I'd love to get in on this but the bastards don't have my area code. :|

Ditto here, but I decided to try it out on $15 plan. If it is good, I will drop my long distance carrier altogether and may also drop call waiting on my regular line. Also I forgot to ask if I can drop regional calling as well. If I do all this it will more than make up the cost of having a second phone number. Then I can gradually work on switching everyone over to the VOIP line and get rid of Verizon, altogether (none too soon.)

Good Luck. It says on their web site:

Transfer your existing phone number from your current telephone service provider to Vonage DigitalVoice(tm). (Available within selected Vonage service areas)

I called Vonage and evidently they can only work in certain area codes that the FCC has regulated. When I look at my Verizon bill I actually pay $1.21 per month for "Number Portability", but yet it's NOT portable to my new Vonage account. What a rip.

I hope it works for you. Please post here if it does.

Looking at Vonage's web page they have a "Letter of Authorization Tool" which when I fill it out it looks like if I use an LOA I can transfer my present number. Has anyone used this and how did it work out?

 

[aircooled]

I just let them give me a new number, so I'm not familiar with the LOA.

i did it for my grandpa...took about a month, but worked fine

 

[UTmtnbiker]

My transfer took about 6 weeks. I don't blame Vonage, I blame teh suck that is Qwest.

First Month's Service Charge $24.99
Federal Excise Tax $1.65

edit - packet8 has the same offerings at vonage with 2 mos free, no acivation fees and $60 rebate on the phone via amazon, seems a better deal to me.

search for 8x8 Packet8 Broadband VoIP Service with DTA-310 Phone Adapter
at amazon.com

I hope you enjoy the service. I've loved it and have saved tons of money. Anything to keep the money away from verizon
