I really need to change from Embarq -- really really! I have been looking at Vonage and reading TOTV people's experience. Do others beside Barefoot have Vonage-cell phone problems?
If you go on line and subscribe to Vonage, they will send your a modem that connects to the Cable/DSL modem you have to have for hi speed internet. The modem is free of charge and when I got one for my Village home I believe I had some number choices, thus my last four are 7373. Vonage has what they call a on line dashboard where you can see all the outgoing and incoming calls, times, duration, and numbers. Don't share this info if you intend to cheat 1rnfl
