2 out of 5 stars Several standard features are lacking on this phone........2007-06-29

I purchased this phone several (5-6) months ago. The appearance is very similar to my previous VTech phone. I was interested in the phone because I thought it would be a good fit with my Vonage service. What I've found is that this phone is inferior in many ways to the VTech phone I purchased 5 years ago. There is no message light on the phones themselves. Yes, there is a blinking light on the base unit and "message waiting" text appears in the display on the phones, but this is MUCH less visable than having a blinking light on the actual phones (like my old VTech phones). Also, the display on the phones lacks information like the time of day and remaining battery charge. I don't understand why VTech removed useful features - I assumed a new phone would have new technological features and instead it is a big step backwards. I am very disappointed I purchased this phone.

These phones suck! I'm on my second set and have yet to be able to get it to connect. It just sits on yellow. Apparently this is a common problem. If you are one of the lucky few who actually got them to work, yeah for you.

The problem is with the software used in the phones. They should have gone with a simple sip config such as what's used on linksys units, but no. Vonage has no clue how to fix it, you get nothing from VTech and even the computer geeks in the forums are at a loss. They all say the same thing the software in the phones suck!

Save yourself time, money and aggravation and get the linksys product.

1 out of 5 stars Vonage Yes - VTech No!.......2006-10-12

I've had vonage for a couple of years and it works great! I live in a suburban area with great utility wiring and maintenance and we have Comcast - this makes a difference in how well Vonage works. In our old house Comcast took over from Jones cable and we had more problems until Comcast invested in replacing old Jones wiring and equipment since then it has worked great.

VTech Broadband Phone -
When we moved I thought I would just get this instead of altering the phone lines to use our linksis router - big mistake! This turkey did not even cluck. Vonage customer service did their best but nothing ever happened.

I returned this, had vonage register my phone with my old device again got a friend to set up the phone lines to work for us and have been happy ever since.

If it is supposed to be easy to set up and use then a company should ensure that is the case before they send out a product marketed as easy that actually requires a membership card to the techie club to figure out.

4 out of 5 stars Vonage For Convenience.......2006-07-30

I've heard the horror stories about Vonage, but it is a very good service for someone like me who travels regularly. I signed up for Vonage while stationed here in Iraq and I have not had any problems at all. I even purchased a "virtual" number to use between locations that I can access without a router/adapter. My family can call me no matter where I am in the world as a local call to them. I tried Skype and was very disappointed, but Vonage is worth it to keep in touch with my family. And being able to have a regular phone like the V-Tech is great because I don't have to wrestle with a headset or earpiece. For me it makes being on the road or deployed like being at home.

4 out of 5 stars Great phone (but the Vonage rebates are a scam)........2006-05-23

This is a really great phone. The range is good and the sound quality is excellent. We also really like the Vonage system, which has worked exceptionally well for us. It works GREAT with broadband, and doesn't slow down even if you're downloading a lot of files, or playing online games.

My only gripe is with the Vonage rebates, which are terrible. Put simply, Vonage doesn't pay. Once they've got you signed up what are you going to do? It's too little money to switch, and so you won't... but you'll be out $50 or $100. So buyer beware, I suppose. On the vonage forums one poll indicated that 70%+ hadn't received rebates... so be careful here.

In spite of the rebate ripoff, I do love the product. So I guess that says something!
