I have been a customer of Vonage for the last 14 yrs and love them. My phone bill starts at $9.99 add local taxes and the 911 service it comes to $13.36 -this includes all my long distance calls. All you need is high speed internet. When I was in Toledo all I had was the basic cable and internet and my bill went up every month. Signed a 6 month contract with Time Warner went to their local office and paid for the contract in full before they ever hooked me up-but every month I got a dun notice and every month I argued with them. At the end of the contract they took me to court. Well I had all my paper work in order and the Judge sided with me and raked TW over some pretty hot coals.His last remark to them was ' You all need to go back to school and refresh your math skills.
