Tampa, FL | [Vonage] Click to Call
I just tried click to call for the forst time today and yesterday. My phone rings, but when I pick it up nothing happens, and after a few seconds I hear 2 clicks. I can dial the specified number manually with no trouble. |

I believe this is still a beta program so you are not likely to find much on their site.
You should contact tech support. |

the click-2-call has worked for me off-and-on in the past. Kind of as expected for a beta feature. However, I have seen some improvement (e.g. caller ID works better now, showing 'C2C' and the number you are going to call)

Click2Call was doing the same thing for me yesterday, and I haven't yet tried it today. My GF called three different times using it, my phone would ring, but when I picked up the phone I was met with silence - no ringing, no nothing. My GF verified she didn't hear anything on my end (hadn't even picked up her phone) and her phone didn't ring. I have not sent email to that special email address regarding support for this beta feature. |

I just tried it and it worked. Has anyone done anything interesting with this yet?
The message at the bottom of the »https://secure.click2callu.com/ page says "We intend to fully release this service in a few days." but from posts I've seen it's at least been since the end of December. Is it going to end up being a production feature?

Burbank, CA | It does seem cool, but I wonder if Vonage isn't releasing it, because it really gives you an 800 number without your paying for it (unless they make you pay a monthly fee to enable this feature). |

I don't see how is this anything like an 800 number. |

| If you look at an 800 #, it's an inbound call to you that doesn't cost the initiating party anything.
If we look at Click2Call, the same sort of thing happens. Someone else wants to speak with you, they click a link (they call you) and you answer and it calls them back. They are technically initiating the call (albeit the computer initiates on both ends on their behalf) and it doesn't cost them anything.
I can see how it's the same, assuming the initiating party is at a computer.

Well, I just sent my mom the link (yes, I trusted her with my Vonage password), so she can call me for free. A call that she initiated will be billed to me, which sounds an awful lot like an 800 number! |
