Hitting the telephone scene and hurting the big local phone company giants is Vonage. Vonage phone service is delivered via a pre-existing broadband internet line. If you have Cable internet or a DSL line you can use Vonage. The reason of course that you would want to go with Vonage is the fact that the cost of it is significantly lower than what local phone and long distance carriers charge. You can easily save hundreds every year. So now you understand the hype of Vonage if you didn't already know.

There are a few recommendations I make to those who are going to be getting Vonage Broadband Phone Service. First make sure you have a reliable internet connection. That of course would be a Cable or DSL line. These internet connections are always on and usually always fast. This is needed to deliver a good quality signal for the phone.

Next you'll want to make sure you have a router. A router is a small device that routes internet traffic from your Cable or DSL modem to your computer via wireless or wired network. The router in conjunction with the Vonage unit would also connect directly to the internet line and Vonage server. They are not hard to setup. In fact a Vonage representative will be happy to walk you through it by phone.

Using a router will ensure that your broadband phone service is getting the internet connectivity it needs to deliver you an always available high quality signal.

Here is a Vonage Web Site that gives you a FREE Vonage Approved Router and one month of FREE Vonage service when you sign-up there: http://www.VonageOneMonthFree.info/
