Hi Mat;
If vontage had just mentioned that you could get "free" directory assistance
via an 800 number they might have had my business. Suppose they were
holding out for their .99 per call. Did you say that charge extra for 800
and 877-888 numbers? That too will need to be investigated. As for their
"phone adaptor" did you just plug it into your router or did you buy a
separate phone adaptor?

how much does what cost, vonage?or free 411?vonage for unlimited with taxes
wich they really slap you with alot of them like doesn't everyone. anyway i
believe my bill with taxes for 1 line was like 32.37 or something like that
but then you get all your long distance for free, 411 with vonage is i
belive, 99 cents, and just for someone interested, their 800 or 888/877 and
866 numbers are like 4.95 or 5 a month, and you can use your own router and
personally, i would and do, they send you a motorola box that is there
device and router in one but i had tons of network problems with it, and
figuring out whats the internet plug on their device is a mystery, its not
the end one which would make sense
