I never tried that with vonage, but I did fight that fight with voicewing 
which is the same thing but put out by verizon, and it took a little talking 
but I did win that battle. It was just a case of talking to the right 
person. I tried vonage but they wouldn't transfer over my number so I stayed 
with voicewing. For a while vonage was cheaper but it's not anymore so I'm 
glad I stayed I guess.
