So… after almost twenty years with AT&T, feeding the giant, so to say, the wife and I have decided to move our phone line to Vonage.
I am sure that this evokes images of the silly commercials and the famed “Woo Hoo” song by the “5,6,7,8′s” who sang the song in the first installment of the Kill Bill movies.
All that aside, I have actually been with vonage for a few years… about four or five now, they provide my 877 number for this site and the second line that comes into my house. More often than not, I use that line as my main line because the clarity is so much greater than that of the land line. It is also the line I use for the TTY device I use to speak to my mother, who is deaf.
In all, vonage does offer a lot of features for what you pay. The few times I have had to call them for something, I have never had to deal with anyone rude or with an accent so thick I almost feel like I need a passport just to ask for technical support… much like I have to go with any time I call AT&T for line or DSL support, when I am at work.
I have had a couple people tell me the not do this, but I have to think that they have been around long enough to be considered stable… and if my office “SamuraiMarine Hotline” is any sign of thing to come, then I am sure I will be plenty happy.
Besides…Â it is also going to save me about $25 dollars a month making the move!
