Is there a difference between the 2? I know Skype is only $29.95 a year while Vonage is $25 a month. There is a big difference in price? Which one can replaces a landline phone and be reliable as a landline phone?
I have a Skype and a Vonage service and although I use them both for making calls, the difference is quite obvious! They differ much in prices because they also vary in the services. Skype is also internet based calling but it is software installed on your phone, and it still relies on your computer, whereas the Vonage service is hardware or a hard phone connected to the internet. So basically, hardware is different from software. If the Skype software is not compatible on your PC, it certainly will not work out.
Vonage phone adapter is virtually compatible to any phone there is. And with the price difference, also comes with the type of service. Though it’s a cheaper service, Skype needs a PC to work out and an internet connection. While Vonage only needs your phone and internet connection. Just plug it in. No more complicated software installations. You can make calls elsewhere without ever thinking the processing speed of your computer. Less complications, less hassles means more calls.
The modernization of telephone service–driven by Vonage and hundreds of competitors, is slowly transforming voice communications as we know it. Your preference may vary but take it from me, Vonage is still the most cost effective and innovative way to reach out to your loved ones.
