Vonage Question

Has any of you tried to send a vonage phone to Pakistan? How is the service in general? Does it work ok in Pakistan, provided they have a broadband connection? The customer support is PATHETIC, some indian guy answered and I didnt get a single word he was trying to say. I asked him whether theres an annual contract and he goes ‘sir i can help you lower your telephone bill by 70% blah blah’…

The wi-fi phone they offer looks good, but Im still going for the ordinary cordless (with base unit) VOiP phone.

Re: Vonage Question

The service itself is pretty good, paki connections are not the best but they do go thru. N.America domestic works like promised. I still haven't tried out their wifi phone yet. I have a business account and they want me to get a whole new line for it. Problem with these kinda services is that they charge for every little thing. Given that have lots of options like local virtual numbers for all over the US, Canada and a lot of european countries, then u have the option of getting toll free numbers. But every time u wanna change something its an extra $5 - 10. I have had the account for about 2.5 yrs now. With the business account u get a second (free) fax line.

Re: Vonage Question

Get lingo dude. Not only is it cheaper but better...never had a problem with it. Also unlimited calling to England also :)

Re: Vonage Question

With Vonage its unlimited calling to 5-6 european countries and US and Canada. Never tried Lingo, but when i was getting the service Vonage looked a lot better.

Re: Vonage Question
