I have been working with CSR for the past 14 months trying to get my service working. Vonage has sent me 5 TA and my service still has not worked. I have talked to CS 233 times via email and via phone trying to cancel my service and get a refund, they insist they will get my service working also they will give me free service for the last 14 months of no service. To this date my service is still not working and I have canceled my CC so that I can cancel my service but they started to charge me interest for none payment. I also have sent and email and certified letter to BBB reporting Vonage business practice.

Obviously from the rating I had a bad experience with Vonage, but I assume perhaps it's just my area that is somehow unique (Silicon Valley!). Anyhow, we experienced frequent echoes on the phones, long delays when calling long distance to Europe/Asia (it took up to 2 seconds for the voice to be transmitted), some automatic answering machines blocked our calls (for example I couldn't call Kaiser Hospital from the phone because they were blocking Vonage's server or something), I'd try to call our Vonage number from outside and would get busy signals (my wife assures me she wasn't gabbin on the phone :), and the sound was often choppy. So that's it. Here's a letter I sent to customer service, perhaps this is revealing:

I initially had problems ordering because they could not process my credit card online twice. I tried 2 different credit cards and I kept receiving an error on their website that it could not process. I waited a day and tried again with the same credit card and for some reason, it liked my credit card this time. Besides the credit card issue, it was very easy to sign up. I am happy with the features of the service and was also happy with the different hardware choices that Vonage offers. The biggest issue that I have is that the service appears like you are using an old 1980's Half Duplex phone. When you are talking to someone else you better hope that they do not say something at the same time because you can only talk or hear them talk. If you try talking at the same time you completely lose them. There is also a delay from when you are speaking to the time that they hear your complete response. I am overall happy with the service but the call quality is very poor. Hopefully with some additional customer support this can be worked out.

In my case, 2-email inquiries- One- did not answer the issue; 2nd - never got a reply, until I called up. Phone Service so far is fair

I had an issue with the caller ID. It worked initially then stopped working. I was told that there was an issue with the software on the box that I was using but, they would not send a new box to me. I called over 10 times over the course or two weeks with no resolution. When I told them that I would switch to another service if they couldn't resolve my issue, I was told to go ahead and switch to a different provider.

I've had this service for a long time... about one and a half years. I have almost never had an outage with Vonage. Their service is so reliable, I haven't missed any calls except when my ISP went down. Generally, they were fairly quick at solving problems, but I didn't use customer service that much, so I can't rate them fairly. However, the only nit-picking I can find wrong with Vonage is that their service is only SLIGHTLY more expensive for unlimited plans. For me, though, it doesnt matter because I use a 500 minute plan for nationwide calls in US and Canada. Their price is justifiable for their reliabilty and call quality, and although some providers might say they offer better deals, but I think that they don't and have had some major problems with their services. Vonage isn't a clear winner, but it is one great choice for a telephone VOIP provider. I just like this service because they seem to have a good amount of expertise and relatively good values (I know, I'm repeating what they say, but it really is true).

BEWARE OF VONAGE. Don?t believe all that publicity on TV or internet. The no contracts policy is a lie if you disconnect the service after 30 days and before a year you will be charged with 45$. Customer service stink they treat you badly and with no tech skills, almost all of them don?t speak good English and don?t understand. Voice mail doesn?t work as it should, sometimes receive voicemail a day after the call was made.

Vonage has repulsive customer service, of course this can't be proved unless you try it yourself; be my guest. :) It feels good to know I'm not the only one whom has been victimized. Anyway, in addition to horrible customer service, throughout my painful four month service, I cannot say I had a phone connection with acceptable sound quality as advertised. Vonage advertised a phone service comparable to a land line service. Vonage service is far from this comparable in the wrong direction. Half of the time I was on the phone, I had to repeat myself. Anyway, I'm really bitter and frankly I'm tired of wasting more of my time dealing with this inferior company. I encourage you to learn the hard way as I did. I figured I would at least warn you as others did to me before I learned the hard way. Whatever you decide, in the end you?ll find what works?a land line service.

Vonage does not respond to email/web requests for customer service. The quality of the service is ok; some weird things happen now & then that are annoyances but not usually serious. Getting customer service to respond has been the biggest problem. After several months, they still haven't gotten my number transferred.

I have only had the VOIP up and running for 2 days do far. All has been great. Calls sound almost as clear on a land line. Sometimes at the internet phone side you may hear a faint delay. I had to call customer service 2 times (india) but they did pick up after about 2minutes. Calls were placed at about 8 pm so that might have helped. My problem was my old analog phone I pulled from the basement was not working. Other than that a super easy installation. Everything seems to work and sound great so far. I would refer a friend to this service. Good luck to all...
