So are you using Vonage from your PC or did you get one of those handsets that plugs into a router/network connection?
I have also heard that some people are using VOIP over their cell phone and that you can get some phones now that can connect to either Wi-Fi or cell networks. That would be cool, but only in areas where you have a lot of Wi-Fi coverage like major cities. Also, I don't have a data plan with Cingular yet. I am trying to limit the amount of money those bloodsucking bastards get from me each month (right now it is around $70/mo) and my cable modem is still cheaper than their "unlimited" data plan.

I switched to Vonage about a year ago. We have family everywhere, my wife still has lots of family in Jamaica, and my sister lives in Japan. Vonage's coverage and quality of service is pretty good.

About a year ago my wife and I ditched the landline and use only cell phones. Everything is working great, except for international calls. Her family is in Canada. Cingular charges $0.20/min to Canada and if you pay them the $3.00/mo for their special international rates service it goes down to $0.18.min (whoopee). For now she has been using those cheap calling cards but it is still not totally convenient. I am thinking of switching over to VOIP for the long distance. WHat has been the experience of the group with these services? What are the differences and advantages/disadvantages that people have found using Skype and Vonage? -- Brian
