Vonage v Cell Phones
Monday, September 17th, 2007It’s back to school time and I was recently faced with a problem. Everyone in our house had a cell phone except myself, so there was no home phone service. I had to chose between buying my own cell phone or getting Vonage. I got the cell phone. What a mistake.
The first thing I had to actually do is buy the cell phone $60. There was an activation fee of $50. I got nailed with $20 worth of bogus charges after that and a few other things. So after buying the phone, my first bill was over $70 for a 4 day period. As if I hadn’t already suffered enough with this experience, I quickly learned that even on incoming international calls during nights and weekends, I get nailed with heavy rates! Between $1.50 and $2.00 per minute for the countries I receive calls from.
In short, I already regret not getting Vonage and it’s only been 2 weeks! With Vonage I would get unlimited calls for $24.99 a month. I would be able to make phone calls anytime I want, not just nights and weekends. I would also get much better international rates.
Vonage is definitely a great service for college students. Since we all make so many long distance calls, it is hard to find a cheaper, more reliable, convenient service. Don’t buy a cell phone. www.vonage-promotions.com.
