Update on Vonage

Just a quick note to say that I'm pleased with the sound quality of Vonage. So far it meets or exceeds Verizon's quality. I'm glad to have a service that my students can use to call their friends all over the US and doesn't cost extra for any of us. It should also save me some money because now I don't have to use a calling card from home. In the past, I had the long distance service disabled and used a card from Costco.

The control freak in me likes it too. I can see from the internet who has called and who has been called. It tips me off to when I should check my messages.

Vonage setup

I received my Vonage box today. It took about 15 minutes to set up. The only thing I forgot was to change the filters on my router. After I took care of that it was nothing but good. The call quality seems great. At times it seems to be better than Verizon.

Vonage is about $28 (with tax) per month and includes domestic long distance and free calling to a lot of phones in western Europe. Unfortunately, it still costs to call cell phones over there. Considering that I'm paying Verizon $42 per month or so. I think I made the right choice as long at the voice quality continues. You do need a high speed internet connection.
