How Vonage Works
Vonage is an all-inclusive phone service. Vonage gives you local and long distance calling anywhere in Canada and the US (including Puerto Rico) for one low price. We can do this because we use your existing high-speed Internet connection (also known as broadband) instead of standard phone lines. You'll save money and get great features like Caller ID with Name, Call Waiting and Voicemail Plus included at no additional cost. Vonage also offers access to emergency services through our 911 Dialing that once activated provides quick dialing to local emergency services.Join over 2 million people who have moved to Vonage Internet Phone Service:

How the Adapter Works:
With Vonage, you connect your telephone to your high-speed Internet connection using the Vonage phone adapter that we send you. You can be making calls within minutes of receiving your Vonage device. Simply pick up the phone and begin making and receiving calls like you always have.
When you pick up the phone, the Vonage phone adapter converts your voice into data and sends it through the Internet like an email. Our network sends the call where you want it and translates it back into voice. When the person you're calling picks up the phone, it sounds just the same as any other call. When someone calls you, they dial your number, your phone rings, and all you have to do is pick up and answer it. The only difference is lower phone bills.
What's VoIP?
VoIP (or Voice over Internet Protocol) is a great new way to make and receive phone calls using your broadband Internet connection instead of your standard phone line. Vonage converts your phone calls into data that zips through your high-speed Internet connection just like email. 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.What's Broadband?
Broadband is high-speed Internet access such as through a Cable or DSL modem. It gives you a continuous connection to the Internet at speeds much faster than dial-up. You need a broadband connection to use Vonage because we insist on consistent high quality audio for all your calls. As a general rule, if you're getting speeds of 90 Kbps or better, you probably have a broadband connection.Visit a WirelessWave store today for more information.
