I thought it worked well, but my wife complained of "fuzzy sound" when connected from Vonage to a cellphone. So when I bought the house my wife made me use COX. However, the home phone has become nothing but spam, and I had to get a unlisted number to cut that down. Being an engineer, in my opinion: Vonage was excellent and if we still have spam on the phone I will go back to it. On Vonage, I NEVER had a telemarketer call. The "in" thing here in AZ is to use cellphone only, no landline at all, but for business long distance, the Vonage service is wonderful. --Bob -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
