Vonage

We have successfully switched over to internet phone service. Our new provider is called Vonage. For one small monthly fee we have unlimited calling (local and long distance), we can transfer calls to another number for example if a call comes in for the Sharmas while they are out I can send it to their cell. We have a mobile router that we can use to make calls while we are traveling (at no extra charge), we can check our voice mail from any computer on the internet. If the internet goes down and we lose our phone service incoming calls are automatically routed to our cell phones. The change became official last night so its too early to say that we like it.

We had to attach another router to our wireless transmitter. The new router ties back into the wiring in the house for the phones (first we had to disconnect all of the phone lines at the box. We managed this all by ourselves.

RE: Vonage

We plan to switch to Vonage when we return to TN. Didn't know that the calls could be routed to the cell phone ... now it sounds even better.
