1 edit | Let me see you get wire your house with a yahoo appliance. I was trying to use an Softphone through skype and had too many issues. Not many people like being tied to a PC anyway. I myself have been a vonage customer for several years and know a dozen friends/family on it. Especially now that they have given free calls to Europe, hope more coutnries coming soon, need Japan. I like how sunrocket bundles in their LD. I just signed up for 100 and was thinking of doing more. I myself had about $500 in ebay when it IPO'd but my wife and I were bringing in about $20 an hour combined so I said we need the money, damn i could have scraped by and had 10x that now i think. damnit.
Oh and don't forget how they are putting this into wireless phones, i think nokia is building into cellular handsets and eventually the PSP/Nintendo! |

Yahoo!'s voice is a better product and backed by a company with MONEY not hope! It's all about numbers and name really. Vonage is lumped into VoIP service, people just refer to their voip service as Vonage service instead of what is really is. That's a very powerful tool for a company to be synonymous with a service. When people want to “google” you, all they are referring to is doing a web search, but the culture and brand behind it has kind of meshed into one. In my opinion, that's the strong point of Vonage. It may not be the best or the cheapest, but even my mom who knows nothing about computers knows what vonage is and she knows she can save money over the local telco for phone service. Given that, not all heavy stock investors are tech heads like us, but do they do know the name Vonage and what it does and that's what gives it the same power that Google had when it starting selling stock. Everyone calls Google a fluke and it will never be repeated, but I think they are wrong. It's the same people that said Google stock would be worthless after everyone bought some after they starting selling. There is a lot of experience to consider in this and the opinions I read here are very valid and realistic. But we all have to remember that playing the stock game is never a win, win for all. It could turn to crap or it could turn to gold. I'm only going in with the minimum 100 shares just to gamble a little and hope for some gold alchemy returns later on.  |

p.s. A large number of my friends and family use VoIP phones and none of them refer to the service as "vonage service" as you say. They all just say "VoIP phone". |
