Do I need to have a land line to use Vonage?

Q:  Do I need to have a land line to use Vonage?

A: No, you don’t, because Vonage doesn’t use or need a standard phone land line.  Instead, Vonage uses VoIP, or “Voice Over IP” technology, which sends voice signals over a high speed internet connection.  Call quality is great, and callers won’t notice a difference between Vonage and regular phone service.

To use Vonage you will need the following:

1. A high speed internet connection (cable or DSL):  Vonage does not provide this service, but you can easily sign up with any service provider in your area.
2. Touch tone phone:  You can use the phone you already have.  Vonage supports both cordless and corded phones.
3. Vonage Phone Adapter:  Vonage will mail this to you, it’s free of charge with a one-year agreement to either the Vonage World or the Vonage Lite plans.  Users are charged for the adapter if they select other plans, such as Basic 500.

To learn more about how Vonage works, see our “How Vonage Works” section.

Right now Vonage is running several great specials, including Vonage World and Vonage Lite.  It’s a smart time to take advantage of the savings and get yourself some Vonage!
