Re: This is why I canceled Vonage
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but Cell Phones have a finite air time that is "free". Also, having a cell phone for family use is a little impracticle. And, I'm not sure I want my kids to have a cell phone emitting RF in close proximity for hours a day. No flamming please, I know there is now scientific proof that CellPhone RF causes any problems, but it's not worth the chance for me. My vonage is pretty reliable. I do have a cell phone, but always use it as a backup. VoIP is getting better. | |

With a cell phone, you can literally spend thousands of minutes a month talking to people before you run out of minutes.
said by cngr96 :Also, having a cell phone for family use is a little impracticle. Again, you can run into the same problem with VOIP or landline. VOIP doesn't solve that problem for you. If you're really worried about your kids' phone usage, you can use prepaid phone cards to track exactly how much money they are costing you.

But seriously, how many people have died from RF radiation emitted by cell phones? The answer is still 0.

With a cell phone, you can literally spend thousands of minutes a month talking to people before you run out of minutes. I did a quick check of the top cellular suppliers and none of them offered 24x7 unlimited US calling for anywhere near Vonage's $25. Always a finite amount of daytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends.

Any way, with Vonage, it's unlimited, so this is not an issue. I like the traditional features I get with Vonage that Cells do not have.

My typing error here, I intended to say NO scientific, not now scientific, sorry. Cellular is convenient, but I still think VoIP offers a better solution for now, and it has been 99.9% reliable for me. I can't say that about my cellular service. | |
