Been using Vonage for a bit more than a year. I use that and Skype.
The only thing that bothers me is that now the damned fees are
creeping into my monthly bill. For example, their 24ドル.99 plan costs me
28ドル.98 after you add the federal and state taxes, and now the E-911
surcharge for RI.
But it's still a whole lot cheaper than an equivalent package with
Verizon. For example, for roughly the same service level (Actually
Vonage has MORE features - the web management stuff rocks!) Verizon
was charging me 88ドル a month.
So we've got 60ドル or more in fees before I say to hell with Vonage and
switch exclusively to Skype.
