Anyone use VoiP? i.e. vonage, comcast, verizon?
 
I am thinking about finally saying good bye to my land line and trying the phones being offered by companies such as vonage, comcast, verizon, etc. Does anyone have any of these or others? If so, what are your opinions? Would you recommend? I live in South Florida so any thoughts from fellow Broward county residents would be extra appreciated!

Thanks!

i have packet8 and really really like it..

the only way it could be better is if it didnt die when the power goes out...

For wireless, I find verizon hard to beat. Their customer service has been excellent and they seem to have no problem replacing all the phones I break...errr I mean have manufacturer's defects. One trick I found is to bargain with them at the store (go when it's not too busy) You can usually get surprisingly good deals on phones or accessories just by saying "Well at T-mobile they were going to give me..."

Our home phone, internet, DirectTV, and cell phones all go through Verizon. Good discount for having all four packaged together and only one bill to pay each month. No problems with service either.

We use Comcast for internet and phone. No problems. My cell is Verizon. We left Sprint for Verizon after Sprint left us high and dry with no coverage in some of the out of the way places we drive...our cars were separated and one of us [me] was in trouble with a ripped-up roof-rack...during a 2000 mile move.

I went to Verizon and we have NEVER had trouble getting a call through, even in the depths of the badlands.

vonage didnt have a local number for me...

my packat8 runs 27 after taxsf and everything...

they also have a 14.99 that match's vonages deal...

Thanks all! A friend of mine has vonage and has had reception problems, even after they exchanged the phone out. I'm leaning away from Vonage.

Any other opinions folks? How's reception? customer service?

Altpers0na 12/05/2007 08:08 PM

reception problem?

that shouldnt happen, its all digital, i would think that was the phones issue...
