[sdw2003] Residential VOIP? Vonage, Skype, etc?

[Randy K]

Used Vonage for about a year and was VERY happy.  Wife wanted to see called
ID on the TV so we switched to Time Warner.  One thing I really lied about
Vonage was that if your internet connection failed it would route the calls
to another number.. say your cell.  TW doesn't do that.. when our internet
connection was down calls went to.. well nowhere.. just dead not even a fast
busy.  when I mention the reroute to the TW customer service and the tech,
they were amazed that anyone could do that!  not surprised here..

OOMA?  Why pay hundreds of dollars for that is included in Vonage.
So Vonage is $25 month... and OOMA is 199 (basic) +109 (premium)= 308.  So
that is about 12 months of Vonage..  I bet something better, cheaper ,  etc
comes out in 12 months.  Plus Vonage ships you the hardware...  no need to
go to Fry's and deal with the folks who couldnt get a job at Radio Shack!
