Vonage Modem - 5

Vonage is a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) provider, which is to say, it lets you make and receive calls using your Internet connection rather than a telephone line. Vonage's service requires a piece of physical hardware, the Vonage Phone Adapter - a sleek black box with two connection points for phone handsets, an Ethernet port that connects to your Internet service, and another Ethernet (LAN) port that connects to your computer or router. Included in the service price, you also get all the basic phone extras, like voice mail and call waiting. Once the equipment is set up, you can make and receive calls just as you would with a landline. We like it.
