I wrote a while back that my uncle was considering trying Vonage. Since he lives in a remote town, he was worried the internet connection would not be reliable enough to support it. Well, to follow up, he did decide to give it a shot. The first thing I noticed the first time I talked to him through his Vonage phone was the clarity of the call. It was crystal clear! His previous land line had always been fuzzy and it made it difficult to understand him.

Well, his wife (my aunt) is from Europe. Needless to say, they make a lot of international calls to keep up with her parents and other family members there. The first time they talked to her parents over Vonage guess what they said . . . “Wow, your phone sounds so clear. What happened?!?” Except they said it in French.

Not only is the quality of phone service many times better for my uncle and his family, but now they can call Europe as often as they’d like for FREE. It’s all included in their monthly flat fee. They will probably save between $700 and $1000 this year on phone bills. What’s the moral of the story? Just because you live somewhere remote doesn’t mean that Vonage won’t work for you and work for you well.
