Cate and I are now Vonage customers. It will take a few days before our number is transferred over so until then I simply plugged an old phone into the vonage hub to see if it was working. The only extra phone I had is a 1940s bakelite phone our friend Kio gave to us a long time ago (carefully rewired with a new RJ-11 plug using only the finest electrician's tape).
There is something very satisfying hearing a dial-tone on a 1940s phone via VoIP. Unfortunately the rotary dial action doesn't work. Maybe Vonage has someone named Sarah who can place the calls for me.
Fair well BellSouth and Sprint, we have instantly halved our phone bill.
