What is best phone for VOIP? I'm not sure whether to cancel the Vonage service or simply buy new phone and, if so, which one?

if you have a wireless router then the phone and the router are sharing the same frequency, causing the interference.

I used on PC. Set up was pretty easy though documentation and the website interface for managing the service could be better. I develop websites, so I may be critical due to my nature. I used Ooma to replace Vonage. So far I'm satisfied with the service.

When it worked it only worked with Skype. It's called a Skype Phone. Of course, my first one quit and the new one doesn't work at all. My iPod Touch and iPad work with other VOIP services. That's what I'm using now.

There is no such thing as a locked VoIP phone (from Polycom at least). If it still has configuration settings from a previous provider, simply factory reset the device and configure it to work with your new provider.

Yes, just ask for the instructions on how to setup from Vonage and you should be good to go. Just received phone today and setup with Vonage.......

Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine. I didn't have a number that I had to keep but I do know that if you already have an active number and are trying to either switch phone services or are simply switching phones that the company representative you are speaking with will ask you if you would like to keep your old phone number or switch to another available one. I don't think this phone comes with a charger, so just make sure you have one that will work with this phone before you get it because I don't think it comes charged... Good luck and hope these comments help! Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine.

What do you do with a great phone? Discontinue it! The most critical replacement part for this phone (housing that contains the flip hinge) is no longer available. . .most other parts are. This is a remarkable phone. I bought 2 reconditioned phones, I'm using one currently . . .if it deep sixes then I move my SIM card to the other phone and I'm good to go

Edward,It sounds like you purchased an adequate piece of equipment, but I'd like to know what kind of Internet phone you have - is it a home/landline phone designed to work with VoIP? Those phones would most likely be able to connect directly into a modem/router via Ethernet (RJ45) cable, rather than a standard phone cable.Get back to me with some more details, and I'll try to help you out.EDIT: just saw where Alberto answered this already. If you use a landline a good bit, I would keep it and just search for another router.

Totally free GoogleVoice calling ends mid-May. However, I used OBI's web page to sign up for a PhonePower service that is discounted for those using OBI boxes. OBI and PhonePower have done a great job of making the switch and sign up VERY EASY. Two rates, either $3 a month for 300min/mth or $5/mth for unlimited calling+some foreign calling. Included free (911), voicemail, etc. Sort of one-click signup for OBI folks...up and running in 5 minutes...note that you need to go back to OBI page after PhonePower signup to confirm configuration change from Google to PP (again one click). We'll see how it goes. We went with the one-year $60 plan...didn't bother to pay to move my old # as we use the VOIP phone for just outgoing long-distance calls.

Hi. Actually this phone is for NET10 phone service. As someone else said the one for straight talk is more expensive. NET10 is a great phone service provider. I have had them for a few years now and have not had a problem at all. This phone is terrific. Good luck with your service and I can answer any other questions for you I will be happy to do so. Happy New Year also. Missy

This phone works very well with Vonage. That is the company that I use. I don't know about the speed dialing. I use the directory dialing.

I don't use Vonage but some googling found this article which appears relevant: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+and+Vonage

Yes, your vonage should function through this phone but I haven't tried to confirm.

Thank you. The Net Talk is a brand new start-up so I hope they can make it. Searching for that product helped me find another as well. ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills I do not know if they are more likely to be around ten years from now or not. At these prices, they are both worth considering!

I have been using Vonage for several years. During that time I had multiple different cordless phones. All of them worked. I am currently using Uniden that replaced a Panasonic. I have had good experiences with every cordless system. Also I have used Fax machines on the Vonage line. Good luck.
