Can you tell Verizon that, please? For years when ever it rained (I am in florida, it rains for an hour almost every day during the summer) I lost my phone for at least 2 days. I live in the city of Tampa, so I am not in the sticks. Verizon's answer was to get line insurance which costs more. They then replaced a box that they should have replaced in the beginning because its their box, and the problem continued. I eventually moved.
Vonage has gone out on me 2 times in a 1.5 years for 20 minutes. A tiny blip for the cost savings, and a major saver in the pain in the arse verizon factor. |

I'm not real familiar with this type of service, but it would make me wonder how this would affect those needing their phones for emergencies. I'm sure those people would disagree with you.
