Experience Vonage VOIP Broadband Phone Service

Take a Broadband Trip on Your Phone: Bon Vonage!

VOIP (or Voice over Internet Protocol) is a great way to make and receive phone calls using your broadband Internet connection instead of your standard phone line. VOIP converts your phone calls into data that zips through your high-speed wireless Internet connection just like e-mail. It comes out the other end just like a regular phone call. Your callers will never know that it’s any different since it sounds just like a regular phone call. The big advantage with VOIP is that you can call anywhere, anytime for less money. Using your Internet connection instead of your phone line is less expensive.

A handful of companies, including Vonage, AT&T and Time Warner, now offer Voice over Internet Protocol. To connect to the service, you plug your regular old phone into a telephone adapter connected to your cable or DSL modem. You make and receive calls as you would on a regular phone, the only difference is that calls travel over the Internet instead of over a phone line.
