Vonage uses your existing
high speed internet connection to provide broadband phone service at low
cost. With Vonage, you connect your telephone to a high speed internet
connection using the Vonage phone adaptor (free equipment from Vonage). The
Vonage phone adaptor converts your voice into data and sends it through the
internet. Their network sends the call where you want it and translates it
back into voice. The people you are calling can answer the call with a
regular analog phone without knowing any difference.

Vonage Virtual Phone Number
Vonage virtual phone
numbers are inexpensive secondary numbers that ring to your primary Vonage
phone line. Vonage virtual numbers are available in many regions and
countries. They provide great savings to people who call you from other
areas or countries. For example, you can get a virtual number with area
code in Florida while you live in California. When your friends and
relatives in Florida call your virtual phone number, they are only charged
for local calls as you receive their calls from your primary Vonage line.
This is a great tool for
businesses too. You can have different virtual phone numbers for different
countries and your foreign customers can call your virtual phone numbers in
their countries without paying expensive long distance bills. Virtual
numbers can be as inexpensive as $4.99 per month!
