. For one thing all my calls are long distance to Canada so that gets expensive (not the services fault) but while I am on the phone talking to my mom or whoever my call gets dropped every couple of minutes. To have a half hour conversation with my mother I have to call her back 3 or 4 times because my signal drops and there goes the call. Even if I don't move. I want to be free to move around my house and talk not sit pressed up against the window saying "what? what?" cause my cell cuts out lol.

I must live in a bad cell area lol. We have unlimited Vonage minutes and it is a flat rate to call to Canada at any time so that works much better for me than the cell phone.

I had to laugh (HAH!!) at the Cingular Wireless billboard ads claiming they have the fewest dropped calls of any wireless carrier. I used to have Cingular and hated it because of the frequency of dropped calls. I love T-Mobile for that reason. I only have a dropped call MAYBE once a month because of "dead zones".

I think I live in one BIG dead zone :D LOL I have never had another cell service here so I can't compare.

Well I have had the phone for a couple days now. I love it. i called my friend in Canada and we talked for half an hour or so. Didn't cost me any long distance and the sound quality was fine to me. :D

Thanks for the update! Might have to consider it....

had it for 2yrs.. never had any issues with them.. Its always clear & I can call anywhere in canada & the usa for free 24/7.. I pay about 40.00/month for the unlimited.

All I can say is if the power went out & my phone was pluged into the wall, it wont work anyways.. it still needs power to run :P

I also have international calls blocked so I'm safe :)
