Vonnage is good, but Ooma is better. With Ooma you buy the unit for about $200.00, then there are absolutely no more charges EVER. It goes thru your internet connection. We have had it for two years, first in Tampa and now here at TV. We also kept the same phone number, but that was probably because we were in same area code. For a small yearly fee with Ooma you can have two people talking to two different people on the same line - still only one number,, it is quite amazing. For a litle added touch, after you dial a number you hear a little chime for about 5 seconds. Reception is excellent.
Don't know about overseas calls with Ooma, we use Skype for that. Check out their web page. People don't believe us that we have no phone bill.....it's sorta like trying to explain TV and Florida Medicare to Northerners.
