That's the same way failing banks are amazingly posting profits.

Then again it does not. They raised the price of the 500 minute plan to 17.99 a month. |

Smithtown, NY | Is Voip a Going Concern at Present Prices
With ATT and Verizon pulling the plug on plain VOIP, plus a few independent providers going bust, is VOIP a survivable product?
I hope so because I have it. |

Unfortunately, I don't like the banks and want the govt to stop giving them our money. I've been using them since 2005, they are still alive and well as far as I can tell. All my friends and family use Vonage now, we all save a ton of money on phone calls. Partly their new equipment helps, takes a lot of the guess work out a traffic shaping to get a proper phone call for the non-technical users or those that don't really understand how traffic shaping works.
Their tech support has a lot to be left desired, but if you have a tech buddy then it helps to eliminate those calls short of some kind of account error with billing.

I think Vonage is going the same direction as AOL.
Trying to cancel it is like hell and then on top of that they try to charge you a disconnection fee for a non-contract deal. Sweet hidden contracts...

A lot of people who do voip are doing it bundled with cable internet service. They're even willing to pay the cable company more money than what it would cost with a voip provider. |

Re: AOL?
Easy way to cancel vonage.
Tell them you're moving the middle of Africa on a 10 year research project and will have NO contact with the outside world.
Or simply tell them you will have no broadband anymore.
That's how I did it and it was painless. |

I had the unlimited plan and switched over to basic 500 when I wasn't even using 500 minutes.
Then VG raised it to $17.99 and I decided to just leave. |

|  Vonage needs to offer more advanced features
If Vonage would offer more advanced call features like Call Filtering they would make much more profit. What they don't seem to realize is the large percentage of their customers are your more techie types that choose to not only save money but also like the advanced features. VoicePulse and other small providers offer these advanced services to stay competitive with the 800 lb. Vonage gorilla. Now that CallVantage is going away it would be to Vonage's great advantage to offer at least the same advanced call features of CallVantage. I recently moved from CallVantage over to Vonage but it's lacking Call Filtering. Wake up Vonage!!! |

Re: AOL?
That's nothing. Someone told me to say I'm canceling "because my dog died."
They have nothing in their script for that so they'll let you cancel. |

Re: Vonage needs to offer more advanced features
You use the words "advanced features", but the only advance feature you seem to mention is "call filtering". Vonage is awake and is doing pretty good competing with the features of other telephone Co.'s like AT&T and maybe the Cable Co.'s own version of VOIP. |
