What is Vonage?

Vonage is a revolutionary new phone service that uses your broadband Internet connection. If you have a broadband internet connection, Vonage can relay your voice over the Internet using a regular phone and a phone adapter. This is a technology known as VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol.

All you need is a broadband connection, a VoIP router, and a regular corded or cordless touchtone phone. It takes less than 5 minutes to install.

How Does It Work?
Use Vonage like you use any telephone

With Vonage, you pick up the phone, hear the dial tone and dial the telephone number of your choice. There are no extra numbers to dial and no special routines to follow. It's that simple. You don't have to be an engineer to use our service.

Easy Installation

Plug your phone adapter (the analog-to-digital phone adapter we send you) into your high speed Internet connection. Then take any standard telephone and plug it into the phone adapter.

Surfing the web

And if you'd like to surf the web and use your Vonage service at the same time, the phone adapter can share your Internet connection with your computer. Talk on the phone and surf the net with ease.

How this lets your call travel

Vonage works just like the telephone you have in your home today. You pick up the phone, dial the number and it connects to whom you're calling.

In more technical terms, Vonage uses the phone adapter that we send to you for free to convert your voice from an analog signal to a digital signal. The digital signal then can be sent over your high speed Internet connection because it is recognized as data and then is sent over the Internet.

When someone calls you, they dial your number. Behind the scenes, your number looks very much like an e-mail address. This number instructs the call to travel over the Internet and through our network to the phone adapter we sent you free, your phone rings, and all you have to do is pick up and answer it.

What Do I Need?

All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and VoIP Hardware.
